Ok, everyone is always throwing around stats to prove that races were overpowered in a certain round. However, i have never seen a table where ppl take into account how many planets of each race were present.

So, here is my (more realistic) view on how powerfull races were in the last few rounds

Code:
 
Percentage of planets of each race ENDING in the top 100
 
   R41   R40   R39   R38   R37   R36   R35   R34
Ter  16,3%  4,7%  7,6% 12,3% 24,6%  6,1%  7,4%  2,3%
Cat   5,0%  7,3%  0,4%  4,8%  4,3%  9,1%  3,4%  8,7%
Xan   0,7% 15,5%  5,4%  2,5%  7,5% 10,3%  4,3%  4,6%
Zik   2,8% 11,9% 13,8%  5,5%  5,6%  5,8% 21,5% 14,8%
Etd  11,1%  1,4% 13,9% 15,1%  9,2%  4,8%  4,9%  9,1%
So what does this mean?

Example:

Of all the cathaar that were present at the last tick of Round 41, 5,0% ended in top 100
Of all the eitraides that were present at the last tick of Round 41, 11,1% ended in top 100

Since (not presented in this post) 14 cathaar ended in top 100, and 15 eitraides, it would seem they were (almost) equally strong. However, relative to the amount of eitraides/cathaar in the entire universe, eitraides performed much better then cathaar (C=5%, E=11,1%), since there were many more cathaar planets, and 1 less of them ended in top 100 then eitraides planets.

Taking this a step further, we could make ratios; Define a ratio of 1.00 if a race has exactly the same % of planets in top 100 as it has % of planets in the entire universe. If the ratio is <1, the race underperformed, if the ratio >1, the race overperformed. This gives the following table

Code:
 
Performace ratio
 
     R41  R40  R39  R38  R37  R36  R35  R34  Average Average2*
Ter 1,80 0,50 0,88 1,44 2,90 0,80 0,93 0,29     1,19     1,06
Cat 0,55 0,77 0,05 0,56 0,50 1,18 0,43 1,14     0,65     0,77
Xan 0,08 1,63 0,63 0,29 0,88 1,34 0,54 0,60     0,75     0,82
Zik 0,30 1,26 1,61 0,64 0,65 0,75 2,69 1,93     1,23     1,14
Etd 1,23 0,15 1,62 1,77 1,08 0,62 0,61 1,19     1,03     1,06
 
*) Average leaving out worst and best performance
Conclusion:
- Etd overperforms most often with 4/8 rounds
- Zik is second best with overperformance of 3/8
- Then Ter, Xan and Cat with 2/8
- If you purely look at the average performance, cathaar score worst, and zikonian scores best
- Even if you leave out best and worst rounds for each race, cathaar remains the worst race
