Having not a planet at all this round, and not watching the progress on the game at all, just then i had a quick look at the
stats from Sandman's regarding Races.
Frankly, i was shocked to see that Xandathrii has the greatest average score, the greatest average roids, and almost equal top average value untill right at the end of the round when Ziks obviously start picking up large amounts of fleet.
So, some points for discussion; are Xans very well represented at the very top of the game or is it just that the average is high? (cf Terran where the average is artificially low as it is the default race; at the time of writing Terran had 6 of the top 10 planets), is the success of Xan this round due to ship stats? or just aggressive play? have Xans been willing to call people's bluff more this round and actually land more (and thus more XP), or are the changes to scans mean that Xans attack more successfully and/or are harder to attack?
What are the reasons behind the apparent success of the race this round?
