    I'm glad that that Dev games don't count in the regular Chart stats, and I see your point Step with it can be helpful, although it can be harmful too. Trying too hard to make a game "balanced" can ruin the game, and with a small sample at times it is quite easy to swing the pendulum from one extreme to another.

    That said, an extra Dev games chart (somewhere, perhaps just a pop-up from the Board Designer tab, ie like the Games List) for the Board Designer person may not be a bad thing.

    asm is a CYLON!!!

    This may be really hard to implement and may still be useless. With map creation, every change you make to the map causes it to be a new version ... so this means designers need to make a new version every time they made a change to the map. If not, then the data will be coming from all games of all iterations of the map.
    Currently, I just go through the development games on my boards and watch how they played and see what can be done to fix them.

    If there is a simple solution to what I said above, then cool, and even though I think the information is somewhat useless, I would like to see it as well (should be split across versions).

    I see very little value except perhaps to the developer. The "official" board is the "ranked" board. Why would we want a set of alternate stats?

    I believe this would only be seen by the developer and possibly those who beta test.

    That's correct.  I'm simply asking for charts on Dev games for the developer, and as Alpha said, if it's simple to implement, great.  If not, no biggie.  I understand there will be multiple versions of a Dev game until it is actually released, and it'd be nice to have the stats for all of the version in case I tweak something that ends up working better in a previous version.  I would consider these stats are temporary anyway since Dev games are just that until they're released - imo.  I don't expect this to be put at the top of tom's priority list.  I'm just making a suggestion to see if it's even possible.

    ~StepOnMe - there's none like her!
