I moved it from OWRP because, well, one weekly comment from me would probably count as gravedigging. Here I can update it in peace.

The weekly updates are in comments following this.

This is a list of all the Sanction Race alliances in order of space wonders. Ties go first to the alliance with more Mars wonders, and then to the alliance with more Space Programs. Should there be a tie at that point, then to the alliance with more score.

IRON: +6 wonders

I'm not doing biggest loser (lots of alliances had a change of 0), or passes (the rules for tiebreaking changed from the first stat collection, where I wasn't tracking space programs).

IRON continues to supply evidence for the belief that the best time to buy these wonders is right after a war in which a nation's NS has been greatly reduced, but it still has significant remaining warchest. As well, the difference in development rate of these wonders between NPO and IRON suggests that the extended war that NPO experienced did actually drain most of their nations' warchests.

It is also interesting to note how many nations have opted to buy colonies before mines. Given a proper resource set, a mine has a better economic impact on a nation, however it does not have the military utility of a colony. Seems that at least some people out there are preparing for their next ZI already.

Härmlins collectively gain 17 space wonders, as MHA makes an incredible leap forward.

Also, welcome to space WAPA. Seems Athens has another dissident besides Angryraccoon landing on the Moon.

TOOL had a large nation join them two days ago, with a Mars mine and base already in place, leading to their leapfrog of four alliances. Of course WTF's passes demonstrate just how tight the race is in the middle.

Also, apologies to M*A*S*H, who appear to have been listed too low in the last update.
