Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?

GP, I'm currently taking a course this semester that will require me to learn how to do all kinds of variance analysis (basically, correlation and covariance).

If you can get me the data, I can perform this analysis and comment usefully on the outcome.

In addition to simple placement, I (personally) am interested in the strength of a nation related to the distance it starts from every other nation. This might be a good measure to determine the shift in strength of a nation from early/mid/late.

As an example, many people claim that certain nations are vulnerable to rushes. Since not all nations can perform such rushes, an analysis comparing the 'rank' of a vulnerable nation to the distance it starts away from the rush nations might reveal whether there is, indeed, something to examine.
