Overall stats:
Most hired specialist
Most promoted specialist
Average win time (probably would have to be independent for each player # game)
Average outposts controlled by the victor at game end
Average # of mines controlled by the victor at game end
Maybe a graph of average driller production versus time into the game

Individual stats:
Opponent drillers killed (and an average per game)
Your drillers killed (and an average per game)
Graph of average driller production versus time into the game
Graph of average # of outposts versus time into the game
Your most hired specialist
Your most promoted specialist
Your quickest win time

I'm sure there are a lot more, but point being, this would be an awesome addition to the game.

Total outposts captured
Total drillers destroyed
Total messages sent
Total distance traveled in hours by all subs in all games (this might be hard to count)

A negative consequence of global stats occurred to me today-- it encourages people to play lots of games all at once, to shoot their stat up faster. Lots of games means less focus on each game, and a diminished experience for everyone.

To counteract this, I'd suggest any global stats be shown as a per game average. So it would still take into account every game you've ever played, but boil it down to a per game avg. This would ensure people play their best, and don't just spam games for the sake of stat bolstering.

The ios game ‘Coup’ (which is free if people want to see what I mean) lets you buy an expansion called ‘Spies’. And this expansion allows you to have 1 spy available per game that lets you either a) hide your stats from others, or b) use that spy to see the detailed stats of one of your opponents. The game is completely playable without it (I don’t have it) and only gives you background information regarding the players general strategy.

So maybe general averages across the community are available to everybody, but some feature allows you to get the detailed stats off 1 or 2 players in a specific game.
