Wow, some of those are high!
Which is precisely why I don't have a lot of respect for the abilities of a lot of high ranked players at late-game. I by no means am claiming that all high ranked players that prefer late-game are bad players, but that I'm personally much more impressed by the small few that are high ranked both early on when nobling barbs and internalling won't usually get you top ranks and then continue to be high ranked during late-game rather than never being high ranked till late-game.
I might rarely play past startup/early-game, but when I do my accounts don't look like that. Last time I passed 100 villages I had 31 villages before ever nobling a barb or internal village, and at 100 villages had 4 barb conquers and 31 internals at 101 villages. Combined 35%. Admittedly somewhat high (though still lower than 6 of the top accounts here, and I counted things in my internal list that I didn't for anyone else because I know which villages were free despite not being the same tribe and counted them), but almost all of the internals came after crossing 50 villages because world hoppers started quickly quitting around then. Also worth noting IMO that it was a no morale world which made internalling more useful than otherwise because the villages could be used to build nukes in without actually weakening the offensive strength of my other villages by not affecting morale.
