It was hard between Philosophical and Industrious for me, but I chose Industrious...I just loooove wonderspam :lol: however in a OCC I prefer Philosophical a little for more GPs to settle. (Why isn't there a Philosophical and Industrious leader? Whhhhyyyyy)

Anyway, which is your overall favorite trait?
 
I'd have to go towards Financial. I love to cottage spam the countryside, so this works wonderfully for me. After that organized, because I like to expand more than I should, so this greatly helps.

Conveniently, there's a civ that has both of those with a unique building that is useful and a unique unit that is amazing for its era. Cha-ching

:p

Darius is very strange looking however.
 
Spiritual may not look like a strong trait for most people in term of production or economy boost for your empire, but it's so damn addictive. :goodjob:
 
I like charismatic best of all, it allows your cities to have population of 7-8 inspite of 5-6 pop. rival's cities early in the game. it's a very significant advantage. +nice xp bonus, it's cool for warmongering.
i like charismatic+organized or charismatic+imperialistic best of all.
 
I went with Philosophical, though Spiritual and Financial are right up there too. It's just such a flexible trait, and most of my game strategies for various leaders make heavy use of Great People--so getting more of them is just an incredible boost.
 
Spirtual for me. I like to switch civics around quite a lot, and I play Marathon a lot too, so it's really useful. Even in faster games I dislike the Anarchy though.

Close second were Financial, third Charismatic, fourth Philosophical

Financial all the way. There's no bad financial leader. (not even wang or vic)

How is Victoria bad? My attempts at CE aren't going so well, but I do well with Victoria because of the extra fast settlers, and when I get invaded I get tons of GGs to make better promoted units to save my cottages. She's one of the better Financial leaders IMO.
 
I think Financial is the strongest, although I also rate IND and PHI quite highly.

I definitely want one of these although one is enough (HC wins everything because he has excellent Uniques as well. However, there are many leaders I prefer over Elizabeth since I'd rather have a support trait that aids early production and I can't fully leverage FIN and PHI at the same time. IND/PHI would be my combination of choice if it existed)

Because imperialistic is probably the weakest trait in the game. If you're going to play as england then Elizabeth blows her away.
 
Imperialistic is an excellent support trait that will greatly enhance others. For Augustus, it makes it easy to spam wonders without neglecting expansion which can be a challenge otherwise. For Victoria, it allows a sizable empire that actually does very well in tech (many cottages = weak-ish production so the bonus to settlers is especially valuable). Caesar would be another REXing monster if it wasn't easier to simply take cities etc etc.
And while Catherine has nothing to maintain a huge empire, her unparalleled ability to block off AIs can save one from many headaches on the higher levels.
 
Hard choice between Charismatic and Creative. I picked Charismatic, since I've liked it for longer or something, I dunno.

In before financial dominating the poll and getting like half the votes, as always.

Agreed. Without any of the early happiness resources, you're limited to size 5 in your capital and size 4 in the other cities until you have advanced a bit in technology. It's hard to build an economy with such tiny cities. The basic happiness bonus of the charismatic trait raises this size limit by 1 and the monument happiness bonus raises it by another point. It's a great early game boost and it stays fairly useful throughout the game. The experience boost is a nice extra.

Financial is also a very nice trait because it boost your economy in a fairly straightforward way. I also like organized for it's cost decreasing effect and nice production boost on courthouses. Both these traits help you maintain the cost of early game expansion easier and I like them for that element.
I also like the expansive trait because it gives a nice production boost to workers and granaries. Both are very important elements to develop your cities.

Those are my 4 favourite traits in order of how I value them.
 
I voted Financial, no reason to explain why.
I also like charismatic, because of the 1 or 2 extra happines. In early game this can be big.
The less xp needed for promotions is also nice.
 
I voted Industrious not so much for the wonderspam, but the increased production on the forge. Charismatic would probably be my next favorite.
