[Kyriakos]

Im pretty sure Cthulhu will win. I voted for it anyway

 

[KingArthur]

This is so blinkin difficult to vote on.

The mammoth death
the commando paradrop
The chinese crossbow team's boogy woogy run and celebration
The Propeller island's awesome firepower
Cthulu's tentacles
The Scoundrel's Am-Dram Theatrics

 

[tom2050]

It's almost an impossible choice. Decisions, decisions...

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn...

Hrack, hrmm... Sorry, got something stuck in my throat there! I was trying to say that I voted for Cthulhu...

....I may even have to make an entry about this unit on the TV Tropes page titled "Did you just punch out Cthulhu".....

 

[timerover51]

Tom's Propeller Island

 

[Leaven]

So many BIG units this year! I voted for the mammoth.

 

[Deth McBones]

Wow Plot, it really is a testament to your great units when 5 of yours are in the running. Had to go with Cthulu, as he would beat all of the other units in a fight.

 

[Goldflash]

I don't think I can make this decision without alcohol.

 

[Steph]

I think Plotinus's units are all above the others. I voted for the Scoundrel as I really love how "flavourish", and almost exagerated the animations are. He is like an actor making a caricature of a scoundrel in a play

 

[General 666]

I vote for Vuldacons Farmhand - hoping that a unit wins which makes at least sense for the game.

 

[Underpaid]

I don't think I can make this decision without alcohol.

Agreed. This was simply a year of spectacular unit releases.

On a more serious note, I voted for the Steampunk Island. To me, it feels like the most epic one; it's an moving, manmade island after all. And it's detailed and well animated.

 

[Takhisis]

The Steampunk Commando, obviously.
I would also like to give 2nd place to tomo2050' flying island thingy. Seriously, tom should get a special award for producing spamming so many units of such quality!

 

[BadKharma]

I don't think I can make this decision without alcohol.

Make mine a double.

 

[Takhisis]

Plotinus is taking 3 out of the first 4 positions so far…

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I voted for the Steampunk Commando. Great job for all!

 

[nick0515]

Cthulhu.

So many great units. Was very hard to choose, but the Cthulhu just looks so fricken scarey I had to vote for it. It's so realistic looking the way it's tentacles flail about. Just an exceptional unit.

If the Cthulhu wasn't present I think I would have gone with one of Tom's two excellent creations.

 

[Goldflash]

I vote for, once again, my house.

 

[Takhisis]

bwuh?

 

[nick0515]

Damn I didn't realise Goldflash's house was in the running. Can I change my vote?
