OO, only because of Hemah. Twincast + Fire III + Enchantment III = 12 meteors. I've yet to find the city garrison than can stand up to this for more than 2 turns.

I like the Ashen Veil. AV priests get ring of flames and are the best summoners. I also like to get Stigmata on the Unborn and pump up the armageddon counter for stronger units. Of course, I've been playing Sheaim a lot in Fire so this suits their play style well.
Also, Sacrifice the Weak + Agriculture is really good for rushing production / feeding (calabim) / summoning (eater of dreams). In fact, it's better than OO + slavery because of needing less food!

FoL. I love the synergies between Khazad and RoK. I love the science AV gives you, despite the side effects. However, I rely on religion for culture (oddly enough, I don't in vanilla). Of all the culture producing religions, FoL is my favourite, primarily due to the health benefits. It is probably a weakness in my game, but that is my playing style.
Runes. The increase in production and gold really keeps your empire working like a dream. Also, with the Soldiers of Kilmorph, you have several interesting options on how to build. I often find myself building ton of them in my main cities to quickly build monument/theatre/temple of kilmorph in all my new cities. It removes the downtime during which a new city is just a drag on your economy, and makes them almost instantly useful. Also, having a big stack of them just sitting around is great for rushing important wonders. In most games, I usually separate one high-production city as my "wonder city", where I build all wonders which have a global effect, and as long as there are no wonders or prod improving building to build there, I just keep pumping soldiers of kilmorph. Gotta laugh at the poor infidels who think they can outrace me in wonderbuilding.
Flavor-wise, definetely OO. Iä mglw'nagh ph'unglui Cthulhu R'lyeh wagh'nagl ftaghn!

I got burnt by someone using 3 confessors with ring of flames (or whatever it's called). 3 of them destroyed any unit I had at that time!

31 votes for runes? and they say girls are the gold-diggers.

I believe the applicable proverb/stereotype is that men have a head for business.

I meant it as; since dwarves usually dig for stuff, and gold being one of those resources. Gold Diggers.

Lol, I got that. It was actually very funny.

I used to prefer RoK over OO because Bambur was much better than Saverous (of course there are many other reasons but I'm a simple man) but now Saverous has been made stronger than Bambur in direct combat (but Bambur has special abilities) I tend to like OO most. It's just a fun religion to play!
