Poll: what is the best family for one city challenge?

[Old World Fanatic]

I've never played one city challenge. I am curious what your ideal family is.

It might depend on the difficulty level you're playing at. If playing at your usual level, OCC will feel harder. I think the strongest families for OCC are Artisans, Landowners and Sages. They are the only families I've won OCC with (at The Great). If playing at a lower difficulty, anything becomes possible. We once had a Rome OCC as GOTW (Game Of The Week) which could be won by conquest at least as Champions.

These families give you strong advantages, but as you will be building up very strongly you will need Builder leaders. Which means Egypt/Landowners and Egypt/Sages are some of the strongest pairings for OCC, although Babylon/Artisan might be up there too.
