God of Kings
Ruler of all heads of state
The Grand Temple will be a national wonder. It will require every non-puppeted city in your empire to have a temple.
Continually "upvoting" something, especially if you don't feel its the best option but that others undervalue it, really devalues the purpose of these polls, if there is one. I guess the intent of the polls is to reach a democratic agreement about what the best options are, but when one or two people constantly vote for one thing or against another, it skews the results. You've almost directly stated that you'd prefer to vote for something else, implying that you're purposely misrepresenting your findings in game-play to nullify the findings of others. If you feel that strongly that you've found an element of the game that others have missed, that's wonderful - start a new thread and make your points.Viking Fury 16 (+1) I would really like to quit upvoting VF as there are plenty of great UAs out there - the problem is this one I feel is so underrated and doesn't deserve to be under 20 that I have to keep voting it up as for the aforementioned reasons. My hope is people will be enticed by pillaging changes to explore the rest of the UA (The great ocean/lake/sea aspects of it)
Nobel Prize - More Great people helps any kind of VC. Additional way to use them adds to this flexibility. Also, one of the only non-religious civs that can dominate religion. Going Honor and gifting that general to a religious city state basically ensures a pantheon and a great head start on a religion.

On a side note, I haven't voted for any of the polls as I feel the formatting is pretty bad. If the intent is to reach a democratic agreement regarding best options, people should only vote for something once and against something once. As there are 30 or so options available, it would be possible to cast a second vote, but for something else and against something else. Frankly, I feel that the real reason a lot of people are voting daily is to increase the total number of posts that they've contributed, which they feel somehow enhances their credibility.

down to viking fury because so long as a certain 'gooky' person keeps upvoting them i will be downvoting them, applying the same personal agenda logic they used to downvote in a previous thread, plus i am highly suspicious they are making fake accounts to get even more votes!!! (gasp), i have no proof but im going to subtly imply cheating anyhow, again based upon the precedent earlier set.
Who cares?
Vote however you want to, but don't cheapen the value of the conversation by voting against people rather than UAs.
