Vote for favorite civ

[Sarisin]

Clan of Embers, which is currently screwed up though.
My second favourite are Mercurians.

My favorite remains the Elohim after trying out the two new civs. Maybe the poll could be refined a bit to ask for a Favorite Leader. I just love playing as Einion Logos and it is easy to get the Altar Victory with him at any game difficulty.

onedreamer, I don't want to stray too much OT from this thread, but I have to ask you about playing the Mercurians in .30. They used to be my 2nd favorite too, but I was just about to start a new thread on why they are unplayable (without a lot of grief anyway!) in .30.

The many bugs (I mentioned some in the bugs thread) combined with the horrible ally AI is just too much and I am very reluctant to build the Mercurian Gate now. I still love taking the Big Guy out with some Angels to bring down the bad element, though, I must admit.

But, haven't you seen a lot of problems when you take over as Basium?

Damn...Only two of us like the Sidar?

Free Great Sages, man!

The Sidar would have been my second choice.

 

[Witzzard]

Voted for Sidar, but if i could i would vote for more

 

[sylvain5477]

The Doviello were my second choice but it seems they are noone's first !

 

[Cuteunit]

I generally shade to greatengineers more than I do sages.. I get too many sages from regular GP generation...

 

[OzzyKP]

Yea, I'm always personally biased toward production myself. A great engineer is way too tempting to pass up.

Yeah I think the poll would be more accurate if everyone could pick more than one, I really had a hard time picking my favourite out of Grigori, Lanun and Doviello.

 

[Humakty]

The Clan of Embers first, but when I want to trash them out I take those nifty sheiam arcane/summoner.
Can't wait for the update, see changelog 0.31, CoE stepping out of shadow !

 

[reveler]

I like the two new approaches, but the Balseraphs have to be the most flavourful civ. The Freak civilopedia entry always makes me shiver.

 

[Kael]

heh i didnt think the belseraphs were so popular. I wonder what kael's favourite civ is...

Its close and it depends on my mood but my favorite is probably the Lanun. I played a Mercurian game yesterday and had great fun and played half a Clan of Embers game this morning (to test out the Warrens balance) today and enjoyed it.

 

[icantcmyeye]

Hippus, with Calabim and Malakim a close second

 

[Black Attila]

For a warmonger like me, there's only one. Hippus! Superfast horsemen who can rape and pillage a countryside. Surprise unsuspecting workers and weak units who think they are safe far away.

The closest thing to Blitzkrieg warfare this game has.

Also, one of the most kick ass heroes in the game and who can't like the fearsome combination of Tsunke...aggresive and raider

Also, almost by accident(or so I'd like to think) Kael and company made it oh so easy to grab up the Empyrium Religeon since horseback riding and trade are on the way to stirrups!

 

[Dumhead]

grigori for me. adventurers really fit my style of play.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Mine constantly changes: it is usually whichever civ I modded most recently.

 

[DharmaMcLaren]

Ljosalfar. They feel like the only "good" faction in my eyes, maybe aside from the Elohim and Grigori. The Grigori I also love, gameplay and flavour wise, but I don't like the Elohim so much for gameplay. I just don't think they feel... pacifistic enough, it's too difficult to play them without getting into wars and it's harder to convince the AI to stop wars.

 

[hossam]

calabim, amurites and the balserpahs are my favorite

 

[Nikis-Knight]

Our fire civs seem the least popular, or at least no one's favorites. Is that because people don't like to switch once they get a civ going?

 

[Tlalynet]

Im Civ switching, Im on Svartalfar now, they are a fun play, but they usually kill even high level AI very quickly. Kuriotates I thought would be very interesting, but there games havent been much fun so far. Balseraphs are fun just for the insane trait, I dont really like them otherwise. Sheaim got my vote, they are fun all around and I like their feel. I usually play them Good though. I couldnt find playing infernals much fun, as great as it sounds they just cant get off the ground very easily when I play them. Sidar where kind of meh, they are majorly non militant as they tend to spend their good troops on shades, and they are kind of a late game civ as it takes a while to set up the Altar of Lunorator to get high level quick to 6 deciple units, its still worht playing them once just to have 50 Great Engineers in one city. Thats all Ive played so far, not sure where to go next.

 

[Nikis-Knight]

Sorry, by switching I meant in game; the infernals and mercurians are currently at 1, combined.
