good poll! make more!

The reason I did not split up the poll in multiplayer and solo is because this is a GENERAL thread.... It counts your overall preferences solo + multiplayer

Very good poll. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who doesn't complete games anymore. I finished 3 or 4. Now when the turns take too long and my eventual win is reasonably certain, off to a new game. I like to save the unfinished games and when there are too many accumulated I dump them all. Of course I never returned to a single one of them either. Don't know why I save them, I'm well aware that I never go back to them, but I still save them.

LoL Same Here

I started playing smaller games now to avoid this.

I was expecting more people to like immortality better than the other states... :S

I think it's because the question isn't "which ability is most powerful" it's "which do you consider the most valuable state of your units" - for which the answer is probably holy, since for many units/nations/players the sacred/holy tag is extremely important. You're far less likely to actually run into immortality on your units.

It's also such a situation dependent question, it's almost unanswerable.

Immortality is great for key units, like a pretender, but unless you're dominion pushing it's really only useful on defense. And only then if you can get the troops back to the front quickly. Does anyone really build strategies around Vanheim's Fay Boars?

Some Sacreds are great, others aren't worth bothering with.
Regeneration is great on high hp units, almost useless on normal humans.

Etc, etc.

I think the poll will show us the spread more than decide what is or isnt a certain thing. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are players who Stealth is their operating feature. And abit surprised to see Awe winning out over Fear.

Same here... My personal preference is fear over awe..

Personally, I am amazed at the number of people that complete construction first. Why on earth would you want construction nine? Sure, as a few nations, the forge might be good, and ME agartha probably wants siege golems and irons dragons, but isn't eight enough for just about everyone else?
