Default Which Age is your favorite?

I'm very new, and havent even played half of the races yet, but I find I really enjoy the Middle Era, since there seems to be a nice blend of magic and troops, and some races seem even "familiar" from other contexts. Which do you prefer? Which races get the most traffic in the D3 community?

Actually each era has its flavour.
In Early age most of the nations have very tough commanders that can fight alone and powerful magics.
Middle age is the most balanced.
In Late age most of the nations are very specific and have their own features that require different playing style. And that's really nice.

I've thought about this a few times when preparing to host a game, but I haven't been able to make up my mind decisively any of the times. Therefore, I guess I enjoy all ages equally.

I voted MA, but nearly voted EA. I quite like LA too.

I like EA most because of the magic diversity.

Middle Era, due to the thematics, as well as some parts of the Late Era.

Though when it comes to gameplay, Early Era due to the magic diversity.

EA. Im more into Solo play and RPG than multiplay so I tend to like the EA world better.

I voted EA because super-units and awesome mages are fun (and are more common then).

But then all my favorite nations are in MA (Pythium, Arcoscephale, Ashdod, Ulm, Marignon, TC Bureaucracy, Bandar Log, R'lyeh Fallen Star).

And I really enjoy the feel of LA (though it gets a little depressing after a while...) I wish a few more nations had a "happy" end, like Jomon, who I call "happy" because the humans win (my species!) and they don't end up heavily into death or blood magic.

I voted EA because it seems more "ancient" and mysterious to me .
