Default POLL: Scales, Magic Paths, and Dominion

They seemed like interesting questions that haven't been asked yet.

Although of course there are some nation and build specific strategies it seems like there are some bare minimum scale and dominion choices that carry over from every game.

I also threw in a Pretender-type choice just to see what all these scales and magic choices are being used with.

Did i do something funky with the polls? Why in a question does out of 6 answers the choice register as something like 4%?

In my next game I will play with 1 dominion and see how competitive I get.

I find it curious few chose the magic scale as the most powerful. Although i also voted for order, having +1 magic seems nearly essential to be competitive in most games because it totally changes the cost effectiveness of researchers. Take 3-Drain (-2 research), for example, and Tien Chi is virtually crippled, as it's non-capital mages are cheap, low MR point guys.

If i had to take 3-Drain with 3-Order, or vice versa, there's no doubt i'd choose the magic over the money. Of course, since you choose the scales, you can have your cake AND eat it, since you're the one who baked it! .
