 In the one previously mentioned the outcome was obvious:
 
 Graphics, music & UI had seriously improved from Dom I, and it is too early to judge balance (and this was pretty correct in Dom I, while some nations & designs were stronger all nations were playable)...this only left AI.
 
 No offense meant to the guys that enjoy launching polls, but their use to support a personal PoV is debatable at the very least. I much rather prefer an argumented post.
 
 A simple example:
