I find the time between turns of PBEM really good - it allows me time to mull over my strategies and do some diplomacy. The lack of diplomacy is one of the things that puts me off SP, actually.

Unfortunately friends will team up during MP games which provides them an unfair advantage and discourages new players since they are killed early as a result of these teams.

That could be annoying... ><
I play mostly SP with some MP (now.) And lots of Hotseat.
I hotseat with my friends when they are around. If you mix it with tv/movies, or some kind of 360 game it can be really fun. I also use hotseat to make Sp interesting. I play more than one faction so i don't get bored as fast.

I have played mostly MP since buying Dom III. I play some SP but rarely will pick up a game I started once I stop. It just is never as fun the next day. MP is much more intriguing though I do get wailed on, especially since I rushed into a bunch of MP games before having any clue how to design a pretender. EG I am Niefelheim with a Sage, no blessing, and not even a rainbow design. I couldn't have made a crappier Pretender had I tried! Nevertheless, losing is almost as fun.

I play only MP recently, including some blitzes. But I will start a huge SP game with new patch and new CB mod.

Single player, only. I am new to the game and completely incompetent, and can only stand to have AIs snicker at me.

I wish the questions were different. I play mostly single player, only because I hafta wait on the other players in MP. I wish the questions would have been "Which do you Prefer" style questions.

I used to play SP a lot, but have totally moved to MP after my first MP game.
Recentlly I have not much time for MP games, and only use SP as small test occasionally.
