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:
Do you prefer to pay a) 80% taxes to the Government or b) 60% taxes?. Voters will rationally opt for b), but you cannot conclude from that that voters _want_ to pay 60% taxes.
On that note if anyone put forward one of these and thinks it could be stated more clearly, please feel free to suggest a better way to articulate it.
