Your Favorite Paths and Races

[DLC]

looks like my favourite race is in the lead right now abysia

The balance of these polls results really is impressive. There isn't a major gap from first to Last place in either poll. Yet another indicator that the game balance is by and large excellent.

For what it's worth, my vote is totally R'lyeh (what's not to love, especially for a kid who's been a Lovecraft fan since junior high?) with, unsurprisingly, Astral being my favorite path.

[Teleolurian]

Man/Air for me. Not because they're my 'favorite', just because I'm good at winning with them.

It's surprising that Nature gets such a high ranking. I always thought the subtle and indirect ways to use it will make it unpopular.

Why do you choose Nature?

[Yossar]

I like nature because it's the only way for a nation besides Arco to heal afflictions. Having a few afflictions on your pretender isn't the end of the world, but it is annoying.

I didn't pick Arco or nature as my favorite but they'd both be up there.

It's those damned Ice Devils.

Blood summons are a bLast...so much color and flavor added to the game.

Nature is so darn useful -- supply items, healing, decent commander summons (Firbolg for archers / commanders, Lamia Queens for sorcery, Feathered Serpents for astral/nature/holy, Faerie Queen for healing), decent chaff (vine ogres / vine men, which don't require special leadership), Gift of Reason to play with... oh, and Relief, which is just brutal when combined with Communion, or, perhaps, Rigor Mortis. Oh, and nature lets you find sites which get you Witches, which opens up elemental magic. And some may benefit from Mass Protection, so long as they're not near Abysians or other heat-radiators.

Unless you're playing the undead masses, in which case supply / chaff / relief are much more minor concerns, it's very very nice to have.
