Add this to your poll. How many of these wins were by Clam Hoarding Vamp Queens??? If I join one more Multi that has 3-4 Vamp Queen pretenders (yawn...boring) I am going to puke! Come on people get a little more creative.

Nothing "creative" about it. It's about being optimal. And currently the VQ holds the crown. It's too bad but them's the facts.

Vampire Queens have their points, but they're not that good. You just need to play with some different people.

VQ is optimal hmm? Well, I'll be damned, I rarely use VQ's at all and I win 95% of all my games. But if dem's the facts, then I guess dem's the facts.

In the games I've been in the ability of the players and who they decide to attack and gang up on plays a far larger role in who wins than what nations have been picked. You can be the best player with the best nation and if the rest of the players gang up on you, you're in trouble. I haven't played many (probably any) games where all the players were of about equal skill and knew each other well, though.

That makes sense to me. People love to gang up on Ermor but given the right map, players, and settings it isn't exceptionally hard to turn them into a powerhouse.
