I think it's a very well-done and interesting poll.

I still haven't played with all of the nations, but I've at least looked at nearly all of them.

I find that I have multiple play styles, or that my play style adapts to the nation and god choice, at least to a certain degree.

There are some that seem to fit my taste and styles better than others, though. It also changes a bit as I learn more magic tricks, and depending on whom I'm playing against and what the research and magic site settings are - sometimes the settings make it a bad idea to focus more or less on different kinds of magic. With Very Hard research, one wouldn't want to base a strategy around high-level magic. With very common site frequency, one would want to be able to find sites and use magic gems, and not place too much stock in, say, Ulmish armor!
