    Yet Another Favorite Faction Poll

    My tastes have changed somewhat since the last one. I am most affectionate towards the Morgans as a bastion of capitalism (and the most likely to make it as a real country). (Not to mention the architecture!)

    But there are things I like about others, too. I admire the Believers for their faith. I admire the Hive for their martial values. I admire the Spartans for their bravery and stoicism. I admire the Usurpers for knowing exactly what they want and letting nothing stand in their way.

    I admire the Peacekeepers their concern in humanitarian matters, and attempts at a compromise that fits all ideologies. I don't scorn anything about them

    I admire the University for their pursuit and free flow of knowledge. I scorn their lack of ethics in such pursuits.

    I admire the Hive for the joy they have in a collective goal to work for, their simple life, free from worldly desire. I scorn their methods of keeping the people in line, and their brutal dictatorship.

    I admire the Spartans for their valour, and military acumen. I scorn their bloated defensive budget that would set industry backward.

    I admire the Gaians for their environmental awareness, but scorn their attempts to stamp out legitimate industrial and economic progress.

    I don't admire the Morganites (I'm a socialist) because this faction is pretty much a bunch of pigs seeking to exploit the working class, and the planet's resources for the betterment of a wealthy minority.

    I scorn the Believers even more because their blind faith sets them back to the Dark Age, and threatens free will and rational thought.

    Can't comment on the SMAX factions as I was too late looking for it. But I will say that I don't like the Progenitor factions' lack of concern for the human race (I played the demo at least) and I admire the Pirates for their iron will to survive in the harsh seas of Planet.

      Gaians (voted for them) and the Peacekeepers are my favourite SMAC factions.

      Gaians - my philosophy nearly matches theirs plus a good hybrid faction

      Peacekeepers - this is one excellent hybrid faction plus I like their democratic policies

      The SMAX factions seem to lack that "classic" touch that SMAC factions have.

        OH BOY !!! My first poll...

        How do I vote ? By favorite to play, or favorite idealogically ?
        This is what it means to be a Spartan. It's not the killing or the suffering that matters. It's the purity of focus, without fear of death or pain.

          Whichever one suits you. It suited me to vote by ideology, but that's because I have trouble being the leader of a faction of religious freaks when I denounce Christianity as a load of backward bullcrap.

            Let's get this out of the way right now. It makes no difference what criteria you use to vote on this poll. If you vote for the Gaians because you like having +2 Efficiency and the ability to "worm rush", fine. If you vote for the Gaians because you are a hippie who smokes things he shouldn't smoke and kisses trees, fine. If you vote for the Gaians because Lady Deirdre invades your dreams and causes you to wake up in a sweat, fine.

                    Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I've now voted for the faction I most enjoy "playing".
                    This is what it means to be a Spartan. It's not the killing or the suffering that matters. It's the purity of focus, without fear of death or pain.

                      Ah, I have made my decision. My choice? CEO NWABUDIKE MORGAN'S MORGANITES of course! They might be a lot of capitalist pigs, but they are my capitalist pigs.

                      Hmmm...let's see...other factions I like include the Believers and the Hive...don't ask me why I like the Hive...I hate 'em...I wipe 'em out whenever I'm not playing them...but they sure are neat!!

                      I like UoP too, of course. In fact the only ones I really hate are the Data Angels, the Usurpers, and the Caretakers!! And I must admit, I still think the latter two are rather neat...despite the fact I hate 'em!!

                      So...no one loves the Cultists, eh?
                      Empire growing,
                      Pleasures flowing,
                      Fortune smiles and so should you.

                            (Me, too.)
                            Wandering among the threads, I get a feeling - I can't really say why - the Spartans are under-rated by many players, both as a playable faction and as an opponent. I thoroughly enjoy being a member of Santiago's crew, and, conversely, look forward to encountering them.
                            I am on a mission to see how much coffee it takes to actually achieve time travel.

                              I agree completely. Perhaps peaceniks (the kind of people who like the Peacekeepers and the Gaians) dislike their "armed and prepared" philosophy. And people who play by generating obscene amounts of energy and minerals don't like their -1 Industry rating.
