KOTR Faction Poll:Round Two

[Privateerkev]

It might depend on how close this poll is. If there's a third poll and only two options on it, I think it'd work better if everyone had to pick only one faction. With three factions it'd kinda suck if you picked faction C because you liked it the best, but noone else picked them and faction A, your least favorite, won by just one or two votes.

If the third poll has three choices I might leave it multiple choice. If anyone voted for all three it would be a non-vote anyway, and that way people could choose their favorite and second favorite.

Good point

Of the 19 people that voted for at least one of the top 3 factions:

2 voted for all 3

6 voted for 2 of the 3

11 voted for just 1 of those 3

Assuming the 11 vote the same again in a 3 way poll, those 8 who had 2 or 3 picks could easily swing the poll towards 1 faction.

So, if you limit it to 1 vote, you could see a very decisive swing to 1 faction. If you keep it multiple-guess, then it will be more of a horse-race. Which could be interesting.

These are pretty close as it is. It's 9/9/11 right now.

I say force people to sort themselves out. If you let the fence sitters take all three options we'll end up with a lot of half happy people instead of a few. We've already narrowed the options twice, it's time to finish it off.

Greetings all...

I went with the ERE because they are so challenging and different. It is already a pretty big faction with plenty of room for generals and expansion. It also seems fitting that they would be the successor to the Western Roman Empire.

You still have your heavy infantry, your decent heavy cavalry, but you now also have the advantage of horse archery. Also, having to work to expand your empire and your religion is a plus. Frankly I think being France would be too easy. Not being able to manipulate the Pope and the possibility of having Crusades or Jihads pass near or through our lands will keep us on our toes.

France can be a close second choice, but they are too similar to the HRE and they have too many advantages.

There should still be plenty of voters left out there, so don't be swayed by the temporary ERE lead. Go with what you want.
