    Default Emperor of All Europe #1 Poll

    This is the first poll for the Rise of Civilizations game where players are given the oppertunity to vote for an Emperor of all Europe and end the game. (Extremely unlikely at this point.) But you never know.

    The choices are as follows. These are based on the overall balance of economic strength, number of cities and military size. The choices are not listed in any specific order.

    Egypt
    Faroe Islands
    Ottomans
    France
    Russia

    I can't get this danged poll thing to work correctly. And there's an error in the top five.

    Poland, is to be replaced with France.

    EDIT - And like I said, it's based on balance of things, so if someone is extremely lagging in one or two aspects, being immensely power in the third won't help them.

    Heehee, I'm in!

    And me mum said I'd never amount to anything.

    Seeing as Egypt is first on the list, that must mean they're best, so I'm voting Egypt.

    Of course, all these polls on the same thing confuse me.

    Because we all know nobody will actually vote for one person and bring the game to an end, (not this early at least) it's really just a vote to see where sympathies lie.

    And in regards to all the polls for the same thing, it was an accident. I tried three times to get the stupid poll button to work, but every time I hit submit message, I'd get a new pm and it would stop the poll entry screen from actually coming up, so I said forget it and edited the other two.

    Too early for a good vote.

    The cities alteration early on created a "windfall" for those factions whose initial move or two was to acquire lots of new small cities. Let's wait awhile and see where we are.
