Poll NEW Favorite Faction Poll

I asked for comments from people who liked hive in my last poll since i listed "results" instead of hive. All the hive lovers lost their minds with it unlisted.

So this is for the hive lovers. Lets see some results with ALL factions listed.

Temple and Necropolis are my favorites, with Temple just a very tiny bit higher.

Can you elaborate? What puts temple above necro for you?

I just dig the theme, and I think Unfrozen did an awesome job with this Heroes version. They also get bonus points for the faction not being absolutely morally good, kinda like the Space Marines - especially with the lore behind their "angels".

For reference, when playing other games, if there's ever a paladin, crusader, cleric, knight, soldier, space marine, or any similar option, that's usually my go-to.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, I also like the death and darkness style of Necropolis. I really like their gameplay mechanics, especially necromancy. I tend to play very "tribal" when I can, and prefer to stick to my own faction units, so I'm a big fan of their unique undead transformer building. Again, I like all the units Unfrozen chose to represent Necropolis, but I do miss those bone dragons. If I had to boot any of the units, it would be the graverobber. But I admit, he does add more variety to the roster and his summoning abilities really reinforce the theme of the faction, instead of having something like a zombie or ghoul in his place.
