I've always had a liking for Earth. It has some unique, highly focused combat spells, loads of buffs, effective items and a worthwhile selection of summons.

Least favourite? Fire. Just plain weak, IMO.

but there are much better options for that ammount of gems ( get me enough vinekings to cast vine ogre 25 times ) but yes fire has its merits. but this is simply about favourite paths, not which is best so for now i will stop

I started to like Blood after I stopped feeling sorry for my population and created some Blood Factories (Red Amazons w/ dousers and a lab). Usually before that I stuck with Nature and Earth. I guess I got sick of moving dirt and lil' shop o' horror plants.

As an example of why fire magic is poor, take Marignon.

Now imagine them as 'Iron Faith' Marignon, identical to base Marignon, except they have earth magic in place of fire.

Much, much, better, IMO.
