Wow.. Where to start..
I love Ermor, Ashen empire only.
I love man, who needs themes?
I can play Ctis as I like the dancers.
I love Mictlan.
Pangaie is fun, and I like the age of iron option (whatever they call it).
Arcosephale - I only like Golden Era. I love philosophers, fast research trail,mind burn,soul slay.
Jotunheim I like - cheap mages, and boy can they tear down forts.
Pythium is cool, although I don't much go for hydras.
Caelum raiding is...incredibly fun, although I generally cant stand the "nerve wracking, constantly moving" pace.
I love the Autumn & Spring of Tien.. An age of heros.


On the other hand:
Can't stand ULM, boring, weak
Marignon.. Might as well call them Iran to me - although I know its more a Teutonic theme.
Machkava. Spiders are for squishing, not playing with.
Vanheim. Worthy foes. Too expensive.
Ryleh is fun.. but I cant stand loosing priests to the void gate.
Atlantis is just boooooooring.
Abyssia... I know everyone likes em. Too expensive, slow for my style of play. Must admit.. watching troops becoming flaming marshmallows is fun..

Favorite subtlety:
With Death 9, as your troops and leaders die, they become souless. Accumulate enough of them for your own "free" amphibious force. Good enough to take that first water hex....
