I intend to get dragons eventually, once I get more $$$

Here are Aliens, but now i restarted poll.

Why are aliens not in the running? Probably because they are a bonusless race which pales in comparison to both pirates and ninjas as far as the background is concerned (imo.) Dragons are the best clearly if you are willing to pay. The real question is Angels vs Demons (or) Arachnids vs Reptiles (clearly the latter two win, as they get the 10% army reinforcement boost.) So the question becomes-- offense vs. defense? Personally I choose the reptiles. Wish I knew more about attrition and how it affects number loss, but ultimately need on average of about 6 armies in a spot for the bonus to reliably add anything (even +1 at that). I prefer an 8 wall blocking an attack more so than a 8 attacker gaining ground.

what you said is very true. In atrittion, you better have an 8 defending than an 8 attacking, because if you attk and loose, the enemy attacked may not suffer a major territory units decreasement, but you will loose ALL your units! In hardcore, the best oportunity is to have an offensive strategy, because if you loose an 8 vs 8, your enemy keeps his 8 and you are decreased to 1, and when you win attacking 8vs8, you take the enemy territory withought any major units lost! So it depends...Also there is a big difference between small and big maps, because on small maps races with army spawn bonuses are useless and attk/def bonus units have a dinamic start; while on huge maps, it is better to generate fast units, than an infime 5% chance to def/attk. The most deadly combination is army stack upgrade 1, 2 and 10% army spawn bonus, it can overkill any other attack or defense bonuses!

The title is "What is you favourite race?". Grammar aside, it implies that all races should be included. Not just bonus ones.

I put all races except non-buyable.

Yeah, I know. But he's saying that you shouldn't have had aliens.
