Actually cults :) I only play cults. Nothing else than cults. Cults own. Cults. Got to say more?
But i thought of testing Mutants a bit, but they are not like what i expected them to look like. They look like magicians or something. Thats why i dont like them... I though the Mutants will look like something mutated. Now they look like some Fantasy Guys in a Sci-Fi-World

Humans, but tbh its not that I prefer them the most or that I dont like the look of the other factions. Its just that I started playing with humans and I was just stuck with this faction.
Cheers

just got the game installing now and im a big rts guy so i hope this game is like my new fav rts
My preference for the cult started when I saw everyone else playing humans... someone has to test the cults.
I like the healing vortex hero and nova hero abilities best. The global teleport option is great as well.
On the downside, I find that my Infest doesn't do squat against a level 2 human base where it seems that unsupported shock troops can take down most of one of my level 2 bases. Numerous times I have watched the human airstrike ability almost wipe out a newly created full army of mine that moments ago was a full health.
On another note, I may not be using my combos well but I find it very difficult to take down a level an undefended 2 human base even with a full army. If the base has the slightest army support it is all over for me.

Cult. Humans are overused, and tribes meh... I think they need allot of work. Its not that they are not strong, properly used they are one of the strongest races and most imba atm, but visually they are so weak...
I'm almost in the same boat as InsectAngel; I initially went human, but moved over to Cult once I realised how popular humans were.
I haven't tried Tribes much yet. They appeal the least to me, look and style wise.
Humans - I am not very keen on bugs or fireballs-lobbing,tornados-calling er...mutants. Me likes standart warfare ;)
I like all of them but ussualy i play with humans .. hm i dont know maybe becase tha i strart playing missions i choice humans artifacts for revard ))

I like the cult mailny because they are pretty sweet looking critters.. I really would like to see them have different skins for multiplayer, not just bea able to change a few colors on them but also there appearence as well, just like the orange cult in the last location, I would like to look like that cult... Harvesters rule, but the trisacs die too fast, they cant even get in close enough to do anything.. they should eitehr have more armour, a sheild, or more hit points... cant get them in close enough to even do anything..
officers needs to be stronger though... more hit points......
I dont like tribe because they are JEW!!!!..... ie gaurdians.

fear any one at the base, then infest, normaly backed up by 5 shifters, spawn,
4 harvesters and use masters lifeleach power...
or.
fear, infest, 4 arbiters using fear, overlords, master nova, then lifeleach spell, then by this time your infest is almost charged again, infest again.
I do pretty good with this... fear is great and nova, arbiters have a great luck spell damaging many units, it hurts alot... overlords can charge you power realy fast and ill put 4 on power overlord... fear fear fear and more fearing with dps from arbiters focused on one units at a time (typicaly officers) :D
