HIVE.

I have played all the original factions, and most of the crossfire ones. I hate playing the hive and spartans, because I am too economic base. I play Morgans and Angels a lot, use money to use probe teams.

University mostly.

But I also sometimes play Morgan, peackeepers, gaians

and sometimes hive. Their economy sucks which hurts their research. but I love their industry.

I'm not sure if I have ever played the spartans or beleivers.

but I won't be playing University anytime soon. They are too much of a crutch. I need to challenge myself with factions that don't have as good of research. I mainly like the university so the ai doesn't play them. I hate it when the ai has some super advanced units that I can't take down.

I like to play the University, the Gaians, the Pirates, the Hive and the Peacekeepers. In theory I'd enjoy the Consciousness too, but their color just bugs the hell out of me.

Morgan at the moment. I am testing out energy parks, so he is the natural choice.

I like to use them all, even the ones I'm 110% ideologically opposed to. But the Spartans, Peacekeepers and the University are the ones I prefer to use the most.

Of course, I don't have the expansion, but the Consciousness and the Angels sound good as well.

	Suffering from ads?

I regularly switch between Uni, Drones, Gaians. I occasionally play Morgan, Peacekeepers, Cyborgs, Hive. I have had half-tries with Spartans and Pirates. Didn't play the rest.

I only play the university. Never tried anyone else because I'm too serious about ethics.

I have played everyone, but prefer the Hive or Gaians.

The University is overpowered, IMO, and the others are either dull or don't fit my worldview

Uni, Morgan, CyCon... I haven't played others in PBEM's yet, but I'd like to try PK's, Drones, and Gaians.

I play everybody - I try to rotate through them. Right now I'm focusing on SMAX factions since I haven't played with them much (recently bought the expansion, that's why.

I've been playing all of them lately. My favorite is probably Peacekeepers, although lately I'm beginning to enjoy Morgan also.

Arise, for I am but a man.
I fear I may disappoint: I do not play multi, if that is wherein you seek guidance.
In my solo games, I role-play as well as I know how, using what we've been given in each leader's official background and what might be deduced from their quotations. So much of what I do is "coloring outside the lines" of the more "popular" methods and "standard" strategies, which is why I generally comment only on the "nuts and bolts" of the game; mainly alpha(x).txt and faction.txts.
As for the point at hand, two important things about the Believers: Probe and Cash. Why does AI-Miriam often want The Merchant Exchange? and always at New Jerusalem? Money for subverting enemy units: Get out there and make converts: or , whatever it takes!
Social Engineering: Fundamentalist Green Power Eudaimonic.

that's real serious

Like I said above, I play the peaceful factions. The only non-peaceful faction I have played is the hive (although they can be played peacefully). The spartans and believers just aren't me.

But ethically, how are the peacekeepers that different from the University?
