I did the non-beta questions.

Taken. I wish surveymonkey didn't have that lame 100 participant limit for the free version, because it is by far the best survey creator I have found.

Bah, that is because it is a "forced rank" question and only allows one of each available response. I would have expected the N/A option to be exempt from the rule. - you done good tho!

No idea. I'm just speaking from my experience with my Top Games of the Decade survey. The truely free sites were horrible. The ones that were decent had to be paid for to get all the features. Obviously the paid-for ones can afford to be better, but I'm not going to pay $100 for one survey a year, if even that.

Completed  

yeah, I to was surprised at the length.  I guess the forums have settled down on new ideas?

So when do we see the results?

And when I checked this morning I only had 60 participants. Typically I would have hit the threshold by now, so maybe this was a particularly shitty survey.

The survey, through no fault of your own, would not allow me to choose N/A for more than of of the games selestion question

very interesting results.

Well, 2nd place (Tactical Battles) is good....

Just read your survey and results.  What I think about the question's..(not in beta atm so will confine answers to questions 3, 4, and 5 of the survey)

#3-For me its all about Master of Magic.  I do think all the other games listed are fantastic in many ways, however, MoM takes precedence by a wide margin for me as the main inspiration.  Like others have stated in other forum pages if the AI and multiplayer for MoM had been better I might never have played another tbs game ever.  Hotseat MoM was just a tad too slow with getting up, walking back and forth, waiting for turn, eating, sleeping..my turn!!  Also why I kinda like the idea of the simultaneous turns..

#4-For me this sounds like a trick question.  What intrigues the most?  Why I say tricky is because I think I would take for granted that the magic system, tac combat, etc are all kinda expected whereas the Dynasty system is not something most pc games have.   I know I played at least one good old game with Dynasty type idea; just can't remember what it was.  Probably a DOS game..

#5-Magic system for the win!!(It is also crucial for a fantasy based game IMHO)

As a side note I am extremely pleased with the amount of dedication and interest by the overall community as it relates to Elemental:War of Magic.
