I'm sure it already exists, but I've already resurrected two threads from the depths of hell; I don't want to make it a habit.
So, what is everyone's preferred alignment? Describe your play style, and be detailed!
For me, it depends on my creature.
- With the tiger, I can go either way.
- With the lion, I have to be good, though I am tempted to go evil with him just once.
- Without a graphics card that can even so much as display fur, I can't stand the look of the wolf
- I used to adore the cow, but then I sent him into a fight, after spending an hour getting his fitness and muscle to 100%, and making sure he was rested and fed. The cow is a terrible creature combatant. Great for setting fire to villages and eating children, though.
- I replaced the ape with the awesomely grotesque zombie ape, so I play evil with him.
As a good player, I generally buy up all of the pretty tribute items, and save tribute by not buying military items, offensive miracles, etc. I generally build sprawling townships, so I make sure to balance my town layout with creature accessibility. I try to overlap "fun" bubbles and separate industry from residency. I do max out my creature's combat and keep him fit, though, because I do need some defense without any soldiers, after all. I usually just have him help "around the house" though. Sometimes I buy the Siren epic, but hardly ever use it.

As an evil player, I buy hovels, houses, and skyscrapers for housing, and pack everything in as tightly as possible, making sure to keep my military and industrial buildings as close to my housing as possible. I plan for not having my creature able to move around in the city proper by building in such a way that he at least has access to the outskirts from all angles.
Since I don't plan on winning by impressiveness, I focus a lot on initial town layout, because despite the fact that you've got hovel-slums, at least one town will be impressed enough to join you. I start by cramming hovels and houses together around the Town Centre (I remake the circle around it so that it's more circular and less amoeba-like). From there, I build a nursery or two, and pack my skyscrapers nearby, usually stacking them low so that I can put more side-by-side. I leave enough room for Torture Pits, military, and industry bubbles to overlap the residency.
Sometimes my layout gives me enough bonus to attract one or two settlements or towns. If that's the case, I usually reject them and watch them die and/or feed them to my creature, or let my creature kill them outright. If I'm building an epic, though (usually earthquake, but sometimes volcano if I'm feeling frisky), I'll accept them and put them in prisons until my epic is done, then I force them to worship at the epic until their dying days.
I always keep my creature physically fit when I'm evil, because I use him as a siege weapon. When I take over a town through military might, I make sure that the villagers have the very basics, then I stack skyscrapers near a nursery and get them breeding; because I then use them as "slave labour" for my epics, or I use their children for mana.
