Yes, I voted for Sylvan a long time ago. Indeed, it has a beautiful landscape, a pleasant atmosphere, and sunshine... But still, I like the Academy city more now (as well as the race itself). It also has pleasant music, and I really enjoy "soaring in the skies," and the buildings are nice. And there's another city that I really like - Haven. My favorite melody, a soulful connection to the architecture... Perhaps, I'll rank them like this:
1st place - Academy
2nd place - Sylvan
3rd place - Haven
4th place - hmm, probably Dungeon
5th place - the dwarven city
6th place - the orcish city
7th - the necropolis
8th - the harsh demonic tower.
Although, I suppose there's something that attracts me in each city. But I feel most comfortable in the Academy.
