What is the best God card in Julius Caesar (Columbia Games)?

Seven gods on seven cards. A few can swing a whole campaign, others only pay off in the right corner of the map.

1. 1
   Apollo

   Copies the card your opponent played last turn, event cards included, exactly as they played it.
2. 2
   Jupiter

   Makes one enemy block next to a friendly city defect to your side, one step weaker; leaders and navis never switch.
3. 3
   Mars

   A surprise attack: every attacking block in one battle fires before any defender in the first combat round.
4. 4
   Mercury

   Lets the blocks of one group move one extra city, in any direction you like.
5. 5
   Neptune

   The naval Mars: your ships fire first in a sea battle or a shore attack.
6. 6
   Pluto

   Raises the road limits for one group move, so a far bigger army can pour into a single battle.
7. 7
   Vulcan

   Knocks one step off every block in a chosen city, and anything already at strength one, leaders included, is gone.
