I really enjoyed writing a rather ambitious mod for GalCiv2. I was careful to make sure that the technologies became exponentially more expensive as one progressed, and unlocked a lot of the hidden weapons. I made sure that tech trees played nicely with Viewer. I cut several dozen icons from pictures of all sorts of crap on the web, so I could have something to use for new improvements.

Profiting by suborning the free will of another is pretty freaking evil. No won
