Sins of a Solar Empire: Ultimate Balance Mod
After making TEC and Vasari guides for the vanilla sins, I was on my route to making the advent guide. However at some point I have realized, that instead of making a guide around unsatisfying balance I could make a *balance* mod, which would introduce not only equally balanced races, but also asymmetric balance. The latter one was a real challenge.
