Anything from Stardock, be it Sins of a solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations, Elemental or Ashes of Singularity.
Some quick trivia:
- These guys have been around since 1991 and started as a game developer for OS/2, a competitor to the early windows versions (Win 3.x to Windows 2000) and made some programs on the side as the games alone didn't bring enough money, especially in between releases.
- Galactic Civilizations II: The dark avatar is the highest-ranking expansion pack on GameRankings, standing at a whooping 92.61%. Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of Arnor isn't far behind with 92.33%.
- Ever used Gamestop Impulse, Gamestops online game store? It started out as Stardock Impulse until Gamestop bought that one (Stardock was under heavy financial pressure due to Elemental: War on Magic failing hard) and retooled it. Was my go-to online store until that point btw, where I switched to GOG as my main store.
Until a short time ago, I would have said Obsidian or InXile Studios, but Microsoft bought them, so they're not independent anymore...
