GalCiv2: War Is Over If You Want (To Read) It

And you really do. We've talked about PCG's Tom Francis' new Gal-Civ-2 game-diary in passing before, but since it's now concluded, it definitely deserves another link. His idea was to try and conquer through peaceful methods alone the largest size of GalCiv map. Forty hours or so later, things have changed. Peace Through Tyranny is still peace, right? My personal highlight is the ludicrously devious method to create the fastest moving spaceship known to any alien species. Highly recommended.
