I spent a ton of time on Glest growing up. The fact that it could be modded with simple XML files made it really accessible and was a gateway for me to get into programming. So even if seems a bit dated today Glest will always be special to me.

Same! It ran on even slow machines and Tech vs Magic was very well executed. The magic workers themselves being able to transition to become warrior mages was mechanically really interesting, as you could forego your whole economy to become a big army. There was some real thought put into the game.
