When it comes to 4X, I'm all about exploring, expanding, and exploiting. I really liked how Megastructures gave me new ways to do so.
With the recent update, you've taken a lot of flexibility/choice away from me. I find the limited nexus augs to be very annoying and, quite frankly, haven't played since they were introduced. It's enough of a sore spot for me that it may end my GalCiv IV journey (which of course means no more $$ from me for you).
I run a custom Civ, and there doesn't even seem to be a way for me to choose the augs to which my Civ has access. Was that an oversight or purposeful? I'm hoping oversight and it gets corrected soon, since the whole purpose of creating a custom civ is to... well... customize stuff to better suit your playstyle.
As an aside, are those limitations moddable? I'm not a modder, but if there's a game file that I can edit to get the flexibility that I want, I'll figure it out!
