Haida Gwaii is excellent. It's always been one of my favorite mods, not (sorry) so much because of the features the mod has, but because it does, very clearly and nicely, fit a niche that needed to be filled.

For me, growing up the way I did in Pennsylvania, with my dad who is very much into archaeology, mythology, and genaeology, and having access to a couple of really good historical libraries, I really was able to get a sense of a hidden history and this enormous sprituality that seems to run through the land itself.

The neat thing about Dominions is that the game itself is telling it's own stories: it's not confined to just the players and what we happen to decide to do in a certain game. It's got all these influences, all these backgrounds and voices, and Native American elements deserve to be represented. The game feels incomplete without a nation like Haida Gwaii.

It's a very good mod, on it's own merits. The artwork is good, the execution is very nice, and it's an unusual, creative choice for a subject, but there are so many extremely high-end mods to choose from that it's the emotional response I get from it that carries the most weight for me.
