XL - An Unexpected MegaModpack (35 mods)

Description
After many hours and many attempts, it seem that this mix of mods actually works without any gamebreaking bugs, events, references or tech paths. All of these can and will occur if they are placed in the wrong order, except "Refreshed" mods for music, sounds and visuals, plus, I guess, others that fit the same category.

This will conclude in a variant of XL with the following:
-More challenging colonization with fewer options
-No hangar bays or fighters (to prevent tens of thousands of fighers slowing down the mid to late game)
-Extra huge capital ships that cost a fortune
-Lots of new luxury resources, with new (optional) background colors that matches the bonuses for all of them
-Two new races for independents
-(Optional) New troop and ship symbols, sounds, music, flags, names, background, images for resources, races, events and components

IMPORTANT: The order of the 5 last mods is mandatory, and the only ones that changes the gameplay, so the others are optional and can be removed or added to.
