I used reverse engineering to make Scotland, French Feudal Knights, and French Chivalric Knights in MTW. Heck, the entirety of KekvitMod was built simply because I looked at what was available to me (Gnome editor) and looking at other peoples' mods, and then seeing what fixes I could make. Because of my reverse engineering, I was one of the first people to create an entirely new unit in MTW from scratch that worked. After that, I just let other, more talented, modders take up the mantle. And that was my little contribution to Total War history.
Currently, I reverse engineer Fallout: New Vegas mods to learn scripting and the finer details of the GECK. It's easier for me to learn via reverse engineering than having to read through a convoluted tutorial. It's how I was able to make A Better Trap Awareness and other mods.
