Civ 4 still feels like the overall best 4x I own. Granted, nowadays if I'm playing Civ I'm playing Civ 6. Honorable mentions: Endless Legend - fantastic aesthetic and visual design. If battles were more like Humankind this would easily be my top pick X4 Foundations (I'd call this 4x-adjacent) - really cool to experience a first-person "4x" game.

2014年6月21日 · The past several 4x games that I've picked up (Fallen Enchantress, Warlock, Endless Space) have all seemed really easy. In general, wide beats tall for 4x games.

Civ4 - thanks to PitBoss. PitBoss is a self-hosted server for MP games in Civ4. I used to play with friends with 24h turn timer for many years.
