Star Ruler 1 2 These Space 4X games are different enough from one another that they both warrant mentioning.

I was wondering if you guys have a recommendations for good strategy games like Civ.

I was thinking of getting Hearts of Iron IV or one of the Paradox grand strategy games, although Ive heard the learning curve can be steep.

I was also thinking of getting Civ 6, but I think Ill wait for a sale.

They have endless space, and its sequel on the way, thats more futuristic and focuses on a galaxy instead of a planet I endless legend.

They also have which is totally worth it btw and adds much more, but the base game itself is fantastic (both of them).

If only performance didnt tank in late game due to typical old-Unity-optimisation.

EDIT: People downvoting me, have you actually played the game for 230 turns It tanks to 45FPS on a 4690K GTX770 while hitting only 70 usage on both.

Endless legend is a bit more complex at the first try, but its definitely more fun than Civ 5.

There are a bunch of over 4x games that would be worth checking out first.

By then there will be a cheap on-sale edition with all the DLC, carefully patched to fix all bugs and streamline gameplay, and it will probably work really great on a mid-range PC.

It seems like a nice enhancement of Civ V, but I see no reason to throw my money at something thats still cooking, especially when theres Civ V right here, as well as a hundred other great 4X games.

I break my rule on not buying games before theyre on sale for sid Meyer games, and it feels an insane amount more complete than civ 5 did on launch.

Its civ 5 with enough fundamental changes that it couldnt really be an expansion level 1 27 points 3 years ago Age of Wonders III Fantastic fantasy 4x game with many races, classes, and great combat (unlike Civ 5, or any Civ for that matter lol) Endless Legend Another fantastic 4x game, this one more of a Scififantasy.

Very interesting worldlore, since it shares a universe with the other Endless games.

Distant Worlds: Universe One of the deepest, most complex 4X games around, with one of the biggest playable galaxy maps.

Has a pretty good UI in my opinion, and an interesting universe.

Has a lot of very useful automation that you can customize or turn off to help the experience.
