None. They are all shit.
My only reason for not including V is that I cannot stand its UI. Otherwise it would be the best in the series. But the UI prevents me enjoying it. Similar to how MoO3's UI ruined it as well.obvious answer is space empires iv. still, V is like 4 just with more things so i voted V
Ascendancy is a great space 4X game

Completely brainded AI that does nothing entire game, tho.
Right, you need to play it with the aggressive AI patch.
It was great but alas, have been released in an era of no patches. AI posed no threat but it was perfect toroleplay Space Feudalism. But it was not a 4x. It was Colonization+.Emperor Of The Fading Suns = Probably the most complex TB 4X title there is, Multiple planets in a Civilisation style map with fleet management on top of that.
It grieves me to say but Stellaris. ES2 is not that exciting and you play the same way once you know the build orders. Stellaris is THE 4x now, with all its problems and shitty developement cycles it expands in the right direction. Just like CK2 now it the most thorough medieval strategy\sim. Stellaris moves in the same way - with all this degenerate DLC policy of Paradox it grows and becomes better and better, even while being broken after each major patch

Also fleet management was super-primitive and if you used Universal Storehouse(and everyone did), then once you reached singularities you can assemble a fleet large enough to beat off The Church and conquer Stigmata.
yep. some great games just didnt aged well..It's sad to look at that list and see so many games like Emperor of the Fading Suns, Birth of the Federation, Ascendancy, that would have been classics if they had just spent another 6-12 months getting them balanced and making the AI work adequately.
crap i remember playing tons of tropical mod. loved MOO3. how does is handle win 10 nowdaysMaster of Orion III (Tropical mod), SEIV and Stellaris, comfortably.
