While the games aren't necessarily slow-paced, they all have the ability to pause the game and issue orders. If you're not up for a click-fest, you can play the entire game by pausing every 3 seconds if you want. As you get more comfortable, you can use it less.
On top of that, they're among the most deep and inventive RTS games out there.

Don't touch GalCiv. The ship design is pointless, the combat is a boring statgrind, the economy is beyond stupid (The only real economy that works in the game is mass trade), etc etc Even Free Orion has a cooler techtree.
Alpha Centauri on the other hand, that works out quite well.
Also in b4 Sins of A Solar Empire, those modders really need to pick up the pace.
Thrasher said:It's my first, and I'm quite hating the gameplay. It seems to be about how well you know the multitude of keyboard shortcuts, and how fast you can micromanage lots of details using the shortcuts. Very little about strategy, and tactics are impossible until you master speedy micromanagement.

Why doesn't anyone recommend Master of Orion 2?
It's the best space 4x game ever.

Well its old as fuck.
Are you joking? Warcraft 3 is an easy game. There is exactly one mission that should ever give anyone any trouble
