  It’s a specific type of strategy game in which you: eXplore your surroundings, eXploit the natural resources, eXpand your empire, and eXterminate any competition. Think like the CIV games.

  @athatet gave a great summary, and the Civ games are the biggest mainstream example of 4X games. there are many sub-genres and lots of games that use it as a foundation but extend it in various ways, and Folk Emerging does that too by centering around nomadic gameplay and complex ecosystems

    so I’m currently playing Foundation, I played Civilization a bunch and Civ2 a bit but mostly avoided that kind of game in favor of 3rd Person Shooters and like.

    I will give your demo a go soon
