So I got really into CIV 6 recently. And of course I built a huge army and started steam rolling everyone around me and made the ENTIRE WORLD furious, which apparently isnt the point of the game.
So is there a similar 4x game where I can be a warmonger and not be shunned?
You need none. They release free content together with every DLC too. Also you can get the subscription for a month and cancel immediately if you want to try all of them.
