Why not?
First turn-based game I really got into was the X-COM series. Then the friend who introduced me to that, showed me the first MOO but MOO2 was about to hit the shelves so I waited for that instead, and still love it, although the Last part of the game gets boring. 18 doomstars taking out the max number of enemy units (all but a dozen were doomstars and the rest titans) allowed in the combat screen in 1 turn with no return fire gets boring.
Again my friend comes to the rescue by introducing me to SEIV over the holiday. (He was a big Starfire nut and loved seeing something so close to it.)
And now MOO3 is on it's way (checked the site, battles will be real-time with the game itself is turn-based for whoever it was that asked).
There goes my freetime....
By the way, this is the first reference to 4x games, what does 4x stand for?
