Only very debatably a 4X, but AI Wars takes a great approach by having the computer not even remotely be playing the same game as the player. Always struck me as Gordion knot solution that should be picked up more.
AI War & AI War 2 are great. They're the only video game 4x I've really gotten into, and they're pretty good games as long as your objective isn't to win or understand anything at all without a lot of effort.

I think I see why you generally don't like 4X games.
I like most of the board game 4X I've played, but those have the backdrop of interacting with other people and creating a shared narrative.

I left out that they're the only 4X video games I've played outside of some 90s stuff. I always plan on buying the latest civ when the price drops and never get around to it. I don't mind the not winning part. In a way it gives the game more longevity and brings the focus to the journey.
