There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.
Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!
It's still a ton of fun to play, and it's really low stress for a 4x game. Plenty of time to plan and strategize. They had re-released the original as an iphone game about a decade ago, but it wasn't the same.
