5X? I've heard of 4X games and played MOO2, etc. But what's 5X?

title.

There were so many possibilities, but we finally settled on:
eXplore, eXploit, eXpand, eXterminate and eXsanguinate!

I was more into eXfoliate, but whatever.

Just so long as no one eXpectorates.

:D yea, you can get your Tyrant card pulled for too much eXpectorating.

Just means these guys are pretty good at eXaggerating.

Ok I was wondering if there was some new official game type that I was unaware of.

We set out early on to make a twist on the 4x genre, so just straight up calling it 4x seemed disingenuous. We laughed about maybe 2x for awhile, but there were too many other x's obvious in the game. And then along came eXsanguinate - it seemed to fit so well with our Blood Fever explore and the theme of the game in general, it was a no brainer.

I find punny threads objectionable, so I will eXonerate myself by not participating in such childish antics...

Still a fan of eXpedite, but it doesnt sound cool enough

[Jxt09]

I guess it's like when "Rogue-like" morphed into "Rogue-lite"

[Sheap]

eXpedite is actually the best since the game is built to play fast compared to others in the genre!

And don't eXclude eXcavate. Those crystals don't dig themselves up
