If you're okay with much older titles, Master of Orion 2 has been my go-to 4X for 30 years. It holds up really well.
If you want something a little newer and absolutely brilliant, and you don't mind sacrificing some 4X for some RPG, you could try Starsector: https://fractalsoftworks.com
Neither of these are particularly similar to the Total War games, though, in case that's a deal breaker.
@voracitude Thanks, anything revolving around a dark fantasy setting?
