How Grand Strategy Games Change Your View Of World Leaders

Unlike strategy games that put players in command of armies, players call most (if not all) grand strategy games 4X games. These games allow them to: Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate. These terms also describe the majority of the features grand strategy games offer, which often makes players consider them as real-world leadership games. Thanks to titles like Civilization, Total War, and even Europa Universalis, players can put themselves in the shoes of world leaders today.
