Technically, it should be 4 ''E'', but that abbreviation is already taken, and [[XtremeKoolLetterz the "X"]] [[XMakesAnythingCool just sounds cooler]].

* ''VideoGame/XCOMUFODefense'' combines FourX base-building and RealTimeWithPause interception missions with turn-based tactical battles. ''Terror from the Deep'' and ''Apocalypse'' follow in this trend (though ''Apocalypse'' modifies it significantly); ''Interceptor'', ''Enforcer'' and the 2K Marin game ''VideoGame/TheBureauXCOMDeclassified'' abandon this. ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' and ''{{VideoGame/XCOM2}}'' return to the tradition.

Added DiffLines:

* The ''VideoGame/RailroadTycoon'' series, also started by Creator/SidMeier, can broadly be characterized as one of these, with some subversions. Exploration is there, after a fashion, since maps are mostly randomized, although there is no FogOfWar in effect. Expansion and exploitation are part-and-parcel of the game, and "extermination" takes the form of "bring every rival company on the map to ruin or bankruptcy".
