4X are empire management games at their heart, and space 4X is no exception. Efficient colony and resource management is the foundation of a winning strategy, but designing such systems to be fun while still allowing the player more than one obvious route towards victory has been a difficult challenge for games designers.

So what does it mean to play "Tall" or "Wide" in a 4X game? These concepts aim to tackle a specific issue within 4X gaming, but why are they important?

In this episode, those questions will be answered, and then we take a look at how Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova is designed to allow both playstyles to be viable and fun as strategies towards achieving galactic domination!
