So I got really into CIV 6 recently. And of course I built a huge army and started steam rolling everyone around me and made the ENTIRE WORLD furious, which apparently isnt the point of the game.

So is there a similar 4x game where I can be a warmonger and not be shunned?

Stellaris Looks like a good call! But theres a million DLCs and the whole thing costs over £200 and I dont know which ones I need

You need none. They release free content together with every DLC too. Also you can get the subscription for a month and cancel immediately if you want to try all of them.

Start with the base game and take it from there. You don't "need" any DLC

2 expansions, 6 Frontier Pass Packs, 6 leader packs, scenario DLCs, leader DLCs. There's a lot more than just Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall.
