Excuse me, but could you please elaborate on what exactly is meant by the term "4X SLG game"? I'm curious to know what the acronym "4X" stands for in this context, and how it relates to the genre of Strategy Life-simulation Games, which I understand to be what "SLG" represents. Is it a specific type of gameplay mechanic or a particular style of strategy game that incorporates certain elements? I'd appreciate any clarification you can provide.
