I'm wondering whether we might get another real time 4x strategy game, published by Stardock, in the future?
I think that Stellaris needs some competition and feel Stardock would do an excellent job at giving Paradox a run for their money 
Stardock has announced in the past that it is not planning to step on ironclad toes. Brad has said that real time is sins of a solar empire is real time. While it concentrates on turn based strategy with galactic civilizations.
They did release Ashes of the Singularity, which is a large scale rts, with special dreadnoughts that level up. (I think one of the stand out features of Sins is the customizable cap ships.) I guess a big part of it is what counts as a "4X rts"? If it's any large scale rts then you've got the Total Annihilation lineage, including the beloved Supreme Commander. Paradox does make real time games that focus on empire building, but they're markedly different from what I've heard; you don't control individual units in battle, instead grouping them into a fleet, smashing them into an enemy fleet, then dice roll and modifiers are applied and a few minutes later it says "We've had a decisive victory, and three carriers were damaged." You may like them if you want more empire building and politics, but they aren't for in depth battles.
