Yah, there doesn't semm to be that much in the way of good 4X games
these days.  I haven't tried any of the games you mentioned, only Age
of Wonders IIIs sounds worth buying.  The others haven't managed to grab
my interest.  Beyond Earth doesn't sound like its different enough from
Civilization V to be worth it.  I never really liked Galactic Civilization
II, the AI was too much of a pushover.  Anno 2070 is just too expensive.

These days I mainly play other kinds of strategy games.  Have you tried
any Paradox's grand strategy games?  Crusader Kings 2 is the biggest DLC
whore there is, but the base game alone is pretty deep.  In a different
direction there's the Total War series, you can pick up one the better
ones, Medieval II: Total War for $1 as part of the current Humble Weekly
Bundle. (Only about 44 hours left on that though.)
