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?
Civ 3 works well with a warmonger style

Isn’t that the point of the Ghandi playthrough?

CIV 5 is better than CIV 6. You can be a war monger but the effects are less than 6.
For pure carnage, CIV 4 Beyond The Sword.
Not 4x but close
Total War: Warhammer III
Hearts of Iron IV. It’s a grand strategy but War is the whole point.
The game “Humankind” plays very similar to civ 6, might be better to compare it to being inbetween civ 6 and 7. But it has a much more tactical combat system.
I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.
It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.
I thought I would get a few minutes in before a meeting and I missed it completely. Gladius definitely scratches the itch!
Go and warmonger your blood thirsty heart out. Remember, the only good xenos is a dead xenos.
Try Stellaris. It’s similar gameplay, but it’s realtime and the space battles you can get yourself into can be truly epic.
As someone who just spent the last 30 years in a huge galaxy spanning war to try and seize Terminal Egress from a 7 strong federation and then had a 10x Unbidden appear in Fen Habbanis that produced 85% of my alloys crippling my ability to fight them off for 20 years. I second this recommendation.
Total war is fantastic and fits the bill.
There was an old computer game Warlords. It was turned based and you can even play it online nowadays.
