Not sure if these are considered "Nerdy games" but I love the endless series. I feel Amplitude makes some VERY solid 4x games. There is A LOT of story and depth to the universe. Everything has a backstory of some sort. detailed events, A LOT of history. Really well written deep stuff.
Anyway, links (In-universe chronological order)
Dungeon of the Endless (It's not a 4x. It's a top down dungeon crawling sci-fi rouge-like with tower defense elements. Second game they started to make, prequel to the other 2 games)

Endless Legend (A Turn-Based 4x Sci-Fantasy that takes place on the same planet as DotE just a good few hundred years after it. 3rd Game made,)

Endless Space (A Turn-Based 4x Sci-Fi Space empire managemen game. It was the first game the company made. Still supported and really put them on the map. Pretty much take Civ: 5 and mash SIns of a Solar empire together and you have this)
