As someone that loves Twilight Imperium, 4x games, war games, and territory control games, how does Root compare?

My group loves war games and the scale of Twilight Imperium, especially the asymmetrical nature of Twilight Imperium. We also love the aspect of TI of throwing armies at each and having different types of units.

Root looks like it scratches a lot of those itches but I’m curious what yall think? Any games I should also look into?
