It's been a long time since I last played one of those, BUT as far as I can remember, those games aren't very heavy on the pc. I for instance run heavy games such as Far Cry 4 and Crysis 3 and even Rise of Tomb Raider Anniversary without a problem on 4 cores only(I have a 6-core FX 6300) and no OC at all.
I've even turned the cpu voltage down by a couple notches using AMD Overdrive and the pc still runs all those games normally.
So I don't think running a turn based game will be a problem on 4 cores.

Games such as strategy, sims, and mmo tend to be largely single threaded and cpu limited.
Processing time per turn is reduced when the single thread performance is increased.
I play a lot of civ 2,4, and 5.
I keep a task manager open on a side monitor.
My observation is that I see about 30% busy on each of my 4 cores. That is a I5-7600K@4.9.
Yes, it does take a long time per turn on a big map with lots of elements.
