This is one of the best strategy games you can get for mobile. The graphics are simple, but the game's mechanics allow for infinite variations of strategy. The biggest part of this game is the diplomacy aspect, which is expertly executed. You have a chat button to talk to other players, and this is how you make alliances. However, there is no in-game mechanic keeping you from breaking whatever agreement you made. You must trust your allies, or betray them to win. Excellent game!

By far the best strategy game I've ever played. A wonderful blend of strategy, critical thinking, and diplomacy. The perfect game for the working man - the games play at a speed which allows for a busy life and doesn't need to be constantly checked (unless you're a maniac like me and you're running 5 games at a time). The latest update made everything very smooth and there's so many options when it comes to strategizing a win.

Best strategy game for mobile I've ever played. Simple, easy-to-understand mechanics produce countless tactical options. That's not even including the game's emphasis on diplomacy. This is a real strategy game, nothing contrived or pointless about it, it hits straight at the heart of what serious strategy players are looking for in a game. Further expansion is unneccessary for this well thought out game, but it would only improve as long as what it already is stays intact.
