When the op says "IF YOU'RE HERE LOOKING FOR SIMCITY, FINAL FANTASY TACTICS, OR CIV CLONES, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST KILL YOURSELF" does it mean "you should kill yourself because the ports are extremely bad and you're a moron if you buy them" or "you should kill yourself for even asking if you should buy them because they're great and the answer is yes and here are the links"?
It means there are no real ports of these games, just freemium IAP-riddled time-limited energy-based garbage cesspits made by EA. Well, okay, that's for Sim City. These are the games that everyone wants so people would constantly show up and their first post in the thread would be "HEY GUYS IS THERE ANY GOOD SIM CITY GAME FOR MY ANDROIDS PHONE?" and because we got bored of saying no and being depressed about that fact it got put in the OP.

But... there is a FFT:WotL port that runs pretty well (barring the occasional crash but if you're prudent about saving it's not a huge deal) and has decent touch controls.

So one of those three items can now be struck out! :D

It's a joke referencing the fact that the English iOS port had been out for years while the Android version was MIA with no word from Squeenix at the time the OP was written.

I just meant that if you were looking for clones, you're poo poo out of luck.

The FF:T port is a port of the PSP version and is apparently solid enough.

The only official Civ game is Civilization Revolution 2, which is just a mobile reskin of the DS version from a few years back. People seemed to have a mostly negative reaction to it.

The only official Simcity game is a lovely EA click-and-wait cash-grab, but TheoTown is a reasonable free alternative that does a decent job of mimicking Simcity 2000. Free with ads, but not really a finished, polished product.

If you've previously bought Battlestation Harbinger then the current beta test of their new content is pretty rad.

Excellent. I'd love to be able to put some Donuts into my springfield or grab one of the packs that always goes up for Future Fight or Star Wars.

Speaking of Star Wars, i keep getting bombarded with ads for Commander. I played it on iOS but I hated the gently caress out of the game because you'd build super powerful unites but because of the dumb as poo poo targeting AI they'd die because they'd walk across the map to shoot a turret while the enemy troops would kill them. Did they fix that?

I have a fuckton of characters, almost all the ones I want, and I haven't spent a dime.

I got a chance to check out Magic Puzzle Quest today. Its a match game, but you have a planeswalker you control. The matching gives you mana which you use to cast spells or use planeswalker abilities. You can collect cards, and have a deck you play with. Though smartly, mana is mana, no matter what matches you make. They'll just have one planeswalker for each colour ( I assume the Origin's ones, Nyssa, Jace, Chandra, Lilana, and Gideon) but they'll be adding more. Decks will obviously be a lot smaller, just around 10 cards.

Gets released next week and looks different enough from Marvel, guys who made it also worked on MPQ.

I think the usual advice for holding back and running groups as far as you can is actually to hold back at the 400 boss, so no, if you've already unlocked the 500 boss you may as well just keep advancing

Even for a match 3 game, that does not make for a ringing endorsement.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
So for Seven Knights, which formation should you be maxing first? I've been primarily using Offense, but I saw a lot of Castle Raid and farming strategies talking about using Defense, so I've got both around level 15-18 right now.

So in Seven Knights is there a way to get Elements reliably besides the Daily Dungeon? As that definitely sucks if not. I forgot that level 30+5 x2 is a random unit one star level higher, not the same, but I lucked out and got the Velika with dual AE attacks. So I've got her and Dark Yuri for 4* mages now which is nice. Also is there a goon guild or thread yet?

World 8 drops 3* from Mimic drops (rare mob that looks like a chest) World 7 mimics give you 2* elements (rank them up by using 2)

4 days of Castle raid points get you 1 element as well or you can spend more for option of selecting what you get etc.

Defensive is pretty much the one you use 99% of the content. Offense you use in harder PvE content sometimes.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a controller to play android games with? I have a nexus 6p with the fancy new type of usb if that matters, and would want something like an x box 360 controller. Seen a few online but it's hard to tell if they are any good or not.

Nope, just put it in search mode and couple it with your device via Bluetooth. Make sure you also download something like Bluetooth Autoconnect so you can use it for more than a minute.

Wait, this actually works now? For all phones, or just certain ones? I was under the impression that my Lollipop-running Nexus 4 had zero ability to connect to controllers via bluetooth unless I rooted it, which I'm not doing.

I will note that for whatever reason, the DS4 I bought back when the PS4 came out doesn't like to connect to non-PS4 things via bluetooth, but the one that came with my PS4 a year after that works fine.

Ah, I actually think, for whatever stupid reason, the Nexus 7's bluetooth and the Nexus 4's bluetooth are handled differently. I've been wanting to use my PS3 dualshock for my phone for a while now, without rooting, and so far, no luck. I'll check again, though.

It looks like most of the related titles are Vietnamese (I think??), which would actually make a lot of sense as a test market as well because they still have a huge Age of Empires II community (including active esports events, of all things). Just inexplicably really popular there.
