Some kind soul made an open source Civilization V clone

Mostly gameplay complete, the UI and graphics are very ~developer art~ but they're functional. Supports modding and most interestingly, there's an Android port. It runs in landscape by default, but it has an (seemingly WIP) portrait mode that allows for one handed play. This is what I have always wanted out of a Civ game on my phone, the ability to pull my phone from my pocket play a few turns and slip it back all with one hand. No compromises to game rules, no GaaS, lootbox, microtransaction bullshit, just a full fledged Civ game that I can play casually.

It's pretty cool, it even has the Gods & Kings ruleset.

However, I can see that being incredibly useful for PBEM MP games. I'm guessing it doesn't support multilayer though?

It does, though only with other Unciv players. The client isn't network compatible with the original game since it's a remake of the ruleset on an entirely different engine, rather than full blown reimplementation/reverse engineering.

It's weird that people still don't get that being mad about other people being mad is just as pathetic, if not more so. At least if it's about as something as low stakes as this.

Anyway if Firaxis aren't scratching that itch, good news, they're not the only entity creating Civ games.

Good for them, though when choosing something to watch or play I tend prioritize what I find fun as opposed to what other people purchased.

I've continued to play UnCiv on my phone and I think it's damaging me. What if one more turn, but it's literally every moment of your waking life.
