If you’ve always had that megalomaniac tendency that you’ve been trying to suppress in a bid to play nice with others, then you know that board games, and later on mobile games may be your only outlet to let loose. The classic board game Risk revealed our deepest wishes to conquer other countries, and now a new Android game may also help you with that dream, virtually at least. Age of Civilizations has one goal and that is to make your country take over the world.
Age of Civilizations is a turn-based strategy game where you are the leader of a country that would like to be the topdog of the entire world. It doesn’t mean though that all other countries are just content to roll over for you. You need to defend your capital city and if you fail to do so in 3 turns, you stand to lose everything to the invaders. It’s not a game where you can just swipe to shoot all your enemies. It takes real-time strategy and a lot of brain flexing to figure out your next move.
Before each round, you give your orders, depending on your Movement Points for that round. The civilizations then execute the orders and at the start of each round, the turn order is randomized. The game has two kinds of maps: Earth, which has 324 provinces and Kepler-22b, which has 404 provinces. Normal view orders include move, recruit, build, disband and annex while with the Diplomacy view moves, you can call for an alliance, a pact, declare peace or war on a civilization. You earn money through the very exciting process of getting income tax, depending on your civilization’s population and what they do for a living.
If you’re looking for an action-packed war game with state-of-the-art 3D graphics, then this is definitely not what you should play. But if you want to exercise your brain and strategize as practice for taking over your boss’ job or another company, then you should buy Age of Civilizations for just $1.89 from the Google Play Store.

I REALLY like this game and I have been playing it for like, 4 months I think. I think the idea of a “global-strike” themed game is really interesting. Its probably the only good Game in the genre thats available on the play store. Although I really need help with one thing… Diplomacy. If I want to create a WWI or WWII themed game, making it a role play experience is really hard. Japan and Italy won’t accept my alliance request if I play as Nazi Germany. PLEASE HELP!
I know many countries just don’t accept your alliance even if it is very helpfull for them.. but is a great game and i like it.
