Settlers of Catan got a nice port from board game to Android: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.e...e=search_result

Has a pretty good tutorial to it which was handy cause I'd never played the board game.

Note, that the same as the board game, this has optional expansions that cost more money. You'll find that's what most of the negative reviews are complaining about. Which is odd because that's no different a pricing model from the board game - except cheaper.

Note that as with Plants v Zombies, it's pretty resource heavy and works best straight after a clean boot. Otherwise it fails to draw some of the elements on the screen.

Any suggestions for turn-based strategy games? (thinking a-la Heroes of Might&Magic/Disciples)

UniWar is good but too short, Age of Conquest did not catch me.

Thanks in forward

My favourite kind of game. :)

Aside from the ones you've named:

Spectral Souls - a tactics rpg. Very expensive though

Xenowar - like Xcom/UFO

Vampire Slayer Squad - apparently like Space Hulk but haven't played that so cannot confirm

Revival 2 - Civilization

Sword Requiem - Fire Emblem (which is the RPG version of Advance Wars)

Everlands HD - no idea how to describe this one. Far more strategic than its cutesy graphics suggest

Battle for Mars - Advance wars ( the interface is annoying which makes it not as good as uniwar imo)

Tactikon - a kind of under-developed advance wars. It's a work in progress. Has potential!

With the introduction of a partly working flash player to the blade (look in ROMS and ROM customization) I have installed a Swf player and tried playing some internet games as such as thing thing arena as swf files.

They play quite slowly, but they obviously arent optimised for mobile devices :)

And naturally you can play the Advance War(s) itself with a GBA emulator. And now that there is a NDS-emulator, you might be able to play the Advance Wars for DS as well.

How well does the Battle for Mars run for you guys? To me it seems to be a bit choppy and not that responsive. Is Blade too slow for that game? I am running stock 2.2.

And now if only there would be re-makes of some awesome turn-based games from N-gage to Android. Check these out:

High Seize (Advance Wars type Pirate game for N-gage)

Pathway to Glory (Jagged Alliance type WW2 game for N-gage)

Is there a N-gage emulator for android?

Here is another promising looking TBSG (turn based strategy game) called Highborn:

Highborn is ARMv7 I believe :(

I'm not into emulators - I don't like virtual D Pads.

Battle for Mars did seem unresponsive when I tried it. I classed that with the annoying interface. It's unlikely to be a performance issue - it's an old game from when phones weren't that powerful and hasn't been updated in ages. There is a third such game that was never as popular as Mars and Uniwar but I can't remember what it's called!

It turns out it's not ARMv7 afterall! I managed to buy it by getting an American friend to send me a gift certificate to my fake US account so I will report shortly on how good or otherwise it is!

Who's old enough to remember the Amiga game Pushover from '92? :D

Dominoes, an Ant, and for some reason... Quavers! (the crisps)

http://www.appbrain....os.dominoeslite

Also, I can't get the aforementioned Highborn to work, it quits after choosing a level to play. But it does seem to produce a decent amount of debug info in a logcat which I've sent the devs so hopefully I'll know why soon!

Pushover was a fantastic game, except I had an Atari ST, cos Amigas were rubbish :)

Reckless racing works fine on my 2.2 rom.

The version from the v880 rom works very well

edit your build.prop on your systempartition (using es-explorer or root explorer) and change manufacturer property from ZTE to HTC and save the file (alternatively you can edit the file in the zip of the rom download and flash it onto your phone using clockworks)

after that the game may ask you for redownload of datafiles

Refraction (discussed earlier in this thread) is Amazons free app of the day. It's my 3rd favourite Android game (after Game Dev and GP Story). Definitely worth getting for anyone that enjoys a challenging puzzle game.

Aww I played the lite version, it is an excellent puzzler, but I'm not in the US so can't get that free app. (Yeah I know there are methods).
