Can anyone recommend a really good strategy game for iPad?

I don't often play games but I like the idea of playing a strategy game if it is well designed and has a historical or political basis. I've enjoyed playing Civilization and Sim City before, although I never played even those a great deal.

Can anyone tell me the best such game to play on the iPad so I can avoid wasting time on any rubbish games? Are iPad games up to scratch compared to games made for PCs and consoles and so on?

I was intrigued by one of the adverts on this site for an "adults only" game with a busty girl. (Do others get that adverts?) But that was a dead and when I followed the link, and it didn't look like a strategy game as such anyway.

Chess works for me...

By the way, I was hooked on Sim City for several years... Had to quit cold turkey...

It's a great game.

Chess on the other hand is BORING!

What vile blasphemy is this?

I liked SimCity and SC2K. After that, it just got too complex - too many things to manage.

After grabbing the Civ 5 demo to check it out, I can now say I have played all 5 generations of Civ.

From personal experience, if you're used to PC strategy games, just about any mobile game is a big disappointment.

Bummer. Not worth bothering on iPad then?

You might try to see if you could get DOSBox working on an iPad. Then you could play the original Civilization.

You have to jailbreak, though.

Right. Because liking computer games and liking the outdoors are mutually exclusive things.

I do not have IPAD but try literati at the yahoo games? It is like playing scrabble, it might not be strategy game to you.
