If you want something Civ 5-like on mobile, check out Unciv. Its an open source and using Civ 5 as a template. https://yairm210.itch.io/unciv
- Isn't it based on CIV4?
  
  I played both so maybe I'm confusing the rulesets but I thought it was Civ V. Totally possible I am wrong though.
  
  It's also possible I'm wrong, I never played the games before CIV6 (or not enough to learn them), but on Fdroid it's described as an "Open source 4X civilization-building game" which I assumed means it's a CIV4 clone.
  Either way, it's a good game - one of the best open source mobile games for sure.
  
  "4X" is the genre. I'm going to give it a try!
  
  I had no idea, thanks!
  For other unenlightened lemmings:
  4X is apparently an abbreviation of "Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate"
