Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gladiator Imperium at 5.0 against Civilization Wars's 4.5. Gladiator Imperium also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Civilization Wars's advantage is ratings volume (257 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
