Best empire building game on iOS/Android?

[hitmantb]

I tried everything from crime city to Camelot.

My ideal game would be：

1) Automatic resource collection. I don't want to login every hour to collect resources.

2) Lots of options in build/research/upgrade. Forces you to make choices.

3) Interactive combat, again choices and decisions not just my attack number is bigger than your defense number.

4) reward for pvp. I don't want to lose a day's resources even if I win and have nothing to show for it.

Does a game like this exist?

I don't mind wait timers or being much weaker than others if i don't pay.
