As mentioned in #127, if we want to support devices which don't have Google Play Services, we'll need a new sign in flow. This is probably a good time to implement an idea I've had for a while which is basically that you start off with an "anonymous" account that's just associated with your device (i.e. if you lose your device, or wipe it or uninstall the game, then you lose access to your empire as well). But once you're actually in the game, you can then associate your empire with an account so that you don't lose it.
This means people will be able to try the game without having to give up their account info and is a bit of a "try before you buy".
Once you've been playing for a while, we'll probably want some interstitials or something to encourage users to associate their empire with an account, because we wouldn't want people to accidentally loose access to their empires.
