How to Install / Update Game of Thrones: Conquest (GOTC) on Incompatible Android Devices
Awhile back I inquired about some Android APK Mod Sites for a friend addicted to playing Game of Thrones: Conquest, and now the not-so-lovely folks at Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. decided to suddenly drop support for her Samsung 2016 tablet... apparently their target audience is people who can afford new devices every few years to blow tons of money on GOTC packs. 
While I agree with Android developers dropping support for legacy devices the same way browsers like IE and operating systems like Windows do, I don't feel a 'like new' tablet that is only 4 years old should qualify to be cut off just yet.
To make matters worse, it's not like WB just added the tablet to an 'unsupported device' list and allowed people to continue playing GOTC attributing any issues to it no longer being officially supported... instead they force you to update the game, block it being installed from Google Play Store and being downloaded elsewhere then manually installed as well.
This happened when updating from the GOT Conquest-2.12.253960.apk (85.5 MB) to the recently released GOT Conquest-3.1.255295.apk (55.2 MB).
You'll receive one of the following errors pictured below, depending on how you try to update it:
Warner Brothers isn't the only Android game developer who uses this tactic, so the mini How to Install / Update Game of Thrones: Conquest (GOTC) on Incompatible Android Devices guide below applies to other APK-based games also.
Some simple build.prop edits didn't do the trick unfortunately, and APK Easy Tool (Windows GUI for APKTool) revealed only basic details:
