    Touch-screen playability?

    Lately i've got a new laptop, with a touch-screen. I started to play a game utilising the touch-screen, selecting units and giving them fortify commands was easy and intuitive, the only problem I had was the unit movement, not too say it was impossible, just awkward.

    Units are too big.

    In Both Civ 4 and 5 I've always thought a units footprint (which I assume to be about 100-1000 soldiers ) of one tile, is too big. In other words the scale of the unit compared to the map is incorrect/ wrong. in Civ 4 I thought the standard movement of one tile was a bit too restrictive and...
