Hey there,


I desperately want to play Civ V with touch, so i was really happy with the release of the fall patch. Apart from the Surface Pro (Microsoft already confirmed this is the case), which pad or hybrid can play Civ V (with huge maps, no standard)?

My guess is that the surface pro would be the only one. I really do not think any pads could play civ at all, maybe strategic mode. Pads are not PCs at this point they are devices for watching movies, listening to music and getting your email.

Surface Pro has HD4000 graphics. That's going to be painful, especially on a huge map.

If you want to play with touch, go buy a real gaming computer and a touchscreen monitor, or something like a Dell XPS One (but with the discrete GPU).

I have an acer w700 i5, works alright in touch mode. Not super fluent and I would not paly anything on huge, have not tried late game yet but I would think standard size could work.
