I was playing Rome and Spain dow'ed me and surrounded my border city with a warrior on each of the six circle-one tiles. I already had an archer in the city. I proceeded to rush-chop a legion, which appeared in the city with the archer, but neither could do anything. The game wouldn't allow either to attack or move, no 'fortify' or 'skip turn' button appeared when I selected either unit, nor would the game allow me to proceed to the next turn. It was hung. I understand the logical conundrum I created, but it seems like there should be a way to continue from it.
Game version 1.0.0.26, no save.
 
There is a way to resolve the issue -- delete one of the two units and you can continue the game.
 
That may be the only way out, since you created a situation where the game can't proceed. Now you'd think that 'attack this unit' was a move, but alas... ;)
 
I wish I had saved the game at that point... my recollection is that I didn't have the 'delete' option, but that seems unlikely. Oh well, I'll know better in the future.
 
The delete option is hidden in a subsidiary menu (to minimize the likelihood of inadvertently deleting units) -- look for a small + sign to the left of the other unit action buttons.
