My two cents on the whole 1UPT vs Stack of Doom. Why not introduce a zoom-in interface where the battle occurs over an upclose field with multiple tiles? For instance two stacked tiles of 5 units each would show up in the upclose battle as occupying their own tiles spread out across the field of engagement taking into account the surrounding terrain. Warriors in front followed by archers and catapults with horsemen on the flanks. Horsemen would be given multiple movement bonuses while archers would get range bonuses. I'm not saying we should get all Empire-Total War over this but a zoom-in battle interface would address gripes brought on by Stack of Doom and 1UPT.
Other suggestions:
Military buildings give equipment bonuses instead of experience (or could give both)
Enable ambushing (units in friendly territory get a movement terrain bonus vs enemies when two nations are at war; barbarians could also get an ambush bonus). This would introduce a guerilla element where inferior units can still battle tough against stronger opponents.
Just some thoughts. I think there is a way to enhance the battle interface without turning Civ into a battle strategy game akin to Medieval War.
