Hmm, I did my final year project at school on mouse vs touch controls for RTS: it's still a little debatable, but my conclusion is that there are certain cases where touch can trump the mouse, and it's possible to bias the gameplay towards these cases.

Hmm, it's only been out for a few days, so it's a bit too early to tell. People have been pretty nice to us though, so I am really thankful. Looking back, I think we only tried because we were 1) crazy and 2) didn't comprehend how much it'd take to finish: the entire experience was nailbiting at times, but seeing people enjoy the game in the end makes it all worthwhile.
