Brad (or Stardockians),

What is the chances that you might add a Touch GUI option to FE?

I purchased a Win7 tablet for development using the SDK for Windows 8 (I've also put the Windows 8 Developer Preview on it) and just for kicks recently I went ahead and downloaded and installed WoM on it. The game works fine on the tablet and some aspects do seem to be touch enabled (pinch and zoom work for the map), however, most of the buttons are far too tiny to work and using left clicks to move is not fun to do as you have to touch the spot you want to move and hold your figure tip on the spot for roughly a second or two, but it works.

Again, the big drawback here is that the interface is definately NOT touch friendly.

Since I was one of the original beta testers and had pre-Ordered WoM almost a year before it finally came out, I'm assuming that I will be in the first group of testers. Along that line, if you are interested in how the game will play off a Win8 tablet I would be happy to post my experiences.

I really think FE could be a awesome tablet/touch game, but you might have to be willing to develop an alternative GUI for touch based systems or be open to making some of the buttons bigger or function slightly different for touch. 

 Any thoughts?
