touchscreen support

[Rhetor]

having bought a convertible notebook i started to think about coming back to playing WitE in tablet mode on touchscreen. has anyone tried to play it this way? is it even possible?

The operating system handles the touchscreen mechanism as if it were a mouse. The software would then see the touch events as if you did the same with a mouse. I have not played it that way (no touchscreen) but I have programmed systems that could be used with either touchscreen or mouse without problems.

I know someone that plays WitP on a Surface Pro 3 so if that can be done then WitE should have no problems [:)]

I've played both WitP-AE and the WitE/WitW series on a Surface Pro 3. Actually I had the smoothest experience with WitP-AE, since I need no right-clicks there.

WitE plays slightly better that WitW, because of the presence of the "shift" button (discontinued in WitE). Using the active stylus, as an input device, also helps a lot.
Anyway, while I regularly play WitP-AE PBeM on the Pro 3 without using the keyboard (save for enetring the password at the start), I never managed to play WitE and WitW for extended periods of time in pure tablet mode and I find more comfortable to flip open the kickstand and play with the trackpad on the keyboard in laptop mode.

Amatteucci,

I'm looking at a surface pro 3 also. But not sure which one. Will the Intel Core i5 be enough?

I also do Witp-AE and just starting on WitW
