How would this be abused? Maybe an undo button, yes. A confirm to do an action? Not at all.

Ahhh i was only addressing the undo button thing, not confirm attack. I think confirm attack button would be great, especially when playing on the small screen of your iPhone/ iPod.

Exactly my point. My finger alone covers over a quarter of the screen

In all seriousness though this would be impossible to balance undo's as to not make it too easy to abuse spawning a runner, checking the field, undoing the runner, spawning somethi else. Confirms though, i could see working.

Also, I am using an iPad...

I could go either way on that one.
Another option besides action confirmation (which shouldn't be on by default to be sure) is just the option to zoom. (Not that I haven't accidentally grown a barrier while trying to pan before, but still...)

I think there's no reason not to implement a confirmation like for moving, that can be turned on/off in the options.

Meanwhile, you can drag attacks from your unit to the target, instead of just clicking on the target - you see exactly which unit is being targeted before you release.
