Yes, this is a huge pain.  When I play against AIs, I build few big
cities rather than many small cities, even if it's not the optimal

be invaluable.

Even better, define "formations", where units are requested to keep a
fixed position with respect to a "leader", and the leader executes a
"goto" command keeping pace with the slowest unit of the formation.
