Yeah.  A grouping interface something like groups in Warlords 
(Warlords2?) would seem sensible to me.  As an extension of the
unit list dialog I guess.

I would think movement of the group would be limited to the slowest
or least move-capable unit in the group (again, Warlords-like).
Though boat "passengers" would still be special.

Presumably combat would still be individual since to do otherwise 
would be a big departure from Civ1/Civ2.  Attacking with a group 
could mean to attack individually with each unit in the group in 
turn.
