No need to dumb it down. I'll either be playing it on my laptop with a track pad, or DS4 with a track pad. No difference. You can always connect a keyboard for the shortcuts or a mouse if you prefer that instead of a track pad. It's ofcourse up to the developers not to chicken out and dumb it down.

Of course you need to dumb it down.
Ever tried playing an RTS game with a console controller? I would rather shave a cat.
Fact of the matter is, every RTS and TBS have been "dumbed down" for consoles in some way, you cannot micro manage like you do with a PC.
One of the worst offenders is Red Alert 3, because of the consoles, the PC's GUI suffered.
Then if it was built with consoles in mind, expect smaller unit counts, worse graphics, worse audio, worse networking, worse A.I, worse path finding and potentially a "Cross platform GUI" which will result in a convoluted mess that could for-the-worse affect the PC.
I'm a PC gamer, let us have our exclusives and let the consoles have theirs, some games are just simply better on the PC. - RTS, TBS, MOBA, MMO and some RPG's fit into that bracket.
Plus, playing CIV in eyefinity is a sight to behold.

Nope haven't played an RTS on a DS4 yet. I have tried Tropico on 360 but it ran like crap. I moved the pc to my projector instead and played Tropico 3 and 4 from pc on my 92" screen. Balancing a keyboard and mouse on the couch however sucks.
We'll see with Tropico 5 what was 'sacrificed' for consoles. The pc versions didn't seem to have suffered from the 360 port in previous installments. If you like games, than certainly those games reaching a bigger market is only a positive. Maybe Flight simulator and AoE would still be around if they could have been made relevant on consoles. And what's the excuse for sim city, biggest dumbing down of a series I know of. Terrible path finding, tiny 'cities', buggy mandatory online features.
