I like the idea of the curtain walls, but what if the players city expands? The click-n-drag system is way more flexible in this case as players might want to protect their territory as well as expanding it. Concerning the size of the curtain walls, I don't think it's a good idea to be bound on the civ. centers aura, but giving the possibility to choose the center and radius of the wall would be a compromise bewtween freedom of the players and realism.
