@CoyoteTango I, and many here, agree, as you can see in my suggestion: This is known and discussed, as is maintaining formations during attacks, I think some have been working on it a bit, but it could be that others are against it, although I fail to see the appeal of preferring fighting blobs of units instead.

Sure, I also only play SP, and I've argued that's what over 90% of players actually do, so it cannot be overlooked as it usually is (if growing the game is among the priorities). But, ideally, whatever is implemented for SP shouldn't be a source of unfairness in MP, and that's why @wowgetoffyourcellphone observation is valuable. Preferably certain things should be automatically banned from MP, but for some reason this doesn't happen, and it has been many times a source of conflict among players.

If you have any questions about our Vulkan or render backend interface, you can write to me

would like to share a few suggestions to improve the tactical depth and usability of unit formations in 0 a.d.: Maintain Formations During Attacks: Currently, when ordering a formation (like a Roman Testudo or Greek Phalanx) to attack, the formation breaks apart as units rush to fight individually. It would be great if formations could move and attack as a single cohesive block, maintaining their defensive bonuses and structure during defensive advances or slow pushes. Improved Stance and Range Management: Managing ranged units or tactical retreats is currently difficult because troops automatically engage anything in range, disrupting the battle plan. We need better control or dedicated stances to prevent units from breaking formation to chase retreating enemies or breaking ranks to attack targets of opportunity. Custom Formation Dimensions (Width and Length): It would be extremely helpful to choose the specific dimensions of a formation before or during placement. For example, allowing players to adjust the grid to be 10 units wide by 5 units deep, or vice versa, either through hotkeys or by clicking and dragging the mouse to draw the line of deployment   If you see any AI, it's because I used it since I don't speak English. Thank you for your hard work developing this magnificent game.

@Thalatta thanks for the link When I have time I will look more about it. Keep in mind that my initial thought was a mod to play against the computer. Single player game.
