Hey Giotto, Formations are not available in Alpha 17 but here is a few tips to increase your chance of winning a battle. 1. use group (CTRL+1 for example) usually I make 4 groups: - 1 is my main army (infantry melee and range) - 2 is my melee infantry only - 3 is my range infantry only - 4 is my cavalry 2. don't put your cavalry in the middle of the battle, try to flank your enemy to reach his range infantry or use them to harass his base during the battle. 3. try to get your infantry melee on the front and your range infantry on the back but not too far (you don't want to get flanked by enemy cavalry) 3. Before the battle, position your army and then click on "H". They will stop moving and start attacking the closest unit. It is very useful especially for your range infantry (you don't want to click on one enemy unit with 100 archers, because that mean that 100 arrows are gonna go on the same enemy unit and this is a waste of fire power, if you click on H, the arrows will spread out on many enemies)
4. use another group for your barrack and try to remake units when fighting. I'll make a video soon about this actually, give me a few days ^^
