Groups of Units

[greenlaser]

Most of the time if I'm moving a big army it moves around in form of a big column... then if you arrive at a settlement the front of the column get's killed before the end of it even arrives. Now my idea is to make a function that groups the unit; 20 melee,10 ranged,...) and then you can move this constellation as a unit, without bothering to select them individually. like this you could move them a lot more easily. This groups should also have some kind of aggressive standground function; they fight close together for some bonus... I know you can phalanx your units but they break up very fast!

...So you want formations.

We're working on that - slowly - and we know the current "formation" stuff doesn't really work.

Basically, it's on the "to-do before 1.0" list, but nobody quite knows exactly how we want formations to work, plus it's very difficult to code, so nobody's really done anything about it yet.

Jep some more compact formations.

Ok, well hope it does come out
