Has any thought been giving to have the ability to set formation for groups, a good example of this is with the Total War: series of games - basically you create a group and then you have some predefined formations to choose (be good to take this a step further and allow you to create your own custom formations).
This would negate the problem of units getting strung out in a line when moving (specially an issue with heavy slower units)

Re: Group Formations
Yup, this has been suggested several times before. It's non-trivial to implement, we need to sort out the pathfinding code first before anything like this can be done. Also, it's likely the user interface would need updating to allow selection of a formation to use, and that's another difficult task currently.

Re: Group Formations
yeah I understand it's definetly a lot of work - if you are going to do it, please make sure that the ability to design/edit custom formations is implemented (as opposed to hard coded formations).

Re: Group Formations
Also we would need much bigger maps to take full advantage of them, like with bigger plain areas etc.
