Troop Formations!

Besides, coding them to seem effective would be like trying to stick your leg inside your anus - hard, yet possible.

I dont know where you ve seen that formation are useless.
Just starting with warband for few week now (I know im couple years behind) but one of my best tatic is to have my infantry and archer stick in tight formation as possible. horse could come crash on my as much as they want a mix of rodok troops and nords got them killed in no time with minimun casualty. and from previous mod in the first mount and blade wedge work really but really good. help you punch through a group quickly get out and set yourself up for an other charge. with 150 off good troop i could go through thousand of enemys from and faction as long as you keep your troop mixed. so your extra bonus would make it way too easy.

Ya there is a lot of people who want formations A.K.A. All people. It would be awesome if the could do a shield wall or a box. And also have it so you can have archers in the middle of the square then have shields wall around them with pikes poking through. As an example :D

It would seem some of my ideas can be put here:

3 - Battle Strategy (continued): Again, the pause option would be nice. It would allow time to actually issue commands. On top of this, I'd like the option to 'queue' commands - if you've played the last Splinter Cell game, with its marking targets to execute several things at once, you might know what I mean.

When I enter a battle, I want the ability to give a series of orders (each executed in turn, at 1-2 second intervals simply because no leader can yell five things at the same time...). So I queue up:
-Cavalry, follow
-Infantry, move here
-Infantry, stand close
-Archers, move here
-Archers, then move here

And those orders are executed as I lead the Cavalry off to begin the battle. The amount of orders that can queue should be equal to your personal Tactics score - giving those odd numbers a point. Furthermore, there should be an option to set initial battle plans before the battle launches, which would be just like the screen and map that comes up with the 'backspace' key (except with the changes I've already mentioned, such as terrain, of course). This wouldn't be too hard - just an option to add on the list with "Lead your soldiers in an assault" and "Order the attack to begin without you".

As one last element of this, the ability to determine formation would be nice. Instead of one long line of soldiers, two or three ranks of troops, with custom specifications, if desired. Maybe have a formation editor?
