With regard to assigning troops I would like to see a combination of the old and the new system: the ability to redesignate the formation number for a troop type in the Party [P] screen in combination with the current set up for pre-battle deployment options. That way it is possible to group particular types of infantry and cavalry in their own numbered formation if one is so inclined, while also being able to alter that in the predeployment screen if so desired. One previous habit was for instance to retain all shock infantry under formation 1 and redesignate all javelineers as formation five, similarly all shock cavalry under the default formation 3 and all javelin equipped troopers under formation 7. Being able to do so again in the Party [P] screen and then able to have that formation deploy freely in the pre-battle deployment screen would be the perfect solution for me. Having troops with different fighting styles combined reduces the player's possibilities for varied tactics. The current implementation of dividing up cavalry that results in just multiple units with each a mix of heavy cavalry, regular shock cavalry and mounted javelineers is not ideal when one wishes to make best use of each fighting style during the engagement.
