SP - Battles & Sieges Array in depth, rather than width; temp fix for an annoying problem.

Too many maps are built like corridors: long, narrow, with inaccessible or semi-accessible sides. When the player is no longer a single party that means the starting formation is really, really wide. Frequently out of normal bounds (accessible terrain) which turns the game into a cavalry suicide slideshow. As funny as it watching dozens of horsemen leap for glory to their own demise the first time, it gets really old after that.

Please consider adopting a simple expedient solution of arraying the formations more in depth than in width. Instead of four (default) ribbons placed side by side, put the troops into boxes, formed into a diamond.

There will still be a few issues and definite room for improvement, but it would instantly solve about 80% of the problems with the current starting arrangement, without having to wait for pre-battle deployment to come around.
