More Specific Orders + More Control

[Rauros]

I think having a bit more control over your troops would be a great idea. Firstly, the current orders you can give out are fairly limited. I decided to make an army of ranged units, hoping that the 'Hold Position' command would keep them standing still using only ranged weapons, but instead they would charge when the enemy was close enough and only the units at the front would fire. It would be good to have more specific orders, for example commanding troops to hold position and only use ranged weapons or maybe ordering your troopsto protect a particular soldier. Also, being able to split your army into seperate squads or teams would be pretty cool, assigining them hotkeys to control them seperately. You could then give orders to seperate squads which would really add an element of tactics. Formations would be cool too, at the moment all your troops just charge forwards like a raiding party.
