Order of Battle Entreaty

[Julio-Claudian]

Please please please make it so that you can assign units to specific groups in the deployment phase in the same way that you can assign companions. They could be displayed in the same way with arrows or a drop down to cycle between units and heroes. If a particular unit could be assigned to multiple groups the sliders could be used to control the percentage in each group, you could have multiple units in a group or single unit groups without any randomness.

I feel this would be a big improvement. So many players would love to be able to assign specific units to groups.

Another thing, atm when reinforcements spawn it seems a random group is chosen for them to join, which messes up the order of battle settings. Even if you use the default groups infantry often spawn into the archer group and so on which makes things feel quite chaotic. If it’s something to do with them spawning into the most empty group it could be better to use an empty/unused group.

OMG, this is exact what I want to suggest. Especially with some special units in historical modes it would be so useful (like Roman Vexillarius or Roman Signifer). This feature can be implemented as a group grid, where the player can setup the grid size (4x10, 3x10, 4x25) and place the desired units on the desired position, choosing lines, single cells or the entire grid. It would add customization and solve described reinforcement problem.
