Training Field For Formation Training

[desupero]

Is there a way to train your army for formations outside of the actual battles you are involved in please? I'd like to take some time to discover the formations and then move sections around without having to do it in a battle, so I am a little more fluent and can also make notes of queuing orders.

This would be a fun idea, or even add in feature to save troop placement.

Example I want these units with big shield in the shield wall to be first line with little shields behind then finaly infantry without shields in the back row.

Example 2: I want big shield, 2h,little shield in rear facing backwards.

Yes, I would like that, too. Is there even a way to set a starting formation, so that my troops can at least start the battle in a reasonable way?

Alternately - or additionally - it would be great to have the option to pause combat when we open up the F1 battle menu. As it is, the battle is often over before I've even figured out the menu.

That's ridiculous, since in real-life, I'd have no problem just yelling out what I wanted my troops to do. And, of course, I'd have taught them what formation to use at the start of a battle, too. (On the other hand, I'd actually die in real-life, and I don't want the game that realistic. Heh, heh.)

I play lots of different games, and remembering the complicate key-presses required of each of them is beyond my abilities!

Pretty sure one of the perks claims you can place troops before battle. It doesn't work

Yes please an instanced type thing you can do anywhere.

I like the newbie training course village for practicing stuff on horseback but it sucks having to physically travel there.
