[Suggestion] Pick 4 Formations

Suggestion / Feature Request / Wish List

We have 4 slots for Formation.

  1. Line
  2. Wedge
  3. Spread
  4. Box (Default)

Would like to see an additional 4 - 6 formations to have a pool of 8 - 10 to choose from, then a player could choose their favourite 4 formations to add to their military tool bar from the main menu / options?

Impact on Multiplayer

  • May add a new dynamic to military engagements and micro.
  • Allow for unique playstyles.
  • Each player could be using similar but not the same formations that suit their playstyle.

Impact on Single player?

  • Would look good!

How it could be implemented:

  • Pre-determined from the main menu and only 4 formations can be chosen / assigned to a player profile, cant be changed in game.

Formations to consider:

  • Column (we already have this in Navy)
  • Square Box (Open Center to protect an e.g. monk with relic)
  • Split Formation (splits your comp into two flanking groups as seen in AOE2)
  • Wedge Left
  • Wedge Right
  • Guerrilla Formation ( a formation that mixes units randomly)

Others / Unique Formations / Faction Unique

  • Testudo Formation
  • Schiltron Formation (circle / square)

Thanks!
