All right in STW and MTW after you trained a new unit they would automatically group them together on the camp map. Like when you click on your general or captin the units or army is in order.

Rome has them on how u train them, with apparently no order but I liketo have allthe same time of units grouped but cant figure out how.

Can you? and does my question make sence lol.

There is not much difference between MTW and RTW in this... In RTW you can always fit a full army stack (20 units) inside a settlement (no matter what size it is)... Remember in MTW if you built a new unit in a province with a large enough castle (or whatever) then the unit would be garrisoned in the castle. Only if there is insufficient space would the unit appear outside the castle... Well the same applies in settlements in RTW, except the settlement can always take 20 units... (Sounds like a bit of a backwards step realisim-wise now I read it back...)


Or maybe I didn't understand what you where getting at....

Ya I think you misunderstood but then again I cant explain things for crap lol.

What I mean is when you click on a general or captin and are in the army tab you see those lil picutres of ur units? They dont seem to be grouped based on troop style (ex: Gen cav, 4 archers, 3 pikemen, 2 barb cav) instead they seem to be orderd by which u trained them (ex: Gen cav, 2 archers, 1 pikemen, 1 barb cav, 1 archer, 2 pikemen, 1 archer)

Is there a way to group em all together again?

As far as I can tell, you can only group them manually. For ex; move all your archers to a nearby space, then move them back into the army, rinse and repeat for the rest of the units... is that tedious or what?

Yeah ... I have the same (minor) gripe.
One way to re-order (tedious) is to move your stack out of a city and them move them back in one at a time.
They'll be be in order according to who enters the town first (generals are always first unit card).
