how do I "lock" my army formation? [help!!]

[||Lz3||]

Selecting them all with Ctrl + Q really keeps the formation, unless one or more unit can't be placed where it should due to map borders or walls, then it'll reform. But actually, once I'm close enough I move each unit one by one to get a proper engagement where the lines collide properly.

I think thats what I was looking for, not sure yet , I have to try it

the thing is that even If I grouped my army as 1-skirmishers 2-hastati 3 -princeps ... If I wanted to move their line they would just rearrange in one line , but I would loose the "quincux" feeling (having (gaps in the line)

But I have to say, I use the AI formation mod from Darth and Sinuhet which also add some player formations which are very well predefined. But most of the time my groups work in "Single Line" Mode. I don't have problems with cavalry charging or messed up formations, don't know why you got these problems. Perhaps because I'm using BI.exe?

I'm also using darth's... 2nd version , and I'm using alx.exe , but either way I dont think that makes a difference...

just a question , do your enemy's armies retreat whenever you're trying to attack them? like if they had some sort of skirmish mode? cause thats what is happening to me , as soon as I get close they star running backwards...
