    But if I have, say, three poeni inf. and wanted to make a line, I would not want space between them.

    Then just let them build a line and group them afterwards, they will keep the facing and the line, in MTW it was a bit annoying that they didn´t always keep the line. When the group was moving and you gave them another move order, they kept their relative positions, but not their heading, so insted of

    if you know what I mean, it doesn´t happen in RTW anymore, that´s a positive thing about groups.

    Im left-handed, and I've always used a right-handed mouse, without any problems. Therefore, I doubt that the right-click mode will be more difficult. It may take some practice but in my experience the middle finger can become just as dexterous. I can make 6 time clicks with my middle finger ~:p

    I'd like to voice an opinion. I've used the click-and-drag with my groups in almost every one of my online games. The incredible convenience of this was that I could arrange and sort my front infantry line and drag it into a proper line without gaps. This way, I could put a power infantry unit in the center and place anti-cavalry or spears on the wings. The problem with RTW is that if I want to have a line with multiple infantry types, I'm forced to use the "single line" command, which sorts the infantry out for me. Reorganizing my army into something I did not order is not conducive to victory.

    This "single line" group formation is no cure for the lack of a click-and-drag for groups. The click-and-drag was much better for forming and reorganizing.
