    Hey Hach. I haven't been able to play much MP or anything for that matter because my girl broke my PC. So this might have been fixed in the patch as I’m not sure. But I can say that in my experience onagers will move forward if the units they are to attack are out of their range and you order them to attack. If you place the onagers behind your troops they will push the units in front of them forward. So best to keep your onagers on either fire at will under they start to fire or wait unit you get the green arrow showing the unit they are to attack are in range. If you order them to attack before the green arrow they will mess up your formation. That might be the cause. I’d test it myself now but I can’t. Hopefully somebody else can help you out that can actually test it

    hach do you have the patch?

    I've heard of this bug a few times, was it related to having the units in a group? It seems there are lots of problems with groups.

    were you using groups at all in that game?

    Hi Guys

    I am patched and my Onagers are the front unit of my army.
    If i select just onagers and right click and say stretch the formation out i see extra dots indicating that something else is going to move with them and sure enough something does.

    It's happening exactly the same in combat.
    I will say i select only archers to attack and they are the only thing selected in the Army card'but i might get all Triari attacking too.

    Totally weird.

    I have the 1.1 patch, yet I have the same problem. When I have grouped units, say, one group of cavalry & one group of Infantry, often when i select the cavalry group only, and then stretch the units as i want them placed, the Infantry get included into to placement as well. Even though they are in another different group alltogher!!!!

    cohort,

    Thank you for the details. Based on Cohorts report this seems to be part of the major problems with groups.

    I find this grouping problem comes from having a unit in a previous group. If you split a unit from a group you need to ungroup the whole group and then reform smaller groups. If you group units whilst still in a large group it seems to remember the previous large groups settings and postitions.

    i also have this problem..when i select one group and drag them into a formation it also took my archers group and moved them too...and then when i seperated the archers again and regrouped everything the archers would not drag form at all..it is all screwed up afterwards.
