    BTW, is there any way of making a group have a fixed number of ranks? The click+drag function gives a fixed width of the unit, but usually it's of more interest to have a fixed depth. I've never tried it out and worked around it by manual adjustments, but it would be great if it had been possible to get the same number of ranks even when the units have taken different amount of casualties.
    Under construction...

    Actually, the number of ranks is fixed in the export_unit_descr. You see that when you loose lot of men and then go into battle with a heavily decimated unit. They´ll always deploy in a fixed depth (if you´ve got eighteen phalanx soldiers left they´ll deploy three men wide but six deep, because they always deploy in a depth of six). Minimum depth, by the way, is two.

    Yeah, at the start of battle they do, but not when I lose men in that actual battle and want to draw up a new line with the click and drag feature. Perhaps you can use a ctrl or alt or something when dragging, but I haven't found a way of doing it.
