    a trick to make sure they are in formation when they move forward ,is to group units you request to move , then click and drag to make sure that you have the formation facing in the correct direction.

    occasionally ordering a large stack to move in formation this may not work ,and you might have to make smaller groups and click /drag them on the field.

    to me this always works... Playing with the romani i always put them in their quinqux formation, and the whole army when grouped moves like it should... The only problem is the cavalry, becouse they are faster that infantry

    But more complex formations can screw up, I like to mirror the English formations from the 100-years war and that is simply too complex for the game engine about 50 % of the time.

    I group them correctly and into formation but how do u move them forward and KEEP the same formation? It never works right for me, cause from the formation I gave them they tend to move to a strait line one. Is there a crt something to do to keep them into formation?

    I believe first you need to deploy them into the formation you want, then group them.
    After this, they will move in the set formation.

    There is no need to group anything. All you need to do, is to set them up in the formation you want, select them all and click in an area where there is enough room for the formation.

    They position themselves, so that the middle of the front line is in the area you clicked. If your click is off center from the formation the troops will face a new direction according to the angle between your click and the center.
