[Suggestion] Add a Formations Button to the Army Screen

from Elemental Forums

A very interesting addition would be unloackable formations, where when you place units on certain tiles in the layout screen they recieve different bonuses. Obviously they wouldn't need to stand on these tiles for this bonus, they simply need to be placed in that formation to recieve them.

Things as simple as +x or x% attack, defense, initiative, or things as complicated as 'If a life master is in the tile the army recieves +1 tactical health regen' Feel free to go nuts with this suggestion, or make it as simple as being able to choose where my units start in combat. The most important part of this being:

Since this is a strategy game with RPG components, I'd also like Flanking bonuses added during tactical combat. Flanking is a major deal in combat, and at the higher tactical/strategic level, flanking (and stuff like psychology) would go a long way to spicing up the army, non champion side of combat.

While a champion might be able to best loads of single groups, I think it only fair that if I'm able to surround a tough champion with the equivalent of 8 squads of blood thirsty but normal warriors, I should be able to beat the champion senseless from behind.
