ZEUS - Cannot place individual squad members to tactical positions
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Currently Zeus may not control the positioning of individual group members, they always prioritize formation over everything when not engaged. Placing only individual soldiers everywhere is tedious and makes squad composition management difficult. Also the group tab on the left side of the screen fills rapidly from all individual unit spam thus rendering it pretty much useless when it comes to unit order management.

Possible fixes: Prioritize individual orders from Zeus over formation orders, give the option of having squads without any determined formations.

I agree, this is something that has also annoyed me lately.It's not possible to chose positions of individual squad members freely.

It also makes it impossible to have artillery on the other side of the map share intel with infantry on the battlefield, since grouping them together will force them to regroup.

There should be a "no formation" option like in the editor. Or some sort of a new distinction between groups on a larger scale and squads.
