:cta_emo2: Good suggestion. Especially since this game focuses more on tactics than strategy.

-Diamond formation for when we are surrounded.
-Wedge formation for when we assault.
-Line formation for when we are defending.
-Column formation for when we are not sure what side we are going to get attacked from first.

+1 for formations. A tactical wargame should stress small unit tactics.

The original RTS starship troopers actually had this. You could set formations so your more elite units where protected in the middle or you could spread them out to cover more area.

Great idea. Maybe customized formations, like, select a group of units and save however they're arranged to move in that formation. Would help for when I need certain units in certain spots and I dont want to select each one to move them.

Hold right click and rotate...

But yeah some extra formation options would be nice.

Echelon Right and Echelon Left formations would also be awesome in my opinion. I have seen these formations be available on other games but they were never required or used properly in gameplay. This game could make use of these in a very ideal manner because we are fighting bugs and not human beings. The idea behind these formation is that the leader is expecting enemy contact from a specific side and they are focusing their fire power to that specific side.

They aren't great at actually forming or facing the way you want. It's really hit and miss, usually you need to move them backwards or forwards to shimmy them into the correct orientation.
