Convenient move in Formation Mod ?

[Chino]

So i recently started playing TW.
Is there a way in Shogun 2, like a mod or something, to make my selected units move and rotate in formation other than grouping and place the hardlocked formation ? I personally loved the way warhammer 2 did it with pressing the alt key and dragging the selected bunch in place and rotating by pressing ctrl and moving the mouse. so easy, fast and convenient, that i really got used to it and now im having trouble coordinating my army in shogun 2

thats because you need more experience to learn how to do it.
select either predefine group formation or make own multi groups, then reform how wide you want with the unlock group formation and relock it again if you need it.

ps.
if coup dont use same grp nr as main player, or you will have units that is double shared. or use this to double shared if you transfer it back and forth on same grp nr share.

ok so a question. imagine I am in deployment mode, i have my missile units nicely spread out in the front and set into group 1, right behind them there is my infantry in group 2 and cav at the my flanks in group 3 & 4. Now Im starting the battle and it turns out my opponent is waiting for me to engage because he has a stronger defensive position... so there is no way to quickly mark ALL my units and tell my entire custom formation to move foward a bit and maybe slightly rotate e.g., without having to assign them into one single group, which would ultimately cancel all my other group assignments ?

In Warhammer 2 you can just mark your entire army in whatever formation they are, press and hold ALT and then click on one unit dragging your whole army to desired position and they would end up exactly in the same formation which they were in before

what do you mean cant select all and attack ofc you can. "CTRL-A" all units attack with group or minor groups.

and you can also make waypoint for horses. aka. ( outflank ) try use predefine grp formations read what japaness call them and understand grp. describtion. and it actual require you have those units. or you wont get the bonus from be in that right grp funtions ( then i say bonus, its more a lesser chance for somethings goes wrong, you cant use that grp. if you example dont have samurai or something like that. that can boost center to attack spearwalls or whatever the grp describtion require.

ps.
and nothing prevent you from use keyboard hotkey if you have one of them G-keys even mouse's today have extra buttons that can be programmed. but im use to do this on keyboard without such ... in old days no G-keys only legit group hotkey was allowed. ( assigned units )

Attila has similar controls to what you're describing, but I know of no mod for Shogun 2 that does this.

You simply have to select and position each of your locked groups one by one, or make a single locked group of all the subgroups.

You can incrementally move the group forward and backward using the movement compass that is down by the portrait of your general. You can also increase and decrease ranks using this compass.

Argh.... yea I was afraid of hearing that but...nothin I can change I guess, well not as long as someone creates a mod or s.th at least.... can you believe how they really just not recognized how clumsy and inconveniant their own game mechanic is ?

Anyways thanks for your answer Mile !
