Have units hold position?

[Rhythm]

Totally new to this and i absolutely love it, but would love to see some fights where my men hold their ground, im currently on mammoth migration and every time i put units on the rooftops they just commit suicide...
Is there a way to do this?

[ravenaussie]

nope that was scrapped a while ago they may add it back but its a low chance

[Ian_Hecox]

damn, confused why they wouldnt want us to do that, just adds to the creativity, but oh well i guess

I think it should be part of more extensive strategy controls: make groups (selectable by 1,2,3 etc), hold in place, move to location, attack a specific enemy and something about formations.

I imagine this would add enough extra content to the game to be worth the effort.

I guess the main problem could be: as this wasn't an initially desired feature, the rest of the game may be built in a way that selecting groups and giving them orders cannot be easily achieved without changing all kinds of different part of the code.

I think this is a big feature that is not needed for the core game, therefore it should not come early (ie only after promised features are bug free). Personally I'd make strategy controls a DLC for like £5.
