Hello,
I've been poking around the files trying to figure this out after I talked with another modder about it. We were wondering if there could be formations in this game for your infantry like Column, line, echelon etc? I was wondering on how, if it is possible, this could happen? Would it be a script or would it be something in the *.ai files that I would have to edit. Because at the moment I don't really feel I have much control over the units that follow me. What I was thinking was that hotkeys would be used to change your unit's formation. Of course once engaged by enemy the normal ai would take over. After engaged you could use the current "form up command" and they would go back to your assigned formation. Its an idea that I would use but I don't know about anyone else.

Not possible, sadly. Nothing handles AI unit position on such a small scale.
