Description

Select formations as a whole by default.

One can override this behaviour by using a hotkey when (de)selecting entities.
The aim of this system is to reduce micromanagement a bit.

You missed the intro.txt (see some ticket I recently created)

Freagarach mentioned this in D4284: Add two missing hotkeys to the intro.txt..Sep 28 2021, 6:38 PM

Two issues related to the battalion function:
Issue:1 - movement of several battalions at the same time
In the image below I have got 2 battalions.
One with 20 swordsmen in the Testudo formation and one with 28 skirmishers in the Close Order formation. When I select both and move them forward, they change to the Box formation and become one battalion. I would prefer them to be separate after advancing. If I change the small default icon in the formation to None, both battalions disappear after I move them forward.

Issue:2 - battalion selection if the unit type is the same
If both battalions consist of the same unit type, they are aggregated in the multiple selection panel and appear as one unit. I would prefer them to be sorted by battalion.

I agree with Langbart's requests. I have one of my own:

In a mixed formation ( formation with some hoplites, skirmishers, and archers), I would like to be able to selection different unit types and move them out of the formation by clicking the icon in the selection panel without needing to press a hotkey. This behavior would mirror the behavior of standard mixed selections.
