squad handling!

[Cho-Arrim]

When I have marked several groups of units and want them to go to a specific point, they tend to spread out EXTREMLY!!
I want an option so my army will gather rather than spread out. (both is very usefull) its annoying to click on every unit and move them together after I moved them.

I dont know if I should post this as a bug or suggestion.

I'm pretty sure it's simply by design... fields of fire and what not... I'd be good to know if there was a reason for this happening, and if there was a formation or something we could change to get them to bunch up.

Right now it's like they spread out so as not to be a target for artillery.

well its good that they can spread out, BUT i want to be able to choose between spread out and stay together

Another one that could be placed under the rediculous pathfinding logic in this game... This is actually the only issue so far I have with this game. They should do something about this in a patch because this is seriously screwing the fun in the game.

I didn't like this either so I modded it to bunch the squads close together. Note that you can't switch in the game, it's either on or off but if you want to try it here is what I did (after using Spooky's tool):

got to: W40K/Data/game/destination_formation.lua

in there I cut all the numbers in half. From my meager testing it seems to improve it. Try it out for yourself and see. If you don't like it just backup the original beforehand, or just double the numbers again. Although I would REALLY like to see a button in the UI to switch between the two when you are up against an enemy with artillery...but for now I like this solution.
