Duplicate Army placement

[Brummbaer]

Idea:

Possibility to place/rearrange the own army on the starting position on the battlefield before the fight starts.

u can do it already
simply when ur choosing ur units, click them in the order u want them on the battlefield counting from top of the screen

Thanks for this information, but this is not what I mean.

Let explain: Before the battle you select your troops. Press "Start figthing" and go to the battlefield. Than you see the battleground and found - bad troop arrangement. Now you have to surrender and do it again in the new troop order. Better is the possibility to place/rearrange direct one the battleground.

if u do standard fight then maybe ur right
but i do auto fight - im too lazy to fight normaly plus its no Heroes fighting system so its boring

I checked your answer.
It does not match with the placement on my battle field
On my battle field the sequence is: Center, Center North, Center South, North, South

i admit i do not use normal fight, but Im also 100% positive that the pattern of how units are placed is strongly based on order of chosen units

i was sure it was:
order chosen from left to righ is placed from top to bottom
Im sorry if igave you wrong hint but im sure there is the same pattern.

it is:
4
2
1
3
5

and there are already some suggestions regarding starting positions:

https://beta.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/squad-lineup-map-overview.658/

a little bit outdated (the change of minimum squad dmg from 50% to 10% is missing and probably some other small changes), but still a good way to start https://beta.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/encounters-guide.488/

Thank you for the information and the links, LordB! The formation on the battle field is indeed based on the order in which you selected the squads:

square 1: middle position
square 2: front line upper position
square 3: front line lower position
square 4: top outside postion
square 5: bottom outside position

Furthermore, there are two existing threads where suggestions have been made to easily determine where the squads will be placed: the oldest one here (click) and a newer one with a fancy mock-up here (click). Please add your support in one of those threads! I'll close this thread as a duplicate.
