After playing some tactical battles I find myself wishing I could place my troops on the tactical map before the battle starts. As it is, it feels like my "army" or "troop" is just set up randomly. Perhaps balancing would be an issue since the AI would not place armies that intelligently I guess but it is something I wish I could do.
or at least the ability to determine formations or something similar
Was thinking the same thing earlier today.
[suggestion] Tactical Battles - unit starting placements / positions

Aye, just wanted to post that as well. Yesterday I had my full army in a battle and one of my soldiers was placed right next to the enemy and didn't stand a chance. All the others were 4-5 Tiles behind him as they should be, but there also sometimes the archers are in front whereas the heavy protected guards are in the back...
If they could get this system worked out, it would be an interesting twist for there to be a chance you're army is ambushed and it messes up your initial placement, or you find yourself surrounded.
Might not be fun though if you're army is annihilated because of this though.
