Let me know if I'm doing something wrong, but if not I'd advocate for a change to group/stack behavior.Here are my problems:
- First I've had a hard time figuring out the UI for handling groups. I would assemble a group then click on a square to go to, and only one unit would go. After searching the doc, I tried pressing J while clicking on the spot. Only once have I ever gotten the group to move as a group doing this -- and I'm still not sure why it worked that time and not the others.
- The one time I got units moving as a group, they didn't do what I expected. I was trying to keep a defensive piece moving with my Colony Pod, to protect the pod from mind worms. However, even though they were grouped, they moved separately, and my Colony Pod still ended up exposed to any danger that might come along.
I would really like a stacking behavior like Warlords III, where the stack is treated as one unit for purposes of moving, and there's always a visual indication that these units are stacked.
Am I missing a distinction between groups and stacks in AC? If not, how do I at least make the group behavior work as designed?
