Even though it gets next to no use / discussion now, the formation system was highly touted and discussed before the release of Vanilla Supcom, but proved to be extremely limited and under realised at time of release. Despite the practical difficulties with F.A's pathfinding that really hold it back, the (2) formations themselves never seemed the most usefull possibilites to me. I was wondering if it was possible to mod in extra formation options?
The main one I always thought that should have been included is a 'scatter' formation where all selected units spread out in a radius away from eachother. This would help reduce the amount of micro needed when coming under bomber / artillery / naval bombardment and any other splash heavy attack.
Also, this is probably engine limited, prohibitively complicated and timeconsuming, but just wanted to ask about the possibility of working the fantastic Flow Field path finding system into F.A? This was one of the (few) truly great advances made in Supcom 2, and would be amazing to have in F.A.
For those not informed, here is the Flow field system compared to F.A's:
