Remember Deployment Formations
10.02.2021. UPDATE :
I changed the way formation are saved and applied.
They are now saved and applied by comparing the positions of the units relative to the lord.
So that means you change the formation position by moving the lord (first unit) and then applying the formation. You can also rotate the whole formation by changing the lord rotation (where he’s looking). Check the first video.

Adds a way to save and load the army formation during deployment.
Arrange your army and then save it into a formation. You can then apply the formation to your army during the battle deployment phase.
Reposition the lord and rotate him to change where the formation gets placed when you click the Apply Formation button.
Use normal game shortcuts (ctrl+a to select all units, hold alt and drag them, hold ctrl and move the mouse to rotate them) to make minor adjustments after.
If you add new units to the army, or remove units it’ll still work fine, but you may want to rearrange those new units and replace the formation.
The script isn’t smart enough to shrink the formation if units are wounded.
Formations are saved into SteamsteamappscommonTotal War WARHAMMER IIformations_new.json, you can shuffle copies of this file if you have concurrent campaigns with different factions.
Formations cannot be applied if there are locked groups (the little padlock icon). Unlock the locked groups before applying.
Add new features: remember formations by faction, option to give formations names etc.?
I hear you, I’ll see what I can do.
Recreate how groups are bound to shortcuts (for example Ctrl+1)?
I don’t believe I can do this.
Compatibility?
It’s compatible with everything (SFO and most mods don’t actually touch battle scripts).
Didn’t test in multiplayer, but someone reported it works.
