Does anyone but the player use battle formations?
So because I absolutely love the time period and specifically the Napoleonic Wars, I always take the time to arrange my men in columns and have them slowly advance and fire on my command, as was historically accurate. It looks cool, it feels cool and it just makes battles awesome. I feel like a legit general and not just some random warrior like in the vanilla M&B.

But I've noticed that I seem to be the only one that does this. Both friendly AI and enemy AI just let their men do whatever they want, just running and shooting about randomly all over the battlefield. It kind of makes battles seem a bit one-sided when I'm using all these formations and they're just doing whatever. I understand if that's because it's hard to program the AI to do this, and I completely understand that since there's only one dev it's unreasonable to expect complex AI behaviour. I was just wondering if the lack of AI battle formations is something the dev will fix later or if it will be left like this.

I love the mod, though, this post isn't meant to be critizising.

It got boring though, its simply easy unless you have a Mod to make it have more troops in Battle, I wanted something like from the Patriot, but sides lined up to fire, then Cannons Blasting, then the Cavalry decreasing Morale and you start freaking out, instead, you line up, fire, then you win. Its simple, and even more boring, lol.. This is even funnier, you buy Cannons, you upgrade all your men, then you don't even have to do anything, I mean, whats the point then afterwards?
