Request Groupai(simple formation)
I would like a group ai, so a army moves @ the speed like the slowest unit.
This is actually pretty useful, since setting the fast units to guard the slowest one can be counterproductive. Like when your mavs are all trotting behind a mobile jammer and the jammer is the first unit to walk into the enemy's field of fire. And then it dies. And then the Mavs all stop. Just inside the enemy's firing range, and just out of theirs. Argh.
shouldn't be hard
this shouldn't be hard to do, in the selectedUnitsAi.cpp file you can try using setMaxSpeed function SJ has added in movetype.h not long ago for units move with ALT/CTRL/Space or whatever pressed; I wanted to test it yesterday but couldn't compile last svn version of spring. Maybe setUnitAcceleration would also be needed so units won't accelerate at different speeds.
And groupAI which will make faster units constantly wait for slower is totaly easy to implement too. In groupAI you could also make units try to move in formation(keep some limited distance between neighbour units) but that might cause problems when obstacles like canyons are on their way.
