So with the new pheromone marker system (that from the latest demo) I've recognized that I've started to use groups differently from how as you would expect (or maybe exactly how it was actually planed?).
So what I'm doing is I don't set markers for each group when they need to go somewhere.
Instead I'm setting up markers to where I want ants to go in the future (like one marker at a food depot I want to plunder soon, one marker at the queen for defensive purposes and one close to where I want to attack the enemy) and shift the ant squads between those marker groups.
What I'm missing is a mechanic that allows me to link several ant squads together as platoon, so I can move them all between groups by moving one (the others will be moved to the new group automatically with the one I dragged) - for example if I had 1 squad of 20 Formica ereptor, 1 squad of 15 Formica fusca and 1 squad of 15 Formica rufa acid sprayers, I want to be able to drag them all to another group by just dragging one of them over.
