A community for all things strategy gaming. We love RTS games (like Supreme Commander, Age of Empires and Company of Heroes), 4X games (like Civilization and Age of Wonders) and Grand Strategy games (like Stellaris, Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron). Join us to talk about them, organise games, post gameplay footage, and more!
Steel Division 2 does something like that.
You can select a bunch of units and give them a simple goal like "take this area" or "defend this village", and they will become a "mini-faction" and automatically do the necessary microing like setting up MGs in houses and forests, or flanking attacks, with armor taking preferably the open areas while infantry goes house-to-house. Large battles are unmanageable without either this, having many players, or playing at half speed.
I think some Total War games also do something like this, automatically setting up formations to counter enemy moves.
