Hello, I am not sure if this is too big of a change in gameplay for a wincondition, but I would really love to see a squad builder. Where instead of buying squads and reinforcing them. You train infantry one squad member at a time. Then using the function that certain leaders use to join an existing squad. You make it to where any unit can be added to any other unit, forming a squad and then adding on soldiers until you have your desired squad. Each faction could have different squad caps, or each unit could have a squad population value. Some things like normal population and unit cost would have to be adjusted which is why im not sure this would work as a wincondition. But this would really be an awesome aspect to add to UA. Please, if anyone sees this and likes the idea. Blow it up, think of the possibilities. Thank you for anyone who read this.

I put this in another thread and that one seemed to be dead. I feel like this would be good for every unit because you could do things like group vehicles together as well, like adding a couple light tanks or air units to a squad of transports for an escort. Or infantry to an artillery battalion for short range support. I feel the only issue with this would be using individual abilities for units. But the way it could work is that every unit in a squad still shows up in your selection hotbar and are selectable so you can detach them from their squad or use abilities seperately. The only thing the grouping does is group movement, attack, and stances.

I really hope you consider this because that has been on my dream list for this RTS since I began playing it. Thank you again to anyone reading
