Do you think it would be possible to add an attack command like the one used in Starcraft? It's really annoying in AOK when you tell your troops to move to the other side of the map and they just walk past any enemy troops they see and do nothing, even if there attacked. It would also improve one player games against the computer. Ever play against the computer in AOK? If you play a map that has a choke point (Black Forest), all you have to do is station a few ornagers and troops at the opening of the choke point and your base will never be touched. The enemy troops just walk right past and get slaugtered in the process. Having an attack command is also very useful when attacking a large group of enemy units. Have you ever seen a large group of enemy units in AOK, right click a unit in the middle of the group without realizing you didn't click on the troop that was in the front. Then you end up losing alot more men then you have to because there trying to attack the guy in the middle while there all getting killed. I hope an ES employee will consider my idea. Thanks.

You mean like AoK's patrol command? They'll attack if they are on patrol, but then they keep moving and eventually turn around, which can be annoying. And it sucks to have guys come straight out of a military building and not attack anyone until they reach their gather point. Similarly, it would be mega convenient if you could set the starting stance on new units (something like set the stance of the miliarty building, so that all units created from that building start off with that stance).

Yes that would be a good idea. There were many times when I would make a queue of soldiers at the barracks and then go off to do something else and then come back only to find half my soldiers scattered across the map or dead because they started following an enemy since they are on agressive stance as a default.
