Hero formation presets[edit]

Add a button the party window that toggles the hero-flags into a choice of 3 preset formations.

  • In flag mode, left-click the "cancel flags" to cancel flags, but right-click to toggle formation mode.
  • In formation mode, you have 3 preset formations in place of the flags: left-click to arrange heroes to the formation, right-click to change the preset. The cancel flag button becomes a move in formation vs flag to formation toggle. Right-click to change to flag mode.

Among the many possible formations:

Ordered presets

These formations are based on the order of the heroes in the party window.

  • Wedge, player is at apex of a triangle with heroes 2-3 just behind and the remainder as a backline several steps behind.
  • Follow-the-leader: player is at the lead of a conga line, with heroes following in order (2-8).
  • Loose: heroes keep apart from each other and player.
  • Close: current default.
Intelligent presets

These formations are based on the hero professions and/or their kit.

  • Traditional: martials forward, monks in back, others nearby.
  • Health-based: highest health forward, lowest health in back.
More complicated ideas
  • Custom formation: allow player to set some of the following parameters (either by toggling options on/off or by arranging flags in an formation-option window).

Thanks to Ander01 for suggesting: loose, close, and custom.
