At battle start, you get the option to apply a stance for your army: aggressive, hold ground, or defensive. But you don't really know how the battleground will look yet, so I never hit it.

Usually, when I change stance, I change it for my whole army. But that's irritating, and there's always the possibility I missed one.

Plus, it would be cool to just be able to hit one button and yell, "Charge!" when the tide of battle turned and I sent my units on the offense

Perhaps the ability to select multiple units to give the same orders to at once would work. So you could select all, set the stance to attack; or you could select three units, order it to attack one unit, and so on...

There are a number of things that would make it easier (and maybe more fun):

1) Allow stance to be set during deployment phase

2) Keyboard shortcuts for stance

3) Faster selection of units, at any time during battle (changes of course would not occur until next phase)

But I think an army-wide stance button would be fun, simple, and fast, and meet most people's needs. Generally, I'm in an army-wide stance.

This is giving me trouble as well. So tedious when you have 10 or more units in battlefield and you need to change stance for them one by one.

Another issue is that when heroes acquire too many capacities I can't reach the stance buttons because their "below" my screen.

This is an excellent suggestion, They need a "select all units" button too.

Absolutely agreed. the selection of multiple units for giving orders and the ability to change stance for the entire army in 1 click would make battles run so much more efficiently (in large fights there's always that 1 unit that you missed, and screws everything up).

Another thing I would like to see is when reinforcements appear, perhaps a prompt for their default stance. Nothing obtrusive, just make that box glow, or blink a colour other than black just to remind you that you haven't changed the default stance on that unit
