Formations
Formations are incredibly important in Myth II: Soulblighter. Orienting your troops in different formations allows you to strike effectively, rather than as a mob. You will need to learn how to use formations if you expect to hold your own in a network game.
You can edit parameters for your formations in Fear.
See the Fear documentation for more info.
There are ten preset formations which correspond to the ten number keys at the top of your keyboard. Following is a description of each.
 1 - Short Line: Units will line up four abreast.
 2 - Long Line: Units will line up eight abreast.
 3 - Loose Line: Units will line up four abreast, but spaced widely.
 4 - Staggered Line: Units will assume a staggered line.
 5 - Box: Units will move in a perfect square.
 6 - Rabble: Units spread out in random positions.
 7 - Shallow Encirclement: Units are in a wide, shallow arc.
 8 - Deep Encirclement: A tighter, smaller arc.
 9 - Vanguard: A V-shaped formation.
