There are a variety of more advanced methods for issuing instructions to selected units once basic manoeuvring is learned. Use the cursor keys to nudge selected units into position, for example.
Hold shift when right-clicking to enqueue a waypoint, or hold shift and drag a path for units with the right mouse button.
Hold ctrl when right-clicking and dragging out a formation to walk units into their specified positions. This is useful when concealing units in forested terrain.
Hold alt, and left-click and drag on a selection on the battlefield to move units in formation.
Units in Guard mode won’t pursue a fleeing enemy. Guard mode can be activated by clicking the Guard button.
