An easier way to position units - another feature request

[Ed Kolis]

The current method of positioning units is rather awkward... for each unit, you have to click the position button, and you have to check that they're actually the ones you still want to reposition and not ones you've already repositioned, because those darn white dots look so much like those blue dots on that little button... (I know, reposition in order from top to bottom, but what if you have 10 units and you want to position #1, #5, #6, and #8? )

Why not just have a unified reposition units screen where you can *drag* all your units around? In addition to the current system, of course, because if one unit is on top of another then it would get to be a pain to drag the other one off of it

Interesting idea!

In many cases, you need to combine armies from several provinces in an attack. Therefore, it's even better to have a "positioning sketch-pad", which record the positions of all your squads until you clear them, so that you can align and arrange the squads together from different provinces.
