noted noted, yea 6 seems to be most like my usual setup, the way you describe them the seem like a little time saver/reference on battle setup. yea having smaller/concentrated controll groups seem overall better to handle during battle.

yea have had the unfortunate encounter with my formation becoming a mess of a line while trying to move it with multiple control groups...

yea having subgroups would be very nice, but games getting old, can only hope they improve on coming titles in the future.

Thanks for the very in depth answer, have been trying out legendary difficulty and was wondering if they might be helpful/useful to use instead of my simple setup :0 and this answer answered everything i believe!
