hi total war fans and empire specifically

I still love playing empire (significantly modded) and e.g. often rely on editing saves to fine tune the diplomatics which the ai messes up.

But one thing I havenīt figured out so far is how I can manage the sequence of supply troops to enter the battle. If I group troops in an army, ETW automatically organizes the order of the troops. I know that they will enter the battle as they are listed in the army overview from left to right, first the upper row, then the lower row. For now I can only send an entering supply troop immediately retreating to have the next one entering which is not ideal.



army composition of 5 troops

cavalry / infantry / artillery / artillery / infantry

the artillery would enter as third and fourth, the latter infantry as fifth




I assume that ETW organizes the composition in regards to some strategic consideration. For example it would rather put cavalry in first place, artillery in the latter places.




Is there any way to organize army composition?

How could I have e.g. the infantries first and second, then the artillery and the cavalry last ... ??




Would also be helpful for quicker oversight of the army.
