there's a mod called chocolate quest (A.K.A better dungeons mod) in which one can hire units of your chosen faction when you right click click on them their is a GUI with

1. formation

2. guard

3. wander

4. follow

5. whatever inbuilt conversation or quests (hired units give them as well)

there is a grid in the top right corner it works with the player the centre

(example though the mod has proper simbols etc)

0 0 0

0 p 0

0 0 0

one can then place the unit in the grid

0 0 0

0 p 0

0 0 U

this then corralates to the formation in formation the unit will always try to stand diagonally in front of the player the grid zooms out if you need more then 8 spaces to place troops.

Conclusion: this could be a way to implement formations using there position relative to the player (this whole suggestion infringes FAQ so why not post this as a possible way?)
