#593 closed task (fixed)

Move in formation towards non-movement-order targets

Description

When a group of units are ordered to attack/gather/repair a target, they should walk in formation until they're 'close' to the target (a fixed distance, plus their attack range if it's an attack order?), before splitting up to individually reach the target.

The distance is still chosen a bit arbitrarily, but it should work for most cases and the behaviour can be changed in the future.
