For some reason this does not work for me. I can not select the same group they were in (nothing happens). I can select the leader of the group but it creates a new squad.
It does not work for me, either. If I select some members of a squad, the squad they are in does not become grey, meaning it is an invalid target for unit placement (much as non-mages don't become grey when you select magic units, or commanders with leadership zero don't become grey when you select any unit). Whenever I get into this situation (wanting to unselect a number of units) I usually have to hit Esc and exit the Army Setup screen entirely, then re-enter it. That's the only way I know of. If you find a way please post it!
As far as the AI and diplomatic status goes, Johan Osterman posted this a few months ago to another messageboard I read:
"The AI will most often keep the peace until he runs out of easy bordering independents. At that point it might attack one of its neighbours. The AI will also consider you at war if you attack one of its provinces; if you and the AI do not have any skirmishes for a few turns it will cease considering you at war. If you kill the AI's pretender, he will consider you at war for the whole game."
Note that the "lack of skirmishes" criterion is up to both you and the AI. Thus, if it finds easy provinces for conquest, it will keep attacking such, but if you manage to build up sufficient defenses that the AI considers an attack unwise, and it has no other options to attack you, and you maintain these defenses, eventually the AI will revert to a peaceful state.
In other words, once you go to war, your unilaterally stopping the war will not necessarily stop the AI from continuing it, but after several turns of peace on both your parts, the AI may call the whole thing off.
