Default formations

Sometimes I spend part of an hour placing all of my units juuust right on the battle field. Then the battle that I anticipated doesn't happen, and I need to move them all around to prepare for a completely different kind of battle (for example, attack versus defense). Then the next turn, I realize that the original kind of battle is going to happen, so I have to move them all back.

Two things would help:

1. Make the green position map show transparent images of the units instead of white squares. This would make it go faster since I wouldn't have to keep clicking on other units to double-check who is where. It would also be prettier and more intuitive.

2. Make hot-keys to save formations just like the ones that are currently there to save order scripts. When you press the key to set a formation, then everyone in the current province gets their current position marked as being part of that formation. When you press the key to go to a formation, then everyone in the current province, *if* they have a position marked in that formation, assumes that position. Simple.
