Summary	0003826: Follow/escort order
Description	As per most RTS games, you could incorporate a follow/escort command. If one of your units right clicks on another, it will follow that unit around... if you wanted to get fancy, you could have right-click-follow be akin to regular right-click-move, and X-right-click-follow be 'escort', where it will generally follow the unit, but have freedom in moving to engage enemies. I wouldn't think this would be terribly hard to implement, but is there any demand for it? Personally, I remember missing it for my first half dozen games, and haven't thought about it much since. I do suspect it would get frequently used if added, though.
