Introduction

So if you guys spent a couple of hours in kenshi, you all probably know how PAINFUL it is to handle group travelling in this game, especially when you are adopting a "Trader" gameplay,

-you can choose to follow the slowest member of your group, but its always so annoying when this guy is just a katana soldier with no strenght points, and that you already configurated everything to have your guard following the one carrying all the stuff, and that you have to configure it AGAIN just for one travel WHERE YOU HAVE JUST FIKJESJOF 2 PIECES OF BREADS TO SELL

-you can also select everyone, to click on the map where you want to go and use theses arrows above inventory to select the option for everyone to walk at same speed (in case you didn't even know its okay i also didn't in 100hrs of gameplay) its fast when your group is stacked and cool for short range travel but the thing is guards won't protect your caravan if you get attacked, and the pnjs will just collide themselfs...

HERE IS MY SOLUTION

A SIMPLE SOLUTION THAT WILL ALLOW EVERYONE TO FOLLOW, AND ALSO WILL ALLOW THE GUARDS TO ACTUALLY PROTECT THE MERCHANT AT THE SAME TIME
THE GUIDE :

Guide

0: Make sure you have "passive" unchecked for all of your guards,

1: tell them to bodyguard & follow the merchant, now grab the merchant(s) ONLY, and point on the map the city you want to go, the guard will follow the merchant,

2: now you just have to shift + click (or use select all if you made a whole squad for this like a smart guy) all the peoples involved in the travelling, and use the arrow above inventory to have them following at the same speed (the icon has two guy on it)

3: if its already on this cause you previously just made a travel this way, make sure you move the arrow away from "same speed" and then put "same speed" back, overtwice your merchants won't be waiting your guards.

the only annoying point is the merchant continuing to move when the caravan is attacked and the guards are defending, if someone has a solution to have merchants just stop moving when there is a fight, i'll be happy to know how.
