To the far right of the command interface is a semitransparent mini-map. This view does not show hills or other terrain features so it is up to you to position your troops effectively. Each troop type you have has a different color as do allies and enemies.

You can move your troops about using the map. Simply click anywhere on it to set a gather point (the same as the "hold position!" command), and a flag will appear on the mini-map to mark the spot. By default, all troops will follow the same gather point; you can select and deselect the check boxes on the party commands section to choose what troop types will gather, which allows you to set multiple gather points. Allied troops have no gather point flag and are not under your control | You can move your troops about using the map.
