Correct.

Left Battle Cluster  = West + North map-side mobs
Right Battle Cluster = East + South map-side mobs

Classifier:

if (cell.x < unit.x || cell.y < unit.y) {
	leftCluster.push(actor);
}

if (cell.x > unit.x || cell.y > unit.y) {
	rightCluster.push(actor);
}

Pincer check:

const hasOpposingHorizontal = west.length && east.length;
const hasOpposingVertical = north.length && south.length;

if (hasOpposingHorizontal || hasOpposingVertical) {
	formation = "Pincer";
}

So Battle Mode renders:

[West/North mobs]   [Player Unit line]   [East/South mobs]
If there is no pincer, left cluster if mostly west/north. Right cluster if mostly east/south

Correct.

Pincer:
- West + East, or
- North + South

No pincer:
- mostly West/North = Left cluster
- mostly East/South = Right cluster
const leftScore = west.length + north.length;
const rightScore = east.length + south.length;

if (hasPincer) {
	formation = "Pincer";
	leftCluster = [...west, ...north];
	rightCluster = [...east, ...south];
} else if (leftScore >= rightScore) {
	formation = "Left";
	leftCluster = [...west, ...north, ...east, ...south];
	rightCluster = [];
} else {
	formation = "Right";
	leftCluster = [];
	rightCluster = [...west, ...north, ...east, ...south];
}

Tie defaults to Left unless you want approach direction to break ties.

I'm at my dev box now, Apply all changes as a delta using the next serial, remember, no stubs and no Legacy support!



I’ll extract the backup, locate the Dungeon engine/editor files affected by actor loading, movement, Auto-Walk, and Battle Mode, then repack only changed files plus a README as the next C2 delta.

I found the battle code is already heavily delta-layered, so I’m applying this as a late-loading C2-67B runtime extension instead of rewriting the large core file. That keeps the delta focused and avoids dragging unchanged engine code into the patch.

Thought for 4m 19s

Done: C2-67B - GE - Dungeon - Actor Layer Cells Delta.zip

Validated zip, no stubs. Changed files only plus README.
