Custom Only Option for Friends?

Interest in a future option for groups to join queues?

from Stardock Forums

I haven't had a chance to play this game online yet (other than friends vs AI games for learning) and I couldn't find a way for us to 'group' ourselves and join the skirmish or pantheon. If there is future changes to the game, just wondering whether others think it would be neat to have a group join option similar to an MMO battleground. That way instead of going custom or hoping that a 5v5 game will actually arrive (as from what I've heard most games are 2v2, which would make sense if only solo people can join skirmish and it tries to put games together quickly rather than wait) two groups of the right numbers could easily get into a large battle?

Group joins are already a planned feature for future updates :)

And hopefully when implemented it will be only groups versus groups and never a group join versus random players.

Yeah, Frogboy said once the connection stuff got fixed up he'd put up a pinned thread where we can all discuss exactly how we'd like it to work. There were already a few threads on how to do it, and I'd imagine most (myself included) would agree that premade groups should only be matched with other premade groups.
