i do have a lot of nice symbol buttons `~!@#$%^&*()_-=+'";:/?>.<,/*-
the mounted units should be able to move further fowards but there side movement should be restricted
also reduced attack defense if hit from behind
or have to turn around to attack retaliate

I don't know how it's like in heroes 4, but in h3, no creature can be attacked from behind, they turn around.

A bit off-topic, but wouldnīt it be cool if, for example, rogues had a bonus towards damage done when hitting enemy from behind?? Also, it would be cool if the attacked stack wouldnīt turn and retaliate..
This would be stupid with huge stacks, though..

So how about they only get that bonus when the group is less than, say, 10?

Maybe, otherwise it would be really stupid if 237 rogues attack 450 swordsmen from behind without being seen..
But when you think, even some of the original creatures have this kind of specialties, like few basilisks stoning a big army of other creatures etc. The whole stack is being petrified so itīs kinda same if that backstabbing ability affects the whole army without any limits.

I think that the backstabbing ability should always work. However, the no retaliation would be limited. Hmmm. I could post a huge thing on how to make it very realistic, but I'd rather not. Heroes is a strategy game, so why unbalance it just to make it realistic?

Quite right. The H3 game engine doesn't support facing.

Yeah, a whole stack functions a lot like a single creature: place occuped, spells & abilities, retals, Hydra/El/Cerberi attack, etc...
