As per my proposal on the mailing list: http://lists.cifrid.net/pipermail/ufoai/2008-February/000260.html

I believe this grouping can be used for various useful things to spice up RMAs. For one thing, it could be used to make more complex assemblies without adding load to the assembly algorithm by fixing groups to specific coordinates. The same effect can currently be achieved by duplicating assemblies, but we really need these groups for readability.

Note that the way I imagine it, groups get evaluated before the random map assembly occurs. So even if the assembly algorithm fails to find a good map at first, it should retry with the SAME group evaluation.

this is already implemented with the "tilesets" feature

Yes - closing this for that reason.
