is the subject of naval transportation. When
you wish to move an army across any body
of water, you will require the services of your
fleet. In particular, you must provide a suffi-
cient number of naval transports to move each
regiment of the army across the seas.
Each transport ship is able to accommodate
only one regiment of soldiers, so you will need
to have a fleet that includes at least as many
transports as regiments you wish to move. Po-
sition your fleet in a sea province that is im-
mediately adjacent to the coastal province that
your army occupies. Now select your army and
right-click on the fleet. Your army will begin
boarding the fleet -- which will take some pe-
riod of time - and will disappear from the map
once the process is complete. A second flag will
then appear on top of your fleet to serve as a
reminder that there are troops on board.
If you select the fleet, you will be able to see
the army being transported as an extra tab dis-
played at the right end of the fleet’s summary
bar. The tab indicates the number of armies
and total number of regiments being transport-
ed. Click on the tab if you wish to review the
exact composition of the army.
You may now move the fleet to wherever
you intend to transport the army. If you begin
moving the fleet before the army has finished
boarding, the army will cancel its movement.
If you select a friendly coastal province with a
port as your destination (a province that your
fleet is normally allowed to enter), the army
will automatically disembark from the fleet as
soon as it has entered the harbour.
If you do not have access to the province to
which you want the army to move, you should
select an adjacent sea province as the fleet’s
destination. When your fleet arrives there,
you should then select the army by clicking its
tab, and then right-click on the province into
which you want it to disembark. This unload-
ing process will take some time, and if there are
any hostile forces in the destination province,
