[Unwise]

Characters don't show up on the map as icons, but the map does provide some limited data on the size and composition of your army.

If a province has a force in it, a blue box will appear near the base of the banner.

The larger the force, the larger the box.

If one or more leader/characters is in the province, the box will have an "X" in it, automatically leading many of us to think "infantry".

Right-clicking on the province will then display the leaders along the left-hand side as normal.
