Yes, and I think it's still around in some form. I remember trying to build an indy knight in a province with very low production and every turn, the production would reset and he would not be any farther along. I thought it was intentional game design, though.

I believe you'll find that, although the display shows the same negative number each round, that's only a display bug, and after the required number of rounds, the unit is produced, even though it still had the same negative number the round before it comes out as the round you started.

another question....what is the short cut key to remove the info boxes? like the box in the upper left corner, and the end turn, options, map filters, ect ect, and the province info, army set up, mercs, and recruit units boxes...

In other words...how do I show JUST the map?

Thanks

Chris

#1) You want the score graphs. They display a lot of things; among them, a graph to show "who's who" in the wide world of real-estate. Locate the score graphs under statistics.

#2) No idea. I'm not even aware this is possible. The "?" key is used to view most hotkeys, though.

#1 If you didn't enable (or disabled, I don't think which one is the default) Score Graphs when creating the game, you can't change the setting any more. It shows number of provinces, income, gem income, etc etc for each nation in the play, from turn 1 forward.

#2 I don't think it's possible.

I have the score graphs....but maybe it is another setting within that setting that I didn't realize....

as far as the short cut key....I could swear I stumbled upon it a week or two ago....oh well, maybe not, just seems like I did (and this is the only game I have been playing for a couple weeks)...

At any rate, thanks for the help...

Chris

ok...I have looked at it again....even set up a new game to check the settings....

I cannot find anywhere where it tells me the number of provinces each nation has. I see the graph, but that doesn't say that Ulm has 15, while C'tis only has 8 (or whatever, just using an example).

Setting up the game, I only see the option to turn graphs on or off....not to allow the to see the number of provinces.

The reason I am asking about this....in one of the AAR's I was reading (MP game), I was seeing that the host (I am going to assume it was the host) was listing the number of provinces each player had at the ending of the last turn....

You can't tell the number of provinces via the graphs, but you _can_ tell how close someone is getting to winning - the line across the appropriate score graph indicates the threshold for winning.

As far as seeing the exact number of provinces, they're probably getting that from the debug or log file, which I believe has to be turned on via a command line argument.
