Is one of the map filters(province name, attached provinces, castles and temples ect) capable of turning off army displays? I think you can turn arrows off too.
You probably hit one of the numeric buttons which turns on/off the map filters.

Thanks! That was it. Not sure how I managed to turn off that display, as I don't recall messing with the map filters. But however it occurred in the first place, the problem is now solved.
Strange feature though. Very hard to play when you can't see your armies or see where they are moving.
