Finally took plunge into campaign game. As English, high period.

Am overwhelmed by all the buildings I have and all that I can build. Any simple way to track this? Wessex alone starts with 14+ and I have to right click on each one to remember what it does.

In addition, having treasury issues. Does the cost of something not get deducted until the year it is completed? (i think so, but not sure)

thanks in advance for any tidbits or links to sites that map this out.

Dawg - You might find an early campaign easier to learn on but here are a few things I've picked up.
1. You must pay before you can play. All buildings and units are paid for up front.
2. Build mines and upgrade your farmlands early and often.
3. If a region gives you a unit bonus make sure to concentrate on building what you need to produce it.
4. Strike a balance between putting all your eggs in one basket and building everything everywhere. For instance, have a few regions concentrate on cav units but not to the exclusion of everything else. This is especially true with ships. I often will build up a marginal coast province just to supply the boats needed for trade routes without tying up troop production
Well that's a start.
