Hi Deanox - I had an STW w/o manual, but it was on disk instead.... suggest u look around the site here, loads of goodies to be had, patches, guides, downloads etc. Also check out Activision's own site. I can heartily recommend the guides by frogbeastegg, as well, also downloadable as pdf.

Playing as the English, the French are on the northen part of europe seperating my provinces, I don't know how to get my units from one province to another.
You'll kick yourself, but this game is so realistic - you need ships! And you have to occupy each sea region you want to cross. Luckily, as the English you should hold Wessex (unless those Frenchies are beating you up already) which should be well developed towards shipbuilding.

Good luck with the conquest!
