Also, clicking/double-clicking on a name of in one of the Lists will *highlight* anc center the screen upon that, Agent, Province, or Unit.

Sword Icon: This brings up a list of your generals, their star ratings and the number of men in their stack. I say 'stack' but this can also mean single units.

On the economy screen:

In vanilla MTW you get a list of your provinces and the sea zones you have ships in but it's sorted alphabetically, including the sea zones. The result is a cludgy mix which you have to scroll through to find what you need to know.

In VI, this is much improved. All the provinces are alphasorted at the top, so you can quickly see how much income they generate and the maintainance cost of its garrison. The sea zones are neatly sorted down at the bottom of the list, so all the ship maintainance costs are collected together and easier to total up.


The 'double parchment' I referred to earlier is not, in fact, obtained by clicking on the province. As was stated by ichi, click the coins icon to bring up the economy screen, click on the name of the province in the list and, if trading is going on, you will see the extra parchment.

Something I only found out recently is that, when you do open up a province info parchment, clicking on the name of the governor centres the map on his location, which is handy if you like to keep yours on the move, instead of 'at home'.

Now, if only there was a list of unit leaders, sorted by acumen rating....

Hint for Byz trade out of the big C:
You have three trade goods here and stand to make a packet. Get a unit leader with at least acumen 4, make him Governor of Constantinople. Strip titles of the exiting holder, if need be. Build a Royal Palace *anywhere* in your empire. Assign the 'Constable of the Palace' title to the Gov of Constantinople, for an extra 2 acumen feathers. This represents around a 60% boost to both farm output and trade. That's a bigger increase than you'll get by upshifting from trade post to merchant, under a crappy governor. It's still 1000 for the palace, but before long, the boost will mean you'll be able to afford another 1000 on top, for the merchant.
