Keeping track of units??

It also helps to have Ctrl+N on, this way you won't have to look for your armies and agents hidden on the map :)

You can always right click on your agents tab in strat map view to see a complete list of all diplomats, assassins and agents you own, and their location and attributes. You can do the same on the army tab to see all your military forces, units in transit and garrisons, their commanders, their locations, and their strengths.

Agent-wise I like to create a network of spies across my lands, and any lands I intend to invade or which seems to be attacking me. Hence I have between twenty and thirty spies spread out across my Roman Republic as mobile watchtowers, and ten diplomats in the same way. That way I don't have to worry about where my spies are because wherever I look or am, there will always be a spy on hand for me to deploy where I need him, be he deep in Arverni territory, or at the frontier with Makedonia.
