Hi Mark, and welcome to the Org

Most of your questions have been covered, so this one I can expand on for you:

I click on the menu that shows generals and they're still appearing on that, but I can't see them or move them anywhere, so they're pretty useless. Again, any help with this one?
When you have this military parchment open you can click on a general's name and the game will zoom on to him - it also tells you the province/sea region he's in. It's a useful way to find missing generals And also remember they do die of old age and get replaced by younger men, so don't be surprised if the Doge of Venice is Luigi one year, and Enrico the next - it can make them hard to find if you're looking for the wrong name
