    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

    Hello again everyone, thanks for all your replies, they've been very helpful.

    I managed to find out that - whilst the port in Venice does not indicate any trade income - I can click on the expenses and income list and it says I'm getting 200-300 florins from Venetian trade. So it turns out that I do have quite a widespread and wealthy trade network after all.

    My biggest problem is the ships disappearing. I've tried clicking their names on the General List and it switches to a completely empty stretch of sea. There's not even visible enemy ships around in that area, so they're not hidden behind. It's like they only exist in name, they've totally disappeared otherwise.

    Oh, and I didn't know spies could do so much, I need to start churning them out, I've also discovered the awesomeness of emissaries and bribing armies! Got Navarre, Provence, Champagne and Flanders through it (I cheat by the way, shame on me ).

    It's really annoying how the idiot child is the oldest and inherits the throne before his genius younger brother!

    I might move up to normal difficult, I find easy hard enough though, and I've had the game for a few years now!

    You haven't been naming your ships "Marie Celeste", have you?

    That is a wierd one I've never seen or heard of before. Congratulations, you've discovered a new bug I'd love to know what's going on there.

    Hello again, about the ships: I could try get some pictures on them but I'm not sure how I'd portray them in screenshots.

    You haven't been naming your ships "Marie Celeste", have you?
    That would explain a lot, haha!

    I agree with your "pruning" methods, spies are good to try your heir for treason, worked well for me!!! In the same game, I witnessed my first civil war. I am the Italians and the Germans had just sent a crusade my way (I wasn't even excommunicated though, eh!?). Then the Holy Roman Empire tore itself in two, good news for my Italian forces, which would have been crushed by the German army.

    Unfotunately, the game crashed not long after, and I hadn't saved.

    Move to normal difficulty as fast as you can. Nothing better to hone your skills more than to face a new challenge. I was hesitant to, at first, to play at a higher difficulty as I was intimidated but believe me you'll soon learn and adapt and the game will be much more enjoyable.

    Here's a screenie of my problem with the disappearing ships. There should be two ships in the Spanish Coast region but, as can be seen, there's none.

    Say whut!?

    That's pretty messed up, I've never seen anything like that before.

    Maybe toggle off Fog of War? Shot in the dark, but it can't hurt.

    Thanks for the screenie - a quick question: are you playing a mod? I ask because your "Sahara" is a rebel colour on the minimap, whereas in vanilla it should be blank (non-playable). In which case I wonder if maybe your provinces might have got out of sync, somehow?* Also what happens if you press "v" - do the sea regions with "invisible ships" light up in the appropriate colour (ie green, unless it's shared with an enemy ship then it should be red)?

    Curiouser and curiouser

    * also if this is the case you can expect some of the land provinces to be messed up in the Middle East

    Thanks for getting back so fast.

    I dunno what Fog of War is though , fill me in perhaps?

    Also, I have no mods at all installed. As far as I know, I'm playing the 'vanilla' version. I noticed the Sahara before too, you can't invade it and there is never any armies there. When I type in the .conan. cheat to take the rebels side I can't play as them. Pressing 'v' doesn't light up the screen though.

    While I can't really help with the curent problem, the port shows import (aka others trading with you) and the merchant shows export (your trade).
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Okay, thanks for the help everyone. I reinstalled but it still happens so I might try without .matteosartori. although I'll miss knowing everything about everyone.
