I have noticed that once you go to sea. If you look at the army info under the information tab where it shows the location of each unit in the army .... it is blank.  Will this eventually tell us which sea a unit is in or will it always be blank?

right.. sailing back to D'hara the long way... (all the way west, south, then up middle)... as opposed to going through the channel.. because you can't go through the channel from up there.)

You could land and cross the small patch by land and then embark again.

Which was basically what people did back in the days to cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in Nicaragua.

Gives those who own that little isle control over sea traffic. Seems reasonable, given how narrow the passage is and that land travel is unimpeded by it.

Sea trip from Aegir's Deep to Chesland uses exactly 100% of provisions and takes 4 real time days without starving troops perfectly.

but there is no margin for error in travel. must move on time or will run out of provisions.

I love the new sea routes. It will make war so much more real.

QuoteYou are currently between Raviel (Townsland, D'Hara) and Port Raviel (City, D'Hara).
You should arrive there in about 4 hours, i.e. at the next turn.
Things you can do:
scout ahead to see what awaits you at your destination
turn around to return to Raviel.
Misdirection - deceive the enemy, stay here instead.
Choose a next destination:
Golden Farrow (Kabrinskia), ferry, 656 miles, 33 hours
Paisly (Provincia di Fiorenza), ferry, 266 miles, 13 hours
Port Nebel (D'Hara), ferry, 164 miles, 8 hours

What happens if I set the next destination? The game shouldn't show me that.

The old ferry routes don't exist anymore, do they? It should say:

They still exist. I said that they would stick around for a while before I clean them out.
