Why are transports allowed to drop off troops at their target destination even after being routed? I'm getting really sick of 13000 Scandinavian troops obliterating my siege armies in Scotland because I intercepted their navy in the North Sea and they continue sailing unopposed - and unopposable! - into their ally Scotland's territory. Shouldn't they have to return to their home ports?

Did you have negative legitimacy or prestige? Are you certain that you had positive relations at the exact moment your king died?
I know that I had positive relations and legitimacy. But prestige might have been the problem. I will check for that, thanks.
Burgundy start with extremely good sliders for direct warfare and you should only meet them on the field of battle when outnumbering them 5:2 and if possible with defensive bonuses (as a rule of thumb, of course, you might also have good land battle sliders going, depending on nations) Another tactic is to wait for them to assault a fort and rush in a large army from nearby provinces (you must have one province between you and their siege for them to attempt an assault) This will increase the probability you will rout them due to morale - if you have a high Maneuvre rating on your general, you have a decent shot at wiping their army out when they reach their destination. If you are fighting in Switzerland, make sure you are on the defensive, as hilly terrain is punishing for attackers and cavalry.
Also, the military rating of the ruler is an indication over how good a general he might become if you chose that option, and not much else (in warfare). It doesnt help you in battles unless you have him as general. Early game, Shock and depending on playstyle, Mobility are key stats.
When beaten, a fleet will head to the nearest friendly port. Strictly speaking, this means they aren't continuing their mission; however, if their original target is the closest, from the point of battle, the distinction is academic. I raised this in one of the feedback threads for 5.2, but it is not going to change, per Johan.
How do you quickly find the capital of a large empire?
(I have been spending a lot of time searching for the capital of Persia, and the Fog of War doesn't make it any easier to find).

Go to the ledger screen (the little graph-like button on the bottom right of the screen), sort countries alphabetically then click on the word "Persia".
Could one use the Sprite packs on a Mac? On Gamersgate they are only available on "Windows Plattform" but i wonder if they aren't universal? Thanks!
Some people can't access the beta forum though, such as those who are "on probation".Very much so. It's on plain view in the beta forum.
When you want to dismantle HRE, you have to either ally, vassalize or control the capital of all the electors + the capital of the Emperor.
Is this feat required to be accomplished by a single nation, or can more nations participate in it? Ie. if some capitols will be occupied by me and others by my allies/vassals, can I still dismantle the HRE? Or, if some electors are already vassalized by somebody else, do I need to take ownership of them or can I leave them be?

Well something strange happened. There i was playing my own mod, and all of a sudden out of nowhere i get this mission to annex Bohemia. So im all merry about it, and i proceed to kick some Czech butts, which naturally, goes exactly as i planned, and then i reach the point where i enforce peace demands. So, Bohemia owned 10 provinces + it had 5 Silesian vassals. My war score was 100% (everything occupied) and my total war cost for annexation was like 146% or whatever, so i couldnt take it all in just one go, Bohemia was reduced to 2 province minor + 5 vassals. Anyway, as soon as i peace out Poland and Maissen attach Bohemia, kick its butt, and force it to release Sorbia, effectively leaving it as one province minor (Prague) + 5 vassals. In the middle of that war i get scared so attack them despite truce, occupy everything again, only to find out to my astonishment that i cant annex Bohemia. Im thinking "well maybe its some kind of vassal thing", so i make them cancel all vassals which effectively reduces Bohemia to a OPM. Then i attack them again despite truce, and occupy their only province, and i still cant annex them.
So, since i checked, double checked and triple checked - there are no ghost provinces - the only other explanation that i can think of, is that being emperor prevents them from being annexed.
I am running version 5.2 and i would appreciate if someone could give me a definitive answer.

I did some search but could not find any hard proof that being Empror prevents the country from being annexed - however there are multiple cases where people state this so there must be something behind it. maybe it's a "hidden feature" or something like that.
