On the screenshots, what are the three icon and number sets on the left top of the main screen, i have deduced that the icons on the right top represent stability, army size (or manpower?) and treasury, but what are the stack of boxes, ship and little mans head with numbers beside them?
Also how does supply work. Is that the number of thousands of men that can live off a province without attrition? why is the number sometimes red and sometimes green?
Is it at all possible to build up a supply surplus so you can attack into a low supply area, or is it basically that all armies MUST forage (ie live off the land) when fighting. That seems appropriate for the first 200 years of the game, but I thought that in the 1700's armies became very attached to a depot supply system and it wasnt until Napoleon unleashed them again that foraging became a widely used option again.
If you can come up with any new AARs it would be a great ease to us waiting here with baited breath. Also i thought someone said there was a Spanish AAR but i havent been able to find it anywhere.....
Is there any way for us to read the special Beta Testers forum without being able to post there? I can understand why you wouldnt want it cluttered with whining about when the game is going to be released, but it would be a great boon to be able to go read even the partial and abortive reports there, to get an idea of how the game has developed and what is possible, etc....
