Loading ships... I don't quite get it.

[Jim2001]

Now that I'm producing Frigates & Gallions (in massive numbers), I'm having trouble understanding how to load men & equip. into them. If I have several ships and several men in one city, how can I tell what and how many are actually there? How do I load the ship if I cannot tell what all is on that square at a given moment? Hmph!

I found the best way to load ships is to send them out on space into the Ocean. Then move the units onto them.

Right click a square gives you a list of what is in that square. As for multiple ships in the same square ... I don't know what happens.

right click on the city. The listing should including something like

activate frigate ...
wake Galley ...
Wake Knight in Galley...
Wake Settler
.
.
.

By selecting an unit you can now control it if it has any moves left this turn. If you want a unit (say the Settler) to join the frigate just select him from the list to wake him up, then press L (for Load). It will ask you which ship you want to load him on.
