One of these years, our more experienced Historical League players here should put together a simple FAQ/Tips Post that can get dragged from OOTPxx version to the next. Updated as needed given changes in the game.
There just is a ton in the game that is non-obvious / non-simple, and not always the best documents/explained in the manuals. I find myself always asking our gurus questions every few versions when I come back, and if I can't easily find answers via Mr. Searchy up in the corner. I feel like I'm being a pest sometimes when asking people.
Anway, an example of one of the things not always documented in the next post.
