could this be a motivation to showing garrisonned troops on the upper deck? (symbolically- not true numbers)

What exactly was changed? What are the improvements?

Hello Aldebaran and welcome to the community! It's great you and your friends like to play multiplayer. To let you get the best help, would you please post screenshot of the error message? Maybe it's something about special characters like ´`' …

But what would be the UI/UX of it ? It's quite visible in land fights when troops are trying to capture a building, how do you want to do it in naval warfare ? Where the garrison isn't visible on the map ?
