How to know ship has garrisoned units

[WordenKalita]

Is there a way to tell if a ship has garrisoned units? TIA

Hi and welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, the  only way I am aware is to actually select the ship and see the garrisoned number of people. There has been multiple suggestions to modify that so it will be addressed.

That's for own ships? What about enemy ships?

Used to be you could see the (arrow) stats and know what's up, but that has been changed.

Good question! I just don't know . Similar to enemy towers, fortresses, garrisons etc. as well as siege engines. Own Buildings have a flag on top - select it to find out how many are garrisoned. Own siege engines don't have a flag and - like ships - you would have to select the unit in order to see if and how it is garrisoned. 

For enemy structures this is always a surprise IIRC.

Flags are anachronical in plenty of situations given the time period, but I wonder up to where historical accuracy is wanted. It’s interesting that one can see if fortifications are garrisoned, but not if ships are… which is usually the exact opposite of reality.
