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.

Flags are shown on my own  buildings. In order to see how many units are actually garrisonned I have to directly select that building. If flags are not historically accurate there could possibly be a different visual indicator for the game's sake.

For my own ships and siege engines, I have to select each of them to see what is actually on board, i.e. no flag or other visual indicator.

For adversary buildings (and ships, siege engines) I have no information at all (which is ok as part of the game I believe).

You can see flags on enemy buildings as well.

Oops! You are certainly right! Sorry for the confusion!

Funnily this was a topic on Reddit 16 days before OP as well:

There's an Issue for that on itea: #4581 (current title: Flags for all garrisonable buildings and units).
