1.sometimes when I click on a stack, certain regions surrounding it turm blood red. What does this mean?
2. I want to raid enemy territory, how do I do this. The option doesn't appear to be available (blanked out or not) in any of the 3 special tabbed 'button banks' at the bottom of the window
3. how to see the status of a city (ie. has depot? has fortifications? ) when it has a stack covering its icon?
4. I ordered a cavalry brigade into the next region to take over an unattended enemy supply wagon but nothing has happened. It has been literally sitting on top of the wagon for 2 turns now yet the wagon is still flying an enemy flag. What have I missed here?
5. I used two wagons to build a supply depot. Is there any reason for there not to be a visual reminder on the map that a depot was build in that region?

thanks,
Doug

1) Means you can't move there because of enemy ZOC.
2) There is no option for raiding. You just need to move your unit into enemy territory. If you want to assault a structure you need to have the assault button (red, not orange) clicked. Moving into regions where you have less than 6% military control will automatically set your force to attack (orange) posture.
3)hover the cursor over the structure and the tooltip will appear giving you all the useful information about the structure.
4) Are you set to offensive or assault posture?
5) If the region was empty you should see a new depot structure there. If you built in a city the icon will be in the centre of the city and hovering the cursor over the city will show you the depot level in the tooltip.
