Hi gdbowen, and welcome to the forums! :)

You can find info about how to create divisions here: http://www.ageod.net/aacwwiki/Division#Creating_divisions

Note that it isn't possible to create divisions at the start of the grand campaign; you might have to wait a bit if that's where you are in your game.

I have the general selected I have him as a Division Commander, I hold the controll key and then select units but the + button never lights up. I am playing the tutorial.

Thanks

gdbowen - If possible could you do a screen shot? If you have selected the "Enable Divisional Command" button from the screen, you should be able to combine units into the division. Without a screenshot, I can only speculate on some common errors.

1. Is the unit you are trying to put in the division locked (has a padlock icon over it)? These are static and/or event based units. If they are not yet active, you can't move them or put them into a division.

2. Make sure you don't have any non combineable units in there. Sometimes in my Control click frenzy I actually click on another general and it won't let you combine.

One more thing...

The division will only accommodate 18 total "elements" (including the leader). So that means you can build a division that will contain up to 17 elements. These elements are a combination of infantry, cavalry, artillery, etc.
