I love this game I've started a campaign as the Dutch, I'm having one minor problem I sometimes can't seem to merge ships to other fleets, is this a bug or am I seriously doing something wrong.

any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks.

If your talking about that fleet you start off with in the Philipeens (sorry for spelling) than your right because it is seriously bugged.
From my experience trying to move the fleet around or taking out ships causes it to stop working as in,
it doesnt produce trade anymore,
you cant merge ships with it,
and worst of all you cant move it.
If its any other fleet than it might be something else

i've had that happen before... had to scupper the ships....

guys, unit size != number of units in a stack.... unit size = # of men in a unit (100 - 120 - 150 - 200)

no that fleet is fine it happens when I merge two fleets, I can move most of the ships over but there's always one that will not transfer over,

Your fleet stack (as your army stack), can only contain 20 units.

You are absolutely sure that the total number of fleet units that you are trying to merge are not above 20 ?

yes It just happened again tried joining 4 to a fleet of 8 two will not transfer, really strange I have fleets everywhere and one or two solo ships next to them,

ok last poster may have hit it on the nail, I'm playing on normal unit size is it still 20 stack even at normal.

less, if you've got smaller than ultra unit sizes.

(at least for me. i don't believe it's a darth mod thing.)

they're six for me on normal, iirc.

it's the reverse for boats. a given rate ship will always have the same number of crew and guns regardless of unit size setting; instead, you can fit fewer per fleet.

I think the only times fleets get stuck are when:

1. merging/unmerging fleets while on a trade node
2. arriving in a theatre on top of another fleet

If it happens as in 1. above, simply don't merge and unmerge fleets while on a trade node. Move your fleet off to the side of the node before doing any merging or unmerging, then move the fleet back onto the node when you're done. Works for me.

If they get stuck in another fleet, the only option is to scupper them, sadly.

thank you all I just noticed on normal settings depending on fleet makeup I never get a 20 stack, the bar next to my flags fills up at 8 or 12, thank again now I feel a little silly.
