How do I load troops onto a fleet?

[ekolis]

The tutorial says I need to move the fleet into the harbor, select the army and the fleet, and merge them, but I can't seem to select both the army and the fleet at the same time...

First of, don't play tutorial, it's utterly broken.

There's no need to select both fleet and army at the same time, it's also impossible.

If you move your fleet into the harbor of a County where an army is standing, select the army and look for the right icon (an arrow pointing at a ship). Click on it, now select fleet and move it out of the harbor. Army should now automatically be onto the boats.

You can also tell your troops to get on a fleet that's in a sea tile bordering the County they are in (useful for when you don't have the right to take your fleet to the harbor because you are in someone else's County). It will however take longer to get your troops onto the boats.

Remember that one ship can carry up to a 100 men. If you have to few ships to transport your army, you'll have to split that army so that, at least one part the army, can get onto the ships.

Thanks :) Actually I'm playing the practice scenario - is that different from the tutorial? It was presented to me when I first fired up the game, so I figured I'd try it...

Sure, if you are new to the game it can help. Don't be surprised though if there are bugs. Paradox haven't checked or reworked their tutorials in ages.

Feel free to add me if you have more questions.

Thank you for the helpful information.

Okay, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong: My ships have a 5700 man capacity, they're all merged and they're at what looks like a port but still I can't move my troops onto the fleet!
UPDATED: I figured it out. There's an icon with a ship in the army's tab that you can click to embark

I decided to play the Tutorial again, the first time was several DLC ago. The Tutorial is better than it used to be! There are still bugs, but not as bad as before.
