HOW DO YOU USE CONVOYS!!!

[The King in Yellow]

i have like 70 in storage, theres no load / unload button that i can see any where...i cant take them out of storage...i need to land troops...♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

They are automatic. When your troops need to move across the sea the amount of convoys they need to transport them are used automatically. The convoys that are needed for your trade are used automatically.

[xScaramouchx]

They are automatically used when you transport troops across water, plan naval invasions, and trade for resources across water.

[Golix]

You can only land marines troops in enemy territory, convoys would get attached auto.
If its a simple transport between ur empire, you have to go to a Dock to be able to transport them

so i cant move infantry and tanks unless they are marines? and even then only to other dockyards???

You can't move anything but Marines (or paratroopers) into enemy territory across the sea without first establishing a beach head at a port. Then once you hold a port you can move any army dvision you want across the sea to that port.

But myarmy is stuck. It says in red "Unit unable to move to a province along its path". When i hover my mouse over Conveys, it says "For naval invasion battle plans: 12/12" needed or used.

Why aren't they getting the conveys to move for the invasion, what am I doing wrong?

It emans you already have 12 tied up in other invasions. Upgrade your tech to get more.

There are two criteras for an invasion to launch.

1. Have the required amount of convoys.
2. Have a minimum of 75% control of the sea zone in which the invasion takes place.

First of all Naval Invasions are buggy.

Second you need to control every sea zone between you and the target.

Sorry, maybe i wasn't clear. I had hundreds of unused convoys, I was pretty sure that the 12 was indicating to that invasion that I was planning (but nothing happens)

I already have control of the sea zone, and my ships are on patrol (in fact if i don't have that, I would get a message in red advising so, which clears out once i send my ships out).

However, meeting both requirements it still says that Units unable to move...etc. With a yellow exclamation mark.

I am playing Italy btw, continuing after the tutorial. So I tried the same thing, this time on another country using different ports, and it instantly worked.

I am not sure if it is really bugged, or if something else was at play.

i was able to send tanks across the ocean and do a landing on an enemy dockyard just by using the battle plans. no marines. there was a fight and every thing

I think there is a cap on how many units you can have preparing and launching naval invasions. I guess it is to represent lack of landing craft. idk.
