What is the tiny box with numbers?

[Kobra]

I noticed on the map there are sometimes tiny flashing boxes with a number in them, usually 1. What do these mean? I'm new to the game and have not found this described in the instructions.

Thanks

Kobra,

It sounds to me that what you are seeing is an box in a fort or city designating a garrison or and army present. I may be misinterpreting what you're seeing but that's my take on it.

Yes , it's the number of armies you have in that structure. Move your mouse cursor on the structure and you can see the tooltip with the exact composition of the armies garrisoned.
