Help- Recuiting Bug?

[poisson_bete]

I have had this problem in 75% of the games I have played, regardless of race. In squares I own, including fortified squares other than my starting fortress (usually castle, but not important), I have intermittent recruiting problems. Here's the deal- I'll recruit some units. They show up in the purchased section at the bottom, it will dock me the gold and resources. I'll end the turn, host, and enter the next turn. There won't be any relevent events. There is enough supply in the province to support the additional units. Buildings (if required) will still be there. No surrounding territories were captured (possibly affecting resources). The units will still be in the build queue.

Sometimes, if I clear the queue, put the same units in, and proceed to the next turn, they will get made. Other times I have gone 5 or more turns before giving up on ever making units in that province. It has never happened in my starting square.

Any thoughts, suggestions, or advice on this issue?

That one confused me at first also. Most likely it's due to the "Holy" value in the recruiting screen. We tend to watch the resources and gold when recruiting, and don't look at that. Are you recruiting sacred units? Once you go over your allotted Holy amount, it puts them in queue to be recruited in subsequent turns.

Nope, not recuiting holy units. I should have added that in too.

Also if your unrest goes over 100% you cannot recruit. If you hover at the 100% level it can be a problem. Going over locks it but coming back down doesnt seem to move the queue again. I sometimes have to clear the queue and reselect, then they get made.

what? Gandalf??? You need to re-que? Never!... never had that problem........................................... ... that problem.... it doesn't exist....................................


I think your problem is there's a bug that if a province doesn't have enough resources to recruit 1 unit, it will never recruit the unit.

For example, if a calvary costs 30 resources and the availible resources is 15 the calvary unit won't get created in two turns... It will just never be created. THIS is a bug.


Edit: You guys gotta treat people as a non-newb first... then you can state the obvious stuff.

Edit2: Actually Gandalf, I have a habit of making sure I never go over the availible resources, but I don't remember having that problem when I did go over.

Actually I think that's intentional.
