Help- Recuiting Bug?

Targa · #1 February 5th, 2004, 12:11 AM

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.

I didn't know that bug, but this is different. I take care not to drive the resources negative. Some more information- the issue comes up most frequently when I'm recruiting woodsmen- the archer type. I think they're 10 gold and 3 resources, so I can queue up about 6 or 7 usually in the province without going negative. I mostly play abyssians, and the woodsmen are a good missile unit since I can't make any.

The other night I was recruiting in 4 provinces, 2 castled, 2 not. My home province was doing fine, as was an Onyx amazon one. The woodsman province wasn't recruiting, neither was another random province I built a castle on.
