Labor/Builder imbalance

[d3Sync]

There is something strange going on in my game.

As I get more villagers, my laborer count keeps rising. However, no matter how many more builders I add to my workforce, my laborers go up and my builders go down.

Right now I have only roads to be upgraded. I have my builders set to 10. But the game has forced my builder count down to 1. Why? have several dozens of roads to upgrade. Why is my game ignoring my builder requests? How the hell am I ever going to upgrade my roads in a reasonable time frame with one single builder?

And yes, I do have more than enough laborers. I have 20. So it should be balancing them out, right? It almost seems like the game doesn't recognize roads as building objects. The reason I say this is because if I upgrade a building, or build a structure other than a road, my builder count immediately shoots up to where I have it set to. Then it drops back down to nothing after it's done. Meanwhile, my entire city district has roads under construction.

The game set the builder limit for the jobs at hand. So even if you have it set to 20, if there is only building enough for 1 builder, it will drop the builder count down to one.
Seems like if you have a lot of roads upgrading, there should be more than one builder active. Maybe its the amount of available resources? Just enough resources to have one builder working? And, its EA, so it may just be bugged. Might try a reload.

At times the game only assigns no builders to walls/roads, why? Nobody knows, the devs are working on balance.

I just had about 300 fences ordered, the game assigned nothing even though I had plenty of everything. It took about 4 seasons and then all of a sudden all fences were actually built rather quickly. Remember that 1 builder is always on, it´s a minimum requirement, so because you see one builder it doesn´t actually mean he is doing something.

I think sometimes the game waits until all materials are in place for a long road or fence and only then does it assign more builders. I am not sure how it works. My wall around the town center got built almost immediately ... so ... I can only speculate.

I tried to reload the game. No luck. All of my builders have now started to completely ignore roads. They won't even build new ones.

Hope there is a hotfix soon. This issue makes the game completely unplayable.

Getting the resources to the build site is probably the reason.
