Problem recruiting mercenaries for my army

[Gregorovitch]

In Drezen, looking at my army tab I can recruit my new weekly allowance of footmen and archers, which I've done. I also have two batches of mercs supposedly available, some clerics and some Hellknights, displayed in the lower left panel under the standard troops. I click on these mercs and I get a popup with a big fat "Recruit" button I can click. I have sufficient finance points on hand. Everything looks good. But I click the button and exactly nothing happens. The recruit button looks activate, it's not greyed out or anything.

Why can't I hire these mercs?

If the army you are recruiting onto is maxed out usually 3/3 (can be more with a general) then it won't let you recruit troops. Move your armies off drezen then recruit.

Oh, I think I've got you.

You mean I take it that you will always have an army on the right of the screen and it must either a) already have a stack of the same unit type the new mercs can be added to or b) have spare slot available to create a new stack in.

I think I might have had this happen before on the road to Drezen but didn't remember this one

Sounds right. And if you moved all your armies off of drezen you would just be creating a new army because zero of the slots on the right would be filled.
