Forts are not recruiting

[Mystic XXII]

I seem to be having an issue with forts not recruiting infantry and archers.

I am playing Behdet and I have:

1. Built a recruiter
2. Crafted and imported weapons
3. Built infantry and archery forts

The forts all have zero men and when I click on the recruiter it says that they are not training new soldiers because there are no requests for troops from any forts.

What am i doing wrong? This didn't happen in Timna. I have tried moving the recruiter around and placing forts in various parts of the map and no luck.

That sounds like a bug. If the recruiter has road and labor access they should start working if any fort still needs soldiers. Stupid question: you sure the forts you placed are not full already? Never had that issue, did you place a fort at a road to check if the description 'doesn't need road access' might be wrong?

[Mystic XXII]

Yep, I'm sure. Zero soldiers at any of them and when the enemy invades I lose the game. I reloaded Timna just to see if it was bugged there and had no problems recruiting soldiers, just in Behdet.

Last thing I can think off is labor, do you have unemployed residence? Not sure if that is actually needed though.

Did you block the Street? Recruiter need a free Road to Citizen Houses.

Unless you have toggled worldwide workforce on (I like this QoL change).

Great questions. I moved the recruiters to a few places and I have global recruiting selected.

I moved the academy near to the houses and it works, I think global recruiting is not working with that building.

Good to know :) Thanks

Save and Load worked for me

On some maps the forts need to be very easy access from the recruiter. So I usually build recruiters as close as possible to forts, otherwise the buggy ass game cannot path correctly if they have to cross water, bridges, etc.

Hit F3 to go to the Overseer of Commerce and make sure weapons are not set to 'stockpile'.

Go to the storage yards that have the weapons and make sure they're not set to 'get all'.
