No weapon production. why?

[Benzin]

Playing as the "good guys", i have tons of wood, iron and people. I build 4 bow workshops and 4 spear workshops (sorry dont recall their in game names).
They are all close together near the armory and warehouse. But still no weapons are being produced! i can train bowmen or pikemen because there arent any weapons. I end up buying them on the market.

Any idea of what i could be doing wrong?

thanks!

Have you proofed if the way to the armory, the workshops or the store is blocked by anything?

Currently i have no other idea what the reason for this could be, maybe i had other ideas later, sorry.

Edit: Try to click at one of your weapon smiths. When you click on people there is a text with thair name and what they doing now. The text contains things like is working or wait for something. Maybe you could figure out why they dont work by this way.

Thank you for your answer.
Yes i make sure the path between the armory, smiths, and stockpile is clear. And i place them close together. But only very few weapons are produced. Sometimes none.
I dont know whats wrong :(

I will take a screenshot of my castle and post it here, maybe you can see something wrong.

thanks!

Maybe im not building enough weapon production buildings?
How many of each type do you usually build?

It depends on the place which is available and how quick i will need the weapons. Mostly i build 4 to 8 of the production buildings for the troops i will use but its not as quick as you buy the weapons.

Thanks,
You mean 8 buildings per type of weapon (e.g. 8 for bows, 8 for spear, 8 swords, etc), or 8 total?

Yea i meant 8 per type but you only can make this if you can manage your population number. But most time if i build 8 i use a small unit variaty. For example only archers and spearman because otherwise it needs to many peasents i mean 32 only for swordsman and crossbowman is not possible on each map or if your economy dont let you spend so much peasents.

When i build 4 than i build 4 for bows, 4 for swords, 6 to 8 for armors when i will build pikes and so on.

But if all those is not possible i build what ever is possible in that situation and have to buy some additional weapns if i used all pruduced ones and have a quick need of troops for defending or something.

It seems i finally got rid of this problem. I wasnt building enough weapon production buildings.

I tried building more of each (depending on how much space i have available) as adviced, and now i have weapons to spare! :)

EDIT: Another factor that seemed to help speedup production, was placing the buildings, the stockpile and armory very close together. So the workers dont have to travel too far to get the materials and store the finished weapons.

thanks for the help guys!
