(reported) Cannot train troops because of missing citizens

  • Before I start, please do NOT move my thread again into "Recruited less troops as requested", because this is NOT the same issue.


    I play on server RO Lips.

    The issue is that we cannot train troops, where the required number of citizens for that specific type unit is greater than 1.

    The issue comes from the fact that, on that server, the number of required citizens for terrestrial army is less than on a normal server.

    For example, in order to train 1 Steam Giant we only need 1 citizen instead of 2.


    Next, in my screenshots, you can see that even I have 79 spare citizens in my town, I cannot train 50 Steam Giants, which only require 50 citizens:



  • Did you pull citizens from the mine and / or academic, sometimes that is where they citizens are. In your town but busy somewhere else.

  • Make sure, that the amount of wood is equals or higher then sulfur, otherwise you can only train a specific amount of troops (in this case: 870 wood = 870 sulphur can be used)!


    So only 15 Balloon-Bombardier can be used for training...

  • Same thing happens to me, it works with ships too. I had to remove a ton of workers from the mines in order to queue anything.
