Not possible to recruit in foriegn regions?

[dantaeuk]

I know it will take longer to recruit units in foriegn regions but my situation is far to extreme.

I am silvan eleves and have taken a goblin city in the mountains.
I have 40% + culture and buildings that can recruit soldiers.
Yet on recruitment page it doesent even show me a unit card at all, not even greyed out to imply i need more culture or population.

Will i ever be able to recruit outside my own settlements? how can i change this? is there code i can edit for this?

Because it ruins the game.
Thanks

Probably you need more than 40% to recruit most of your units. For Arnor's units it takes above 50% for most of them.

For Silvan Elves the porcentage of culture needed for basic units is for Infantry:15 % for Silvan Spearmen; 25 % for Forest Wardens; 60 % for Heavy Silvan Spearmen - for archers: 30 % for Light Elven archers; 40 % for Sentinels of the Woodland Realms - for mounted units: 60 % for silvan horse archers.

That is, of course, if you have the right buildings. Remember that a village can not recruit any unit; a town can only have the first tier of foot soldiers building; a large town can have the second tier of infantry, the first of archers and the first of mounted soldiers. (sometimes starting towns also have an advance building that should not have... like Cerin Amroth is a town and has an archers buildings or Caras Galadhon has the second archers building when its a large town...)

Anyways, what Orc city have you conquered? is it a town? a village? a Castle? what recruiting buildings do you have? name them... I find it very odd that you can not recruit when having 40 + % of culture...

P.S.: Also, for all this numbers I posted you can check on your city's card, where it says "show building browser" its down, next to "ask advisor..." and "show details" buttons. There you can see each recruiting building details, culture needed, etc.

That's strange. I'm playing Silvan Elves at the moment and am able to recruit in all Misty Mountain towns. It took some time, though, due to culture requirements, town growth, and finally - and most frustratingly - the long time before a recruitable unit becomes available. Horse archers were especially painful as it took twenty turns after meeting all other requirements (in all cities, though, not just in conquered ones).
