hey, i have 3 castles now in a game, the first one i took over doesnt have any barracks, but teh second one i took over had the starting 2 in it. but for some reason, i cant make those active! i built one in my original castle, so i have 3, plus the 2 that i took over with the last castle i took over, but it wont give me the option to make them active. it has been over 3 or 4 turns now. very agrivating, what should i do?
i dont have check boxes at all on my barracks. though it says max active is 5 (3 castles) and only 3 are active, the other 2 i have wont let me turn active. no check boxes, they just say currently inactive. what should i do?

Keep checking, everytime you log in. I ran into this problem and eventually got my final barracks into production. I'd have reported it in the bugs section but it seems that all bugs in this version, aren't important enough to be bothered with anymore!

Do you have a blacksmith, a training guild, and a military academy? If you lack one, I think it prevents the barracks from activating.

ya, i have all those...this drives me crazy!

I assume you updated barracks?

updated them? i have upgrades on my first three, like troops and wutnot, and advanced recruiting, but i havnt purchased anything on the two that dont work...

are they still damaged?

You need to push the update button to activate the new barracks

I had it in a camp a while ago..there was no box 2 select the barraks

i ended up riping them down

well, i took over a castle this turn, and bam! right after that, the barracks that wouldnt go active did! then i ripped it down. i just wanted to figure it out, it was too far away from anythign to be of any use, but whatever! i think it must be a bug. like i said, i had 3 active, and i could have had 5 active, cause i had 3 castles, but when i took my 4th castle, the 4th barracks became active. o well!
