Workers, Recruiting Workers

Has anyone else had difficulty recruiting workers? I have tried to recruit workers a couple time lately and nothing happens. My gold isn't used and I am using more gold than the minimum amount required. Any ideas?

I'm also having the same problem.
Only noticed it when I fell to spot 3 in the Kingdom Rankings, noticed Olorin has 15,667 workers, and wanted to recruit some myself to boost my score up again.

That's been a while already, but I hadn't reported it back then.

So I wanted to try and recruit a few more workers just to test the difference in output and score. I first tried 100,000 gold and got nothing so I bumped it up to 1,000,000 and figured I may get 100 workers or so but I got nothing. I decided to try 5,000,000 and got 40,000+ workers which was completely shocking. It seems there is no formula for this recruiting workers feature and there is no way to get rid of workers either so perhaps down the road it may be a good idea to scale the recruitment and have an ability to banish workers from your kingdom if necessary. If they made a bigger impact on your resources it would be worth it but doesn't seem to really matter if you have 3 or 3000 working.

Just some thoughts for when you are doing your upgrades to the game.

Thanks.

I'm also having trouble recruiting workers. I am in the 5th spot and everytime I try to recruit workers nothing happens and I have more than enough gold. So I know that's not the problem.

If gold isn't an issue just use the maximum with 9's and you will eventually recruit a lot of workers. If you need more resources just ask I have plenty to spare.
