Good Day All, this is my first topic posting, so please be gentle with me

I have a problem (actually, I have several, but only one is on-topic http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif)
I'm playing as the English in a VI installed campaign, it is about 1195 and for the past decade or so the troop building queue for Mercia has been frozen. I didn't make a note of when it happened, because I didn't notice at first (there was a lot of troop building going on).
I can add whatever I like to the queue and remove it again, but nothing gets built, it just sits there. Building are built as usual, and troop building seems to work in every other province that I own (haven't tried them all, some can only build units I don't want).
Cash is definately NOT the problem, I'm rolling in it and building fortresses left, right and centre.

Has anybody else encountered this? Is there anything I can do?

Haven't run into this one myself.

I would suggest clearing the que in all other provinces and then try to build something in the frozen province.

You might also want to try repairing a damaged unit in the que.

If neither of those work, start a new campaign.

yeah,sometimes if you build enough your money goes to zero through the build time then goes back up again and so you always have money but not by the time you get to that province.

If that isn't it then its a bug. maybe if you lose control of the province then regain it?

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately...

My cash has not gone back round to zero.
I've tried clearing all troop building queues elsewhere (for two years) but still no go.
Adding damaged units to the building queue makes no difference, I can add and remove units to/from the queue, but still nothing gets built.
I'll try to provoke a rebellion in that province, may get some Sherwood Foresters out of it too

I'd rather not restart the campaign, it is only one province after all.

Has nobody else ran into this one?

And you are sure that you're not getting the message that not everything could have been build since you ran out of money at the end of the turn? Another long shot, but are you maybe trying to recruit mercenaries? If so, they don't get built, you have to click on the hand icon in the left lower corner, and they'll be available immediately. If it's the regular troops, and you are not getting the message about the lack of money, then I don't know why.
