Leader will not create army!

[RedTopJay]

For the 1st time I have a leader that will not let me create an army. I have moved Barbarossa from city to city and he will only offer to hurry production. Is this a bug?

There can only be 1 army for each 4 cities you have. You must have more armies than that, which is almost never exceeded. Try building some more cities and see if that works.

Thanks Sulla for reminding me. I only have 2 cities. I just need to build 2 more.

Thanks! That's quite interesting - I'd never noticed that before.

The Question does still remain....how did you get a great leader with just two cities?

Hey Iv'e gotten a GL before in the ancient times........I think I had only 2 or 3 cities.

It happens within 11 elite victories about half the time, so it's not surprising at all if he has elite units. Sometimes it takes longer than 20 tries.

Or, He was at war, and lost the other two cities. After he got the leader.
