Hello i am getting frustrated with the release of Settlers 3 as i can´t build any weapon to recruit soldiers. I have ore, coal, the melting house and enough people and two tool-making houses. But both wont build any swords, bowes or pikes. it doesnt matter if I activate an urgent build or not. They are are building normal tools promptly as soon as I click to build one but no weapons. Is this part of the copy protection from this game as I heard the developers integrated issues to cracked game copies? And no my game version is not illegal. I owned it 3 days ago from GOG. I tried building weapons in the tutorial as well as in the campaign without luck :(

When installing first the game asked for a serial so I installed it again with the offline installer. This worked but now I am hanging on with this issue ...

Building weapons is done in a blacksmith; not the tool building house. It's a completely different building.

sorry for this - I choosed the wrong word. It is the blacksmith which i built and normally I should be able to build weapons there but it doesn´t.

Got the same problem. Any solutions?

Did you have the correct tool for a settler to work the building?

One big issue is if you have toolsmith higher priority and automated tools then you may get very little or no weapon production as you don't get any supplies at the weaponsmith.

Also, you need to set your weapon production. You can set it to automatic with specific ratios or you can tell it how many of each weapon you want built. The issue is if you don't tell it to build any weapons and you don't have it set to automatic then it will not build any tools.

you need a separate building for weapons. the weaponsmith`s works and a hammer.
