Recruiting the army requires the player to click on the appropriate building, and based on the level of the building they can choose how many soldiers they would need to recruit.

The barracks are for recruiting infantry units. The Stables are for recruiting cavalry. The Archery range is for missile units, and the siege works are for siege equipment.

Each unit takes a certain time to recruit, and when the unit is completed the next one’s recruitment progress begins. Only one type of unit can be recruited per building. That is, if a player wants to recruit a footman, they would have to wait until it’s done recruiting for them to recruit warriors.

As the timer goes from the total time it takes to recruit a unit, to 0, the bar would be filled. When the timer is brought to 0, and the bar is full, the unit is recruited and placed into the “Total” bar.

The same GUI is applied to the Stables, which recruits Cavalry, the Archery Range, which recruits the missile units, and the Siege Works, which recruits siege equipment.
