Sure? The recruit button also only works if there are free settlers
visible on your screen (you can't recruit them if you don't see them).
And settlers standing around idly doesn't mean that they are totally
unoccupied - a certain amoung of settlers (20% at the beginning - you can
change that number though) is always reserved to become carriers if
neccessary.

If it was also occupied they won't take it a second time - if it was
occupied by an enemy, they can take it unless it is protected by a
defense tower. If there's a defense tower, you'll need soldiers to take
it.

Nope, settlers - you change them back to settlers not carriers.

You'll need a shovel (to prepare the building site) and a hammer (to build
the building). If you have both you'll also need the building materials.
The settlers will take what you drop on the beach with the merchant ship.
(the beach has to be yours too, though.
Oh, and naturally you can't build on enemy terretory if that's your
problem...

Hope that helped.

but I think I understand what my mistake was. Lack of tools + probably there
were no available units on the screen when I was trying to recruit (I could
not understand why sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't. Is the "on
the screen" issue mentioned in the manual? I went through it, but I don't
remember this).
In any case, a big thanks!

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings! "[An angel of the
Lord said,] 'Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby
wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of
the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his
favor rests.'" --Luke 2:11-14. Another known human death again. That's 4
in total for this yr. & 2 many (6? total) for this decade so far. :~(
