Expansion slots: why can't I train settlers or chiefs?

Each village gets expansion slots from its Residence (levels 10 and 20) or Palace (levels 10, 15 and 20). One slot = 3 settlers or 1 chief, and it stays used by the village founded or conquered.

Settlers and chiefs you own (at home, travelling or in training) already count. The training page says "No free expansion slot" when they are used up.

Each founded or conquered village uses one slot of the village that sent the settlers or chief.

Culture points are a separate condition. You need both.
