Unit recruitment problem (Pontus)

[Magyar Templar]

Hello,

I 've a problem with the unit recruitment system. Playing with Pontos, i own the territories of Pontos Paralios and Paphlagonia (cities: Trapezus, Sinope). Both are homeland regions, so I established the 'Type I Government' to able to recruit the pontic 'factional' units, but I can't recruit any 'factional' soldiers in Sinope (Paphlagonia), even though I built the level 1 'factional' barracks both places. But In Trapezus, i can. (By Level 1 Barracks ables to recruit a slinger, and a skirmisher unit)

Is it a bug? Or are there any other factor of the recrutiment? I never met similar problems in EB during the past 2 years playing yet, although that 's my first game with eastern type faction at 1.2 version.

Thanks to answers!

Make sure you use Tribal (factional), not Local barracks.

Also, Pontos has alot of provinces with the "homeland" marker, but are unable to produce any factional troops in them. Atleast that's the case with the western most seleucid cities in asia minor, in my game

Sinope is (almost) one of them. Initially, you shouldn't bother with factional barracks there, go for regional ones instead which will give you Hoplitai and Peltastai. Both very useful units. Additionally, you can get siege engines there, with a Type III or IV government. Later, when you have enough money (and teched up your regional MIC), you can destroy the Type III/IV government there and implement a Type I. This will give you access to better buildings (big port ) and a few high tier factional troops. The first two stages of factional barracks in Sinope don't let you recruit anything.

thanks for clearing that out i normally just go for high regional barracks in Sinope, so i can get access to some of the greek troops (hoplites for example), tbh hoplites are awesome at holding back what the seleucids throws at you
