Can't recruit

[anilater]

I'm playing as Rome, and I just conquered the two most southerly provinces in Italy. I've built level 1 governments in both settlements but I can't build barracks. I've tried to tear them down and rebuild them but still nothing. I've also tried level 2 gov buildings and still nothing.

See The FAQ....you need to wait for the Polybian reforms.

Q: As the Romans, why can't I build factional MICs in X area.
A: The Romans can only build factional MICs in areas that contain Roman units. The area expands based on the reform level (see below). During the Camilian Era, you can build factional MICs in your starting cities plus Segesta. During the Polybian Era, you can build factional MICs in "Homeland" regions (Italy). During the Marian & Avgvstan Eras, you can build factional MICs everywhere, but have limited recruitment, based on the area.

Thanks, I missed that part on my first read through.
