You can recruit all the normal amazon units (onyx/jade/crystal/garnet amazon, sacred amazon riding mythical beast, priest-mage (priestess) and mage (sorceress) ) if you conquered the province they were defending because they live in there. Just like knights/longbowmen or hoburgs live in their own provinces. Amazons just happen to be more special and have mages and mage-priests. Amazon provinces are very valuable, as you already have noticed!

But why wasn't I able to recruit those units pre-patch? And I'm sure I wasn't!
