hydra production bug?

[Aezeal]

In a SP game I conquered the capital of MA pythium.

I can produce my (MA ermor) units in that fortress, the indie units and the smallest flavor of hydra (produced by the special pythium structure.. normally I cannot build the race specific units when taking capitols I think

am I wrong? is this intentional? is this a bug?

Intentional.

I noticed that MA Emor's capital lets you produce fire/blood mages and gryphon riders. If I were playing differently, I would think this is a huge boon.

You always get the local/natural population type, in addition to your own troops, when you conquer an enemy fortress (just as you do when building a fortress). It looks like you got red amazons as the local poptype, it's not from Ermor specifically.

It is a little odd that you get natural poptype recruitment from everywhere except your own capital. But it seems an unavoidable balance issue; if you got a random indep population at your starting fortress, some nation/poptype combos could provide a serious bonus at game start.

Well, that's strange.

So whenever you conquer someone else's capital, you gain the ability to produce local population types that they didn't have access to?
