Conquered Capitals and Recruitment

[VedalkenBear]

To be more specific:

1) You can never recruit another nation's national units, even in their capital. I'm fairly certain you know this, but I'm trying to be complete.

2) Sea nations have various issues with recruitment on land. In your specific case, MA R'lyeh cannot recruit any national units in non-sea non-coastal provinces. This sounds like the issue you are having. In a sea province, you get your normal 'full national' recruitment. In a coastal province, you are allowed to recruit Starchildren (with the appropriate facilities, of course), foulspawn chaff, and hybrid soldiers (who are sort of MI). MA R'lyeh also receives a small number (about 4 or so) foulspawn a turn from each of their coastal forts, gratis.

Hope this helps.
