Is Indigenous Military Outposts bugged?

First of all in Alexandria you can have them by just building a native colony. But again you over simplify, the population of Alexandria was heavily hellenised, the natives adopted Makedonian customs to fit in and make a career. The Machimoi for example were not recruited there.

Also you cite troops left and right, historically the Ptolemaioi had several recruiters travelling to Hellas or Mikra Asia. Most of the soldiers you mention were enlisted there before a campaign and then travelled to Aigyptos...

It is no misunderstanding, the native colony speaks for the militarisation of the local population or settlement of your own veterans, which mixing also with the locals further your own culture and way of warfare, nor bringing people to a place and using them at that moment. The Galatai will be factional and mercenary, for the Ptolemaioi invited them and settled them as Klerouchoi...

Your idea that you should be able to recruit Persian soldiers in Alexandria goes completely against what EBII stands for and is very peculiar...

For your example about a Makedonian possession in Germania, the native colony would be the militarisation and integration in the political system of Germanics, which would fight in their own ways. While an Hellenic colony there would acculturate Germanics to fight as Hellenes, thanks to the settlement of Makedonian veterans...

What you are failing to understand or accept is that, going by your Epeirote example, is that you can recruit factionals and hellenised troops in say Ambrakia, but recruit some factionals and Illyrian troops in Epidamnos...
EBII's system considers demographics and socio-political standings, something EBI's did not...

Your claim for accuracy whereby every single region has to be able to recruit everything is a fantasy.
