    Zed is correct, in that the units you can yourself recruit will join you, and the other units will be disbanded.

    As to mercenary Elephants they should be in the Carthage-area.

    If you want to keep your bribed armies, change the export_units_descr file. For each unit, change the ownership to contain the faction that you want.

    i.e.

    type carthaginian elephant african
    dictionary carthaginian_elephant_african ; War Elephants
    category cavalry
    class heavy
    voice_type Medium_1
    ...
    stat_fire_delay 0
    stat_food 60, 300
    stat_cost 1, 2410, 490, 250, 370, 2410
    ownership carthage, romans julii

    You also get to keep the general (but not captains), but he gets reequipped with the bodyguard of your faction. I've read that there is a slight bug in that you don't get any other (non-General) family members that may be in the bribed stack, but I've never had that situation.

    You also can get them in Assyria, Syria, Babylonia, Coele Syria, Phoenicia, and Judaea. But that's a separate pool to the North African one, and so has its own appearance/replenishment rates.
