You're right about the coloniae. I guess the hellenistic katoikiai could be modelled in a similar way, so that only provinces with them will be able to produce units like Klerouchoi and also the recruitment in each settlement will be differentiated (replenishment rate and troop selection) according to the level of katoikiai. Oh well, we shall wait and see.

I thought EB team said they would be limiting the max size of cities so if certain recruitment buildings only allowed in max city sizes there is another way to limit max pool size as well besides simply replenishment times which will probably be the main way. System of ancillaries and traits of rank would also be able to limit recruitment alot. Perhaps only Tribune or higher etc could recruit more elite units or something and equivalent for other factions. I'd guess it won't be a major issue simply due to most factions having large enough "native" territory when developed if each recruitment building allows 3 in the pool every 5 turn recruitment with 6 regions x 3 in pool x 5 turns it would be awhile before people hit max even with larger empires behind native lands the # of active armies typically grow much slower than the amount of regions controlled in most campaigns.
