No elephants in memphis

Hi i built a barrack on which it says that i should be able to train elephants, but they don't appear anywhere for me to train them. Just wondering if this is a glitch only for memphis or also the other ptoly cities? thanx

P.S. it's also for the other Ptoly cities

Some other Ptolemaioi things:
As far as I can tell and read in EDB, neither the Aithiopikon Agema or the Red Sea Hoplites can be built by the Ptolemaioi, though EDU says they can have these units. As for recruitment in general, several MIC upgrades are now useless, for example Petra - I can't build a single unit with the highest foreign natives MIC - or Pselkis, a gov2 province, where the highest possible faction MIC allows no new unit. I'm not sure if this is intented.
But I gladly welcome the Lonchophoroi Hippeis, Hetairoi Aspidophoroi and especially the Thorakitai for the Ptolemaioi (finally) and the unit stat/cost adjustments!

I'm now in 213 BC and never saw a suitable husband who was a Galates or a Ioudaios. Do these traits have any requirements?

Not sure about the elephants, but I don't think there should even be any in Memphis.

The Aithiopikon Agema was going to be removed, so it has probably had its recruitment removed but not completely removed from the game yet. I think the Redsea Hoplite is a known bug, but I may be thinking of a different regional for the Ptl. Not all MICs will produce something. We can't have them stop when they give you all they can give and we won't just randomly put stuff in because you can build a Type2 and don't get anything in a L4MIC.

I think you just have bad luck with your husbands...
