To change the starting MICs, you want to alter the campaign_script not the descr_strat. Just find what the name of the level you want is (you can look in the export_descr_buildings.txt) and change it in the entry for MIC for that town.
But to actually be able to change the way they're shared and bunch up all the Hellenistics together you'd have to change the building and recruitment code in the EDB, it's quite difficult...
I've sugested itmyself before, and you have to admit it does make more sense for the Maks and Epriotes to share, and then if you run out of complexes, make the Baktrians and Koinion shre. Afterall, they're the only two factions to have hoplotai as factional, rather than regional troops.

Taking Ambraika usually breaks the KH game in terms of difficulty, you get a tier 5 barracks at about 15 turns or so.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Short answer: No. We cannot change this, at all, ever.
Long, boring answer that involves modding info: RTW hardcoding limits the number of building complexes to 64. The RTW 1.5 patch completely hosed the way EB was handling recruitment, so we had to move to a new system. The only way we were able to keep something similar to the old system was to split things into factional and regional barracks. However, we already had over 40 building complexes at the time.
The only way we could maintain recruitment within the building complex limit was to double-up the factional and regional barracks. Regional barracks made sense - they were intended to be culturally based from the beginning and you have at least one turn of repairing a damaged barracks before you can recruit troops.
Factional barracks were a bit stickier and required us to look long and hard at the various factions. We worked with the FCs to determine the feasibility of recruitment and troop training after conquest. Factions deemed to have similar training ethos and training/recruitment facilities were stuck together. In some cases the marriage is perfect (Aedui/Arverni), in others it isn't exactly perfect but good enough for the restrictions (KH/Epeiros).
In all cases the barracks are damaged by script upon conquest, requiring a turn (ie three months) to pass before you can recruit troops. Also you should really be destroying your government and building up a new government before you repair a factional barracks that can be used by your faction, which is the "correct" way to portray it - those players who do otherwise are free to do so, but it is considered an exploit.
The reason why I said "no, never" at the beginning is that we are currently at either 63 or 64 building complexes. For many reasons this will no longer be an issue in EB2, but for EB1 we're stuck with what the system provides.
Ok, What I don't understand though, is why are the Epriotes and KH deemed to be closser than the KH and Maks?

Hmmm, I have to admit I really can't understand that, as it seems to me the Epirotes are in many ways almost identical to the Makedonians.
