You can recruit Kretans and other archers in the Provinciae government after the Marian reform. You can also recruit them from the Civitas Libera government and Allied Governments for that matter.
Of course it was a problem. But in this game, at a certain point, you will have Rome full of people. I mean, the office maybe lasts a little few. Anyway I think it is not a big deal.

About archers, I was meaning that of course soldiers were from Syria or other countries, but they were permanent units in the roman army, they were not mercenaries ; in fact they were wearing the roman's armour in the late period while almost anything in the early one.
