Do you have to defeat an enemy unit before you can recruit it?
The publisher answered the no-defeat part directly on BGG, and the 2.0 condition matches the current wording.

No. Recruiting does not require defeating the unit first. Under the 2.0 wording, a unit can be recruited if your faction attacked it that turn and no other faction controls it; you may then gain control of it at the end of your turn.
