Of course not. Mercenaries were always from other countries. How many other countries existed in Middle-earth that Gondor coud feasably hire mercenaries from?

Mercenaries fighting against their own nation....? Because they're petty criminals? That makes literally no sense. I don't believe people in jail for things like shoplifting are going to feel the need to betray their own country, becaused they violated a just law.

Besides, these guys seem terribly weak, and to get these weak units, you have to travel into enemy territory. I'm fairly certain these guys wouldn't ever be used, considering evil has so many other decent units to choose from. 1) These Mercenaries would be more like Rebels- but I would be willing to change it to only +0 easily- they aren't criminals- more skirmishers than anything. What I was trying to replicate is that they would not really care if you were an enemy of the state.

2) They aren't weak- considering the fact that they are incredibly cheap, and can be hired immediately, without any required alignment. (0+ for all of them). All non-levy class units are better than these, simply because these are considered the lowest and aren't given equipment from the state.
