Sure, one was from the Morgul vale and the other Cirith Ungol, but unless Mevans adds a new subfaction for every orc patrol group, there's no way to distinguish different groups within the same faction in the mod.

Another thing I'd like to add: there should be no alignment penalty for killing skirmishing orcs. One might even go so far as to say that (at least for Gundabad), once a player has enough positive alignment, there should be no penalty for killing any orcs regardless. It would certainly be lore friendly, and it would add tremendously to evil gameplay. Of course, that would make it much harder for evil players to switch allegiances, so maybe an "L" option would be in order.

Gorbag was from Minas Morgul, which is a different subfaction in the mod and would have different Orcs.

As for getting involved in skirmishes, I'd like to throw that in, if you don't mind.

Exactly, MM, as well as every other fortress in Mordor would have different orcs, but they don't because they're not deemed distinct enough. Therefore, it is assumed that generic "Mordor Orcs" are from all different corners of Mordor. Additionally, before they had their disagreement, Gorbag and Shagrat discussed desertion, so it is not at all unreasonable to assume that desertion, or attempted desertion, was not all that uncommon. And any attempt at desertion could easily result in skirmish.

Go ahead and at it tbh.

Morgul Orcs have been stated to be planned, I believe, and at any rate are distinct enough to have more than just a banner.
