Mercenaries and local units are RP'ed by me. I only recruit them if I'm not at war with them or when they have been sufficiently pacified. Even then, I tend to send local units to the other side of my empire in order to assure loyalty from these men. This RP even goes for my factional units from my core provinces, who are most of the time not even allowed to train units except when they have the highest lvl barracks.
There is no way I would send in loads of more useful mercenaries.
