Rebel Settlements

Been playing through the campaign a lot lately and I keep noticing out of place rebel settlements.

Most noticeable would have to be the east-side Osgiliath
Why is it that osgiliath is a rebel settlement at the beginning when we Gondor had a garrison there?
Some reasons why rebel settlements aren't the best thing to have is that you start off at war with Mordor and Harad. On vh/vh you really have no units to spare to get rebel settlements around Gondor. So why not just let Gondor start off with most of the rebel settlements around them?

it is hard enough...

Having all your missions be useless like for example: "take over rebel settlement X, when you obviously don't have the troops to capture it or to hold it once captured" and lets say I decided to for the reward...well the reward is around 2000 gold and the mission requires you to spend 2000gold+ just to recruit a new army to take it over and for upkeep costs.

So maybe a solution would be to add those rebel settlements to Gondor and then have more missions that make logical sense.

You can also simple ignore these useless Missions.
I think its very balanced how it be now.

I thought that East Osgiliath was deserted.

And as far as I know the missions are created by the M2TW engine, not scripted by the mod. Which is why their rewards generally aren't on par with the effort/cost involved in this mod.
