It just so happened that he's smaller, but he won't give up and will continue to attack more often, or he'll steal ammunition and engage in sabotage.

Combat fitness? In general, the idea of a mobile warrior is interesting, but, IMHO, it doesn't really suit dwarves.
And what's the deal with the miner? Will he bring ore?

it might become a taxpayer, but the idea is that it's a militia, not professional fighters

What's cool is that you sell ore and pay taxes on the profit to the treasury! :rolleyes: :cool:

Are you familiar with this NCF mod?

Its creator is a guy named Zakhar; it contains several good models and some of the nudes from Heroes 6, adapted for the fifth installment. )

A taxpayer isn't necessarily a bad thing. And the militia of the Dwarves could be obligated to pay taxes to the state; no one is stopping anyone from freely expanding on this idea.

You could write in the description of the upgraded unit that their squads include amnestied war criminals who train the soldiers of these squads, and they engage in looting and pay money into the treasury so they won't be sent back to prison.

It would be better to have something like this.

Miner.
Even in the underground kingdoms of the dwarves, there is crime and lawlessness, and during difficult wars or internal conflicts, all members of the criminal underworld emerge, eager to get everything easily and quickly.
Those who fall into the hands of the authorities are sent to unbearably hard forced labor, where they spend days and nights mining and smelting ores for "nothing," and all the profits go to the state. Living in such harsh conditions for decades, miners can boast excellent physical fitness and a complete unwillingness to work anymore. During wartime, they have a chance to receive amnesty by joining the militia, which they take advantage of.
Miners are strong, hardened warriors, ready to break the resistance of anyone, even the most dangerous enemy – they are one of the strongest pillars of the dwarven army, but their weak weaponry prevents them from fighting on equal footing with other troops.

In principle, everything here is quite justified. And there is no need to overcomplicate things. As for the upgraded version, it could be that "the best miners receive normal weapons from the state and are released from work, etc." And regarding the lack of a counterattack – it is quite in the style of marginal dwarves to subtly stab someone in the side.
