Also....Abyssa just entered my home province. My armies weren't there for the initial battle....just the PDs. However, they ARE there in the besieged castle. Is this how they are supposed to act? If they woulda stayed and fought on the battlefield I would have dispatched the enemy army with ease...I think.

Now then....I DID move them into the province the same turn, so maybe they are assumed to have moved in after the field battle occured and found their way into the castle thru secret passages?
Unfortunately, this is how the game was designed. If there's a castle your choices are "Defend castle" and "patrol". There's no "defend province". A big oversight as far as I'm concerned.

Once you've given the move order to a province with a castle, select the orders menu again and you'll see a new one: "Move and Patrol". Selecting it makes the unit move to that province and immediately be tasked with 'patrol' orders. This means that they will fight attackers with the PD on the same turn that they arrive.

I'm not sure a 'defend province' command is that big a deal... patrol basically does this and I can't see many situations where the other effects of patrolling (reduces unrest, detects stealthy troops) are actually disadvantages

PD can deal with unrest without killing people.

Wait is this true? I hadn't read anywhere that PD reduces unrest.

I'm pretty sure PD does nothing for unrest.

Province defense has no effect on unrest. What he's seeing is the effect of the autotax setting reducing taxes to reduce unrest.

Ulm is one of the few races that pd is well spent. A storm of those arbalest arrows can sometimes take out commanders and result in a full retreat.

But 100 is excessive.

I always thought Jotunheim was PD well spent. Better to have PD giants than try and move an army of them.

Not in Dom3, Jotunheim PD is poor.

Giants PD sucks. They have an attack of like 8 and cant hit anything. then they get teamed up on because of their size.

Despite the manual saying the giants pd is good, it is one of the worst.
