Has anything changed in regards to province defense?
or has this remained unchanged?

The amount of troops from PD was roughly doubled compared to in dom2. Now, the amount of gold avialable was also doubled, but that means more extra gold available to to be used on it. All in all, I use PD a lot more in Dom3.

Re: Province Defense
 

You get 2 different types of troops for every level of PD and after 20+ you get additional 2 different troops types. That’s a lot of troops if you invest in it. Also, commanders you get are often not bad and very often second commander (for levels of 20+) is a mage. Of course, this isn't exact rule as some nations vary in PD department, but most of them are like this.

Interesting, interesting.

They still like to run away like good little militia. Nonetheless, you feel alot better about spending the gold when you can get a decent mounted Van and fully glamoured footmen as well. This compares alot more fairly with Jotuneim's militia, which were pretty scary.

I got PD of 40 in my hometown, and it has beat a couple solid AI midgame armies... Not that it would withstand a serious or intelligent attack, but it makes a lot more of a difference than it did in 2.

Re: Province Defense
 

Is it worth the money, however?

In Dom 2 I get PD to 10, because its very cheap to do so. Perhaps PD to 20, in provinces where u get that random event which raises it to PD 15.

But 40?

Isn't it better to spend the money elsewhere?

Or in Dom3 is PD really worth investing in?

Re: Province Defense
 

If province defense has been improved... hopefully the AI opponents are investing more into province defense as well.

Perhaps the developers can comment on the AI opponents and how they invest in province defense.
