Oh Oh OH I know! I know! (hand waving madly in the air)
I will give you a hint as an "old timer" in Dominions. Anything "worthless" means you should examine it closely for a useful strategy. This is one good example of that.
Low grade provinces are great. Especially if there is one full of supplies right next door. Even more so if there are strong independents on both sides of it.
I leave the crappy province weakly protected as bait, keep a big army in the hvy supply province next door. I dont take the indeps on both sides if I dont need those for anything. Lure your opponent into the province where his big army starts to starve. He either has to fight the indeps (free damage on him since I didnt need to buy the troops). Or he can attack my well-fed army. Or I can swarm down on him my fed troops vs his starving one. Then I pull back to food-land daring him to push forward again.
Thats what I love about this game. If its worthless, check carefully.
