In Single Play issue 2 is more of a 'mandatory' but MP this is not the case and it's more based on the strength of the Provincial Defenders to what you set it at while being able to stop sneak attack spells and spy/stealth province snatches.

Just a FYI about Provincial Defense is the AI thinks in terms of 10's in determining how many units are there. So if you have between 1-10 Provincial Defense it thinks you have 10 Units there, 11-20 = 20, 21-30 = 30, 31-40 =40 etc.

Try not to abuse it too bad
