Beware of Ashikaga, as their PD are samurai, who have excellent morale, and are quite tough as well.

Jotunheim has a mix of Jotun militia (morale 10) and Jotun Hurlers (12). But they are both giants and thus have 30+ HPs and 18+ strength, thus can take a fair beating.

R'lyeh PD commanders are illithids with mind bLasts. Of course, those 1-2 squids are not usually enough to make up for their crummy cheap slave fodder.

PD is not a panacea, but properly used, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your units, it can be very effective. For example, if you put just 1 L3 priest (for Sermon of Courage) in any province with PD that you fear will be attacked, it will go a very long ways towards enhancing their ability to continue fighting.
