Wow, Mictlan PD? I think I only ever spend like 5 points for mictlan PD, and that just for some fodder to lose to Call of the Winds so that real troops don't have to die. Mictlan is at the very bottom couple of rungs of the PD ladder, right down there with C'tis and Machaka.

You could rout 50 Mictlan PD with a couple death mages casting Terror in like 3 rounds, if that. You don't even need more than a handful of bodyguards.

Or you could recruit 20 longbowmen. None of Mictlan's PD have any defense at all against arrows.

Or you could summon a few vine ogres. Mictlan PD would have a hell of a time killing 10 vine ogres.


Or......


There's about a million ways of dealing with PD as crappy as Mictlan's. Now, if you were talking about *Jotunheim* or *Ulm* PD, you might have a leg to stand on (though both do have their weaknesses - Jotun PD is succeptable to being swarmed by high defense attackers, and Ulm PD is easily killed with magic). As Gandalf pointed out, however, PD is a particular strength of those nations, to balance out the difficulty of amassing a considerable number of national troops.
