Default Re: High PD kinda useless.

Also, even at 40 PD the price of raising the cost by one is just 40. For e.g. Man, they get 2 Militia, 1 Spearman, 1 Longbowman and 1 Tower Guard. That's less than their recruitment price.

MA Mictlan gets 3 Warriors and 1 Jaguar Warriors, and a Mictlan Priest that can bless the Jaguars!

EA Pangaea gets 3 satyrs and a Centaur and a Centaur Warrior at every two points. 41+42 or 83 gold for 6 satyrs, a Centaur Warrior and a Centaur doens't seem that bad to me.

LA Pangaea gets 1 Satys (of the Sneak variety) and 1,5 Satyr Hoplites, and additional Satyr and half a Centaur Cataphract. 83 gold for 3 Satyrs, 3 Satyr Hoplites and a Centaur Cataphract?

There are of course many nations for which 40 PD is high, but I'm not sure they are the majority. MA and LA Marignon both get Pikeneer, Halberdier and Crossbowman. 41 gp for 3 units is high.

LA Jotunheim gets 2 Huskarls and ½ a Jotun Javelinist. 83 gp for 4 humans and one giant is expensive. Other Jotunheim themes get few giants, also becomes "not worth it" faster.

But then again, Ermor has nice PD over all the nation's eras. 3 weaker troops and a Hastatus, and the better leader is a mage - that's still good at 41 gp.
