Re: Province Defence?
Oh yes, PD is wonderful in SP. When facing enemy gods or anything I need to tire out, I like to send in a good stack of PD before my real troops. Sure, the PD gets killed, but the fatigue starts to build and some of the chaff gets cleaned out. Then your real troops, who you expect to do the killing, arrive and have a good start.
Another point about PD is that Mechanical Militia and Fata Morgana give you decent additional PD, but they only turn on when you have one or more points of PD. Those are very powerful defensive spells and, when combined with 11 or more points of PD, they really make a mess of AI. Once I have one of those, I stop worrying about defense and go entirely offensive. In multiplayer, they may not be the best use of gems, but they do make you a lot harder to take out.
