Default Re: Rating PD

Actually throw-away front-line infantry shouldnt be a minus as long as they are used well. If the province wins, they are recreated so they arent really a loss if they serve well.

I think that the battle of armies, natural or magical, is meant to be an emphasis of the game. So Im not sure that PD is meant to withstand armies. To me, if it can withstand MOST random events and the cheaper spell attacks such as "call of xxxxx", then that should be considered average for PD.

Maybe some tests for what purchase-price of PD it takes to do that for each nation would be helpful. If one can do at 6 what another has to have 11 to do then we have a barometer to measure by.

Of course, pumping A LOT of money into PD can be effective against armies but Im not sure if we will ever measure that to a useful decision.
IMHO
