Re: Province Defence Balance
Hmm, I don't mind PD being unbalanced per faction, but I don't like the fact that PD costs the same per point for each faction.
Frankly, the problem I have w/PD is that it isn't influenced by the province it's in.
For example, you'd think that high Unrest would reduce the strength of PD, as they are likely deployed elsewhere putting down said unrest. Or that a higher PD would reduce supply and/or income available to the controlling faction, though still more cost-effective than recruiting an equivalent standing army and simply basing it there.
Historically, PD consisted of levies of local troops led by a warleader. Perhaps the flavour of province characteristics would be retained by making the PD consist of locally available troops, excepting those w/Fortresses? It would be a nerf to PD, especially for EA Factions, but still...
