Everyone also gets: Dominions is a very complex game with a vast number of tactical and strategic options.

However, the above two being true does not mean that Lord Bob is incorrect. As a matter of fact he is correct in that money PD is comically bad.
This is why a new strategy could be introduced for DOM_4 which allowed PD to be upgraded. This would add another layer of depth.
Seems only feasible a nation should have the option to improve its province defence. Considering the pretender controls the nation and all aspects of war... the pretender should have the power to order/research/purchase/etc ways of improving province defence.

{{The PD Story}}

Machaka Pretender, "Give me a report on our research progress!"
Arch_Sorceror, "We've finished learning the last of the spells and the last two enemies should be dead within the week."
Machaka Pretender, "Excellent... have them all move to the front as quickly as possible."
...small pause...
Machaka Pretender, "Give me a report on our income status!"
Elder Bane_Spider, "Our income is safely in the thousands with a little extra stored for an unexpected Utterdark yet our front line indicates it's unlikely."
Machaka Pretender, "Excellent... start having half of all money set aside for creating a personal temple of gold later."
Elder Bane_Spider, "Yes, anything my master."
...small pause...
Machaka Pretender, "Improve the body armor of our province defence and change their weapons from spears to long swords."
SC_Hunter_Lord, "Sorry we can't do that... they are part of a union and no changes for negotiations will occur for another 200 years."
Machaka Pretender, "What the FUDGE? I can call demons and devils from hell, mindlessly send you or anyone in my nation to death, cast globals altering weather and health of the realm BUT I can't improve our province defence!!"
SC_Hunter_Lord, "Yes that is correct... it's that same union which forces us to flee battles at 5pm(50_turns_autoretreat)"
Machaka Pretender, "What about after I'm officially granted godhood?"
SC_Hunter_Lord, "It's my understanding as god of the realm you'll be allowed to talk with union representatives once a month. Just don't piss them off!! That's how the realms last god died."
