Default Re: Getting started..............

* Don't expect too much from PD. 10 is a good value (11 is slightly better IIRC at deterring the AI because it's the difference between "an officer and a few henchmen" and moderately well-defended in the spy reports) and will stop Cal of the Winds, Arouse Hunger, etc., most of the time. It won't stop a barbarian attack unless you get very lucky, and it won't stop a real army. PD + a mage is much stronger than PD on its own.

* As with Axis and Allies, much of the game is won or lost during the purchasing phase.

* Thunderstrike does real damage as well as stun to adjacent enemies, by the way.
