Re: Gladiators?
I think they'd just kill your gladiators with a scout and move the raiding army elsewhere - they'd have cost you a chunk at gold an succeeded in disrupting your recruitment. I guess if the province is really important (which is going to happen very rarely) and it happens to be next to your fort and your other forces are an extra 1 move away and you can build enough gladiators rather than normal troops to actually stop/discourage the enemy army when combined with PD,... then they might be useful. But that's really, really niche.
