decreasing PD

[militarist]

Is it possible to decrease own PD of the province(not the same turn as you built it) ?

[Quitti]

No. Except to get someone to attack it or summon an indep remote attack spell at it.

[Stavis_L]

Cast Ghost Riders/Send Horror/etc. at it. If the remote attack wins, PD will be reduced to zero, at which point you can re-take the province and add whatever PD you think you need.

Not sure why you'd do that...

...and the stealthy Quitti ninjas in!

[Quitti]

Reducing PD would have it's uses, many times I've cursed too much PD in a prov (undesired units dying and forcing army rout is a possibility that is too often in my mind).

You can't win if you're not fast.

Ive wanted to do it. If I setup a really nice province for mage transfers from another player, then suddenly get an event that raises the PD. Ive lost some very expensive purchases that way. Usually I end up just setting up somewhere else which tends to be dangerously near my borders since I want to use a province with no PD assigned yet, and end up with someplace that a lab is basically wasted. Altho last time I was "lucky" enough to have another event send independents to capture a province near my capital so I used that instead.
