Default Re: Fixing PD?

I completely agree with Panther on this issue .

Especially nations like Machaka are pathethic . You get only Militia as PD-Troops . Even if you buy 50 Pd you then have something like 120 militia which can't even beat 1 sauromancer or 1 false horror spammer normally .

The 2 Main issues with PD are Caelum Raiders and later Ghost Riders .

Another good idea imo would be to cap the costs at 20 Pd . Every additional Point then costs only 20 Gold also .
But this can't be modded Illwinter would have to do that by themselves .
Another idea would be that all nations have the same PD , hired mercenaries .

Cause PD can differ a lot . While Marignon PD is quite good Machaka PD just sucks .

I think it would help much if one could script PD. To not get bogged in micro there could be a nationwide PD-script to be applied to every province.
I like this idea.

It would be nice if the unit ids for PD were seperate from recruitables (I think they are the same now, right?). That way people could play around with modding the pd levels to balance to their taste.

Oversway, please look my post on the earlier page. I modded Pythium's provincial defence. It is not balanced, but it CAN be balanced doing what I did.

Yeah, I saw what you did, that is cool. Although there was another post that claimed it was only working if you rebuild the entire nation?

It works for me. PD has changed, and the recruitable units are still there.
