I thought that the giants were one of the best for taking a defensive stance. Their PD was excellent.

Nielfelheim PD is absolute rubbish in Dom3.

Also Dr Praetorious and his foes are probably at the stage when no amount of PD can stop the invading armies, even with support.

In MP, if you face an alliance or multi front wars then your probably doomed. Players seem alot less inclined to talk/sign peace treaties, do deals from mid to late game. It comes down to a series of wars of annihilation. The real trick is becoming really powerful in secret and in a way or ways that are not obvious from the graphs.

Graphs off by the way, really, really help the best players to achieve victory, as no one knows your running away with the game until too late.
