Re: Rating PD
Ulm is among the best of the MA races. The arbalests can sometimes kill a commander with the opening salvo. But it is by no means great.
Giants and manchaka(MA) are both laughably poor.
Man is ok, especially above 20 with longbows and tower guards, and after protection is researched the bard casts that on all the defense. I think Maragon(MA)is decent with crossbows and footmen.

Re: Rating PD
I have felt Pangaea's to be among the more useful, both in Dom2 and Dom3. Those satyrs rout and die easily, but their strength and attack values make them capable of doing some actual damage before they run. Harpies kill nothing, but they keep the archers busy and prevent them from slaughtering the satyrs as quickly. They aren't great at "holding the province" but they are great at "wearing down enemy armies", and the latter is all you're looking for in most circumstances.
Agreed that Man is good at higher levels, but utter crap at low levels.

Re: Rating PD
Marignon's got my vote for the best, at least against a variety of opponents. Decently armored pikes up front and crossbows in back...pretty much guaranteed to do some damage, and they synergize well with real troops.

Re: Rating PD
I found Arco's PD to be pretty good, it saved me in one of my early single player games.
I agree with everyone else about Niefelheim, simply the worst PD I have found so far.

My vote for worst PD is Jotunheim. Are they better or worse than Niefel (or about the same)?

Re: Rating PD
The giants PD is terrible, its only worth putting to 1 really, looks like both Niefel/Jotumheim are as bad as each another.
I have found Marverni PD to be surprisingly good. At 10 PD, 55gps you get 10 slingers, 20 javelineers. They seem to inflict alot of damge in the first 3 rounds or so. I have had Marverni PD of 10, 20 and 30 swing a battle or two. In MP other nations fail to take it into account and some of there attacks get replused.
