I knew about the threads, but I didn't bother reading them. I didn't have enough free time then.

My reply was no reference to that thread (this time). It is a common misconception from players who purely play SP games to rely on PD to do the fighting for them. This might be due to the problems of enemy armies, which seem to always be one step ahead, plowing a wake of devastation through the player's provinces while getting away from fighting a decisive battle against the players forces that are chasing them. Using PD to "prevent" this leads to a bad playing style. My advice was not to fall for this.

Oh no, I've created even more confusion with my poor explanation!

And here was Mr_Dark just wanting some good advice, which he got from you. So:

* People joke about monkey PD for historical reasons

* It really is not worth buying more than one point of in my serious opinion. But always buy at least one point of PD.

11 points can also be handy for the possibility of catching stealthy units(that starts at 10 or 11, right? Or am I just completely wrong here?) and stopping the occasional random event or remote attack.

Starts at 10, but I've never caught a thing with PD.

I've only played one MP game with Bandar, so I don't have much experience with them. But I did not buy more than 1 PD in that game. I don't think monkey PD will do well against Barbarians or Call of Winds.

You could use it to get some chaff into a defensive fight, I suppose.

Barbarians are actually the only thing monkey pd does well against. Markata have hight defence, so the barbarians have trouble hitting them.

PD can be usefull to lower unrest, starting at ten. Costs less in the long run than having an army patrolling (or just less micro...), especially in ennemy dominion
