Yeah, intentional. It represents the fact that the "infastructure" of the province is so well developed that Knights of the Realm have been assigned to rule it as feudal lords. It can really suprise an unprepared opponent, especially if you go for decisive battle in bretonnian soil.

But like we all know, buying 20+ pd everywhere is just waste of gold. And there are ways to bypass the KotR's in high bretonnian pd (like flying fear/awe thug charging in the first turn), since the frontline is compased of sucky men-at-arms, the suckers will surround the guy, preventing the knights from getting hits in and everything gets scared of the fear aura and run away.

Actually, something like 30-40 pd chased off a blue dragon with BoW. No dom 9, but with CBM's change to 20 prot he was killing everything else I threw him at.

Yeah, but there's a time and a place for that much PD. You just can't afford to plop that much PD down in every province. Not unless you're playing with insane amounts of gold, anyway.
