I recall reading 11 PD is recognized more than 10 PD... and 21 PD more than 20 PD and so on by increments of ten. I think it was research from Gandalf.

It would be interesting to see how an AI opponent expands and behaves with the different personalities where the scales, pretender, starting location, nation and map were all the same.
