does anyone else think province defense can be levied to quickly?

The existence of this thread really surprised me. I have never considered PD to be all that overpowered.

And as pointed out it's immobile. Not only that but often the leaders are wimpy. Look at the priest that leads low-level ulm PD. Not exactly my leader of choice unless I'm facing undead. And if the leader dies the rest retreat as you know...so with good PD, I still usually put another commander there.

My usual PD is in Gandalf's range, except I pay for 21 defense wherever I have a castle. That's probably overkill, but I really dislike losing castles.
