I wish it were so, but it's not. In an Amazon province, PD is ... not Amazon, but your national troops.

These guys *should* be totally freaked out (and destroyed) by any thing named "horror". And by ghost riders. If you want to stop high-end magical attacks, you should have to use reasonably high-end counters.
And/or put a fort in every province. Which means that almost everyone gets fast-and-cheap watch towers. Add in a flying SC or other flying army to retake provinces before the watch towers are breached. It's all connected. These recurring patterns are not by chance.

Exactly. Madcastling is a result of the uselessness of PD. If you could hold your provinces better with PD, you wouldnt see such blanket castling.

Yeah . Then strategically placed Castles/Fortified cities would actually be good . With the extra Resources you could build much more national troops then also .

As it is atm you can do this only in sp though .
In MP the Order 3 , Sloth 3 , Death 3 , Misfortune 2 and Magic 0-3 Scale is much much to common .
