Some newbie questions (no nation specific)

yea, most pd isnt worth it above 11 (atlantis gets a good mage and 20 and ulmish pd up to lvl 20 rocks tho)

I like Jotunheim for PD. Anytime Im playing a game where I think my only hope is a long holdout I go with Jotunheim. If I purchase archers in each province that allows it, and crank up the PD, then Im pretty strong. And I dont have to feed all those giants.

yea, jotun pd is good but hitting 20 with in unless you need too isnt really worth it.

Not on every province, no.
I tend to use the numbers 1, 6, 11, 21, and "all the gold I have this turn" when Im assigning PD for any nation.

I never fail to assign at least 1. That way if its taken by something I can at least get a report to see the force that took me, its formations, and orders.

I tend to assign 6 whenever possible.

I assign 11 if there is a high population or good magic sites.

I assign 21 if it has really important magic sites or a lab. Or important recruitable units with lots of resources.

And all-my-gold when Ive taken an important chokepoint near someone elses capital. If I expect it to be taken back then I also crank the taxes there to the max
