PD wars! (no monkeys allowed)

Radio_Star, kindly dial down the insulting tone. It doesn't really serve much of purpose. If HoneyBadger's ideas are really as bad you seem to think, it should not be much trouble to show them up as such.

The points in favor and against retaining the PD mechanics as they are are interesting enough. Personally I've found PD as it currently is suitable for what I need, though some nations definitely get more bang for buck than others. Changing PD mechanics in any deep manner is not going to happen, though. You'd probably need to break a lot more things than it's worth to get there.

As a final note, I do not wish to need to moderate this thread again. Anyone who makes it necessary does so at his or her own peril.

If you just want stronger PD for SP, I suppose that's fine. I'm not sure that would make for a particularly fun game (hordes of AI chaff+huge AI PD... ugh) but you could certainly do it. I'm not sure who would be interested in doing such a mod, but it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do if one was so inclined. It's just a matter of selecting a few nations and switching a few numbers around. It shouldn't take more than ~an hour per era, if you have a good plan for what units you want to use. You could even add in typically summoned units in small numbers at 20+ PD if you were so inclined.

The PD helper spells aren't THAT bad... they probably aren't that good in the bang per buck department, though.

Arent the PD helper spells dependent on domain strength and sometimes terrain?
It becomes not a question of whether its good or not, but how good can it be. A little bit of help is good. But with Domain 10 and 125 PD you wouldnt want it to make a castle impossible to take.
