Re: Province Defense: too powerful?
the thing is, the AI doesnt tend to transition to mage-oriented armies later on, or build supercombatants; those can both efficiently destroy even large amounts of PD. PD's not too effective, it's in fact very expensive in the final analysis, to stop an AI army of decent size you need lots of it in lots of provinces so...
the effectiveness of PD against AI is more the effectiveness of turtling against the AI. i.e. the AIs will beat eachother up and attack the player indifferently while the player eco-rushes. And even the Impossible AI is pretty bad at expanding compared to a player. Plus, the AI's tendency to recruit lots of indies works against it - PD is usually pretty good against indies.
