Default Re: Province Defence Balance


Anyone run any tests to see if a PD of 10 for any nations CANNOT hold up to a single cast of hawks or wolves or arouse hunger (generally weak spell anyway)?

Would be interesting to see stats (and a huge pain in the butt to implement) on PD of 1-10 vs falcons, wolves, undead, mad priest(?) for all nations in all ages. Ideally multiple repetitions as long as I'm asking for the impossible.

The final ranking would be nice, but more beneficial would be to see any that fail consistently at high numbers vs those that succeed consistently even at low numbers.

While a feature of the race, its still nice to know how useful it is - especially vs. remote attack spells which are somewhat consistent.

I beat a call of the winds with a single point of EA Abysia PD.

Yeah, I find 1-2 points of PD is usually enough to stop Call of the winds...

Wow... Apparently Call of the Winds is horribly bad. I'd think maybe a nation like Shinuyama or Maverni might have trouble, but I don't know. I haven't had it used against me often.

Call of the wind can work against Jotunheim. But should only be used to seige castles.

Generally I take 6 PD on any province unless it has special features. For most nations that will stand up to the early drop-summons. I forget which nations required more (Im terrible at testing). But the tests did make me fall into 6PD as a standard.

I just lost a province to a Call of the Winds as EA Mictlan with 1 point of PD. They killed one or two of my guys, then all the birds except for the commander routed.

It was a pretty sad battle.
