Re: Fixing PD?
Ah, but the sauromancer can move around, haul armies, cast rituals, research and is quite versatile. The PD just sits there doing nothing, waiting to be slaughtered by practically anything. Doesn't every single C'tis player build another sauromancer rather than 20 PD in most situations? The only true benefit of PD is to catch enemy spies if it can and help stop the hawk or wolf spell.
That is definitely a good point above made by Frank about making it hard to seige people if PD got too good. I once attacked an enemy who had 116 PD in a province, unbeknownst to me. My meager army of a couple of mages with maybe 20 devils and some random vine ogres and other Abysian infantry killed well over half of that huge PD before I lost everything. Had the enemy routed, I even could have won the battle with my smallish army. And that was over 8K gold he invested in that much PD.
PD certainly cannot slow invaders like watch towers can, which is why people usually spam towers and not PD.
