Interesting, interesting.

They still like to run away like good little militia. Nonetheless, you feel alot better about spending the gold when you can get a decent mounted Van and fully glamoured footmen as well. This compares alot more fairly with Jotuneim's militia, which were pretty scary.

I got PD of 40 in my hometown, and it has beat a couple solid AI midgame armies... Not that it would withstand a serious or intelligent attack, but it makes a lot more of a difference than it did in 2.

Is it worth the money, however?

In Dom 2 I get PD to 10, because its very cheap to do so. Perhaps PD to 20, in provinces where u get that random event which raises it to PD 15.

But 40?

Isn't it better to spend the money elsewhere?

Or in Dom3 is PD really worth investing in?

If province defense has been improved... hopefully the AI opponents are investing more into province defense as well.

Perhaps the developers can comment on the AI opponents and how they invest in province defense.

Depends on situation Meglobob. If you are defending some chokepoint its well worth the investement. You can improve them by placing few artillery mages and maybe priests for sermon of courage. The fact that they all get back to full numbers after each battle makes them very usefull for defending critical provinces.

Since there is more gold, there is more PD for AI as well. Not too much but you will run into heavy PD often enough. I guess it depends if AI has enough money to invest in them.
