problems with provincial defence
Rank newbie here, frustrated enough. I played the demo off and on for several months until I took the plunge, thinking my main complaint had been addressed with the concept of provincial defense. Alas.
I cannot build a line of secure provinces, with or without fortresses, nor can I adequately defend a circle, and I get extremely frustrated chasing an enemy behind my incipient lines with my main force split in three hoping to pin him. Usually stuck too far behind my lines to deflect the inevitable attack from another opponent.
My current strategy has been to use a fortified city, clear the area around it (for the resource bonus), reach out to a second fortress, and build a line with provincial defense and strong recruiting. While this has worked to a limited extent, the larget I grow the more problems I have a) chasing someone who breaks through, and b) bringing forces to the front.
Do y'all leave a substantial defensive force in *every* province?
