I was thinking about this and for me at least i think provinces should have more importance. They basically produce two things: money and mannpower. While these two things are very important, lets face it cities are what decides wheter you stay or quit the game. Most strategy is about conquering the homeland cities as fast as possible holding them and them wiping out the enemie's amred forces. So my suggestion is to spread resorces out: instead one or two provinces producing one resource let many of them produce. One here produces supplies the one over there produces components etc. And by countering that cities could produce less resources. I can already think of many strategies with this: for example israel could save some rare materials building only local industries on it's provinces with exception of it's capital for strike fighters. Of course the devs would have to counterbalance this so bigger countries don't have the advantage: maybe they have more provinces but each one produces less. That sort of thing. What do you think?
Are cities too important?

Provinces are already fairly important simply by being the thing between cities. Cities also tend to be where all the industry settles so the importance makes senseI am The Baseline for opinions

Shooting from the hip . . .
For altering/introducing game play - Giving provinces a greater importance (shifting some existing resource production from cities to provinces is what I'm thinking) is worth considering; but I'm not at all convinced it would either cause battles to ebb and flow across broad fronts, or would cause players to defend their borders any more than they already do. If the goal isn't one of those, I'm not sure what it would be.
In my limited experience, land battles occur in a few hours generally, while producing and using resources occurs over much longer scales. That largely decouples those two activities.
Other folks, especially those who let their games go on for a long time, probably have had different experiences. -
