Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

i had the same sort of situation happen to me from turn one for about 20 rounds or so. i believe i was playing on impossible ai, but other than that i cannot recall what scales or even which race i was playing as

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

It must be a bug then. There's no way that even "Impossible" AIs can cast those spells from turn 1 onward.

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

You could just be having bad luck. It is quite possible even with luck +3

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

Depends on his scales, those could be normal random events from having misfortune/turmoil or just being plain unlucky.

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

In the original post, he said he had Luck 3 Turmoil 3, and was asking if Luck 3 with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of bad events was a bug, or just very unlucky.

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

By "original post," do you mean my post? If so, I said I had Turmoil 1, not Turmoil 3.

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

Yes, I did, and sorry about the confusion. I confused you with my neighbours in a recent blitz, both of whom had Turmoil 3.

Re: Niefelheim disasters--bug?
 

There as been debates on luck before and no doubt there will be others in the future.

The problem is you can flip a coin 100 times and in theory it should come up heads 50 times aprox. and 50 times tails approx.

However, as any gambler will tell you, in practice you can have long runs of heads or tails. Sooner or later you will get 100 heads or tails in a row, a freak result.

Same in Dom3 with luck 3/turmoil 3, you may only have lets say a 10% chance at a bad event, but its possible to keep rolling that 10% turn after turn...

Also bear in mind that there are bazillions of Dominions players out there "flipping coins", so atleast one of us is bound to come up with such an unlikely streak http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Also, remember that the nation doesn't matter... only the current scale in the provinces conquered. Which is why good scales are so much more useful with high dominion.

In dom2, the way to get money seemed to be order 3/luck-3. In dom3, I have had better experience with turmoil 3/luck3, in fact for most nations I prefer dom9+,turmoil3,sloth3,luck3,growth3 as the way to get a ton of cash. Those 600,1000, and 3000g events really adds up.

As usual, please note that I rather suck at this game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
