Ack, it's not!? No wonder luck seems worse to me than it should be, and misfortune better! This was a very thematic effect in Dom 1, and certainly wasn't overpowered.
Returning it would be a definite improvement, with IMHO no chance of unbalancing turmoil/luck. Order 3 gives 13/7 the income of Turmoil 3 -- a nearly insurmountable difference! Even were Order/Turmoil changed to 5% income change per level this would IMHO still not be a problem.
Order/turmoil was already chagned to 7% per step in Dom II, so Order 3 gives 121/79 the income of Turmoil 3 - a huge difference, but what do you expect for 240 nation points? You can get a new path to 9 with most pretenders for that many points. Or buy 6 other positive scales (luck, growth and magic all come to mind as possibilities - at least if the current problems with luck are fixed).
