Other than the fact that it made order almost useless once you had some patrollers in your home province?

Order was still awesome up to that point. I remember the argument that turmoil/luck was the way to go because in the long term you got more income. The big problem is that a turmoil/luck race facing an order race in Dom1 often had no long term future. A large part of preparing for the long terms is getting the start right.

The clear advantage turmoil/luck races had in Dom1 is that order races cost more as misfortune was not a good option. Now days order costs the same as turmoil/luck as misfortune is no big deal when you have order.

Order was very strong in Dom1.

I do agree with Graham that we can't go back because too much else has changed.
