Default Re: Do Luck/Misfortune scales work properly ?

I think everyone just kindof waved me off but I was serious about playing with a god that gave ALL blessings (well all lvl 4 and one or two lvl 9). To get that you have to take -3 on all scales with almost no castle.

I expected to have to play with really low dominion and plan on pretty much abandoning the home province before turn 10 (when the really bad stuff kicks in) but it turned out to be surprisingly playable with not nearly as bad effects as I expected. Even with -3 magic my god had 42 or 43 research which allowed a nice boost toward certain spells I thought would help aleviate the other effects.

I expected to have to tweak it to just the blessings most helpful in order to buy back some of the scales. But all in all it turned out much more playable than I expected.
