But those scales seem tilted in that it is better to go to a 3/-3 or -3/3 combo (for 0 points) than anything else (be it 0/0 or 3/3). In particular, the 3/3 order/luck combo is very expensive, and barely better than a 3/-3 order/misfortune. Perhaps the Gold bonus on the order scale need to be tuned, but I think the real problem is the events reduction power of that scale. 3 order is just too powerful at stopping random events, totally negating the effect of luck -3

For a nation that produces 100 gold...

+3 Order / -3 Luck = 121 gold
-3 Order / +3 Luck = 79 gold

That is crippling to a turmoil/luck nation.

I would suggest reducing the gold effect of Order to +/- 4% and adding a +/- 2% to the Luck scale.

Maybe they should make Pangaea immune to turmoil tax reduction the way Ulm smiths are immune to drain.
