I am just very happy that they gave us the mod tools we already have. Everyone can make the scales the way they like the scales in SP. Whatever feels right to you.
So no one loses any of his toys.
And the old order/misfortune combination can still be used in SP just by making events rare. Except that that feels like cheating just a bit.
I'm going to try order/misfortune in a SP game with events set to "common." But I'm not looking forward to all of those bad events. I suspect it will be worse than a death scale of 3. Because we're talking no overall reduction in events (which was formerly at least half the benefit of taking order) and 80% of the events will be bad.
I'm starting to think that Order0 Luck3 might be interesting to play. Because it will increase events some though not too much.
If anyone uses the Cherry Mod and takes misfortune-3, I would love to hear their tales of woe. Because with events increased by 21% (assuming order zero) and 89% of them bad, I think you will be in dire straits.
What I love about the ability to mod is that we will be able to gain experience with the game and then change the scales to our own points of indifference. This would be especially true if we were allowed to give them non-linear effects. How much turmoil will you accept for 120 design points? Unfortunately, changing the scales will have unintended consequences for how some of the nations with forced turmoil play if the scales were lessened to one's point of indifference. I guess I will just use default scales when I play around with tien'chi.
