Re: Order +3 Luck -3 : still a no-brainer

Did you play a Lady of Fortune, perchance?
To put things in perspective, in my Last try with Marignon/DF (turmoil+1, heat+1, growth+1, luck+3, magic+1), with common events, in 20 turns I got:
- 1 +200 gold event
- 1 +2 air gems event
- 1 extra item (Boots of Long Strides)
- 2 festivals held in my capital
- 1 hero (Carmont the Cardinal)
- 1 gem-stealing thief (lost 8 fire gems)
- 1 plague (in the capital)
- 2 brigand events (one happened in the capital)
- 3 strange events causing unrest and cursing a total of 27 units (one happened in the capital)
- 1 emigration event (in a 2k province, luckily)
The plague happened in turn 10, and since plagues kills more than half the pop and also cause some unrest, my income took such a big hit I couldn't even pay for my upkeep and had a couple units desert. I was unable to recruit anything before turn 14.
OTOH I played a very similar design earlier, with a Lady of Fortune, and didn't have a single bad event in ~30 turns.
