One case where it is a good idea to get Turmoil is when playing AE or SG Ermor
Turmoil-3 Sloth-3 Cold-3 Death-3 Luck-3 Magic-3 is the only way I play either theme.
(And while the constant stream of militia/fanatics events are a nuisance, the stream of +X gold events makes up for it
[not to mention the +gems events, which can be very good considering Ermor uses gems in stead of money])
