Well, a couple of things, firstly I should clarify, that fortune 3 / turmoil 3 is (IMHO) about the same as order/turmoil 0. Secondly, its not the once in 100 turns 1500 gold events (though those are nice) that make up most of the income, but the +100/200 gold ones which happen much more often. I won't complain about how only order/turmoil is compared +3/-3, and not to balanced scales (you dont say magic 3 give all mages +6 research do you?) even if its a bit weird (I guess that that's sort of a complaint). Also, you can do a lots with 240 pretender points, and you don't have the random knight/vampire attacks, as well as the nasty temple/lab killing events. Single player of course is very different, but even in multiplayer I'm not sure that some compromise like order 1 / balanced fortune or turmoil 1 / luck 1 might not be better, as they do let you take higher starting dominion, a bigger fort or w/e.
