Eh, since when has not taking misfortune helped that much? I mean - I take Luck-3 _every_ game. And in every one of five MP games, I've had to re-take provinces from random events. In one, by turn 15 I'd lost provinces _four_ times, meaning that I essentially lost any chance at being a contender.

Luck _still_ doesn't do nearly enough.
Wild guess... those provinces were under a misfortune dominion? Remember, having a good dominion is little use if you don't push it

I have no idea if this is an effective strategy, but for the who-needs-a-pretender-anyway-strategy (where I usually choose a fountain, imprisoned) and go for max dominion, disorder3,magic3,prod3,grow3,heat0... I very rarely see any misfornate events, except along the border until my pretender breaks free. Lots of gold=>lots of temples=>more dominion push. And more priests to push it quicker too.
