3 years is only 36 turns, which-considering the amount of strategic choices you can make-might be a lot for some people or nothing at all for others.
36 turns is a long ways into a small map blitz game. That would make taking unluck a no-brainer. We would have new people complaining then because to some thats all that Dominions is.

And I mentioned lab because if you have no mages and you lose your only lab then you will wait for a hero or a merc that has magic in order to build one. With the loss of a temple you just need your prophet.

And Im pretty sure that the most extreme events are already supposed to be limited in the initial turns. Only taking the most extreme scales can make you that unlucky since I think it never quite goes to zero.
