Meglobob, I think you were unlucky with those sea nations. In my first game as EA Atlantis with luck 3 trumaoil 3, I happened to get PD increased events exactly where I wanted them, and many 1000gp sunken ship events. Sea nations I think is one of the better places to have luck because you are likely to have less provinces then a land nation, you only have those 20 admin castles, and for the extra chance to get the hard to find (in the water) air gems.

People complain about those random militia events, but I have never had a problem with them. I usually throw them into some castle to hold off a siege, or to act as foder should some nation decide to try zap my researchers with a ritual spell.
