Is luck scale ever worth it? I have luck 3 and this is my last turn's events (all four in their glory ):

I have taken luck 3 in a game I'm playing which is now at turn 60. I had hoped for those "great riches have been found" events to boost my development, didn't even have to be the 3000 gold one, 1500 gold would have been enough. It never ever came. On the other hand, I had lots of those "a hero shows up and wants to fight for your cause" events, which help in late game now. In my other games, I usually take slight misfortune scales, which increase the chance for random events, too. I am currently getting regularly overrun by barbarians and other traveling folk, which might be due to me picking low dominion and unrest in the provinces. In another game I had misfortune with high dom and there were quite a number of good events (as in magical gems).

First, you need to spread your dominion so that the luck works. If your provinces don't have the luck symbols they don't have increased chance for good events. It needs to be YOUR dominion, too. Second, the types of events you get depend on your other scales. "A very ill omen" is common and negligible. Population leaving usually only happens if you took Turmoil instead of Order. Locust swarms might be due to dominion not being spread in the provinces well enough. And on top of it all, it's what it says: pure luck.

And talking about Roscrowther game, i find LA Abysia quite difficult to handle. Most troops are damn expensive at least at this stage of the game and the majority of sorcerers have old age and catch afflictions easily. I better start thinking some general strategy before i find that most of the cake has been eaten by others.

I heard that LA Abysia can be quite a challenge, yes. I hope it's still a good learning experience to you. You might want to test out your troops in SP games first before using them.
