Default Re: What Are the Drawbacks of High Misfortune?

I refuse to take even 1 misfortune or 1 death. And I have fairly decent success in mp games.

In Alpaca when i needed negative scales for a double 9 bless i took 2 drain and 3 sloth. I prefer to get my worthy heroes,
and i prefer to not deal with bad events in the crucial expansion phase.

Things like sloth, cold, and drain can be planned for. Sloth does limit the types of troops you can build, so you take conjuration and summon troops. Drain means you need research boosters. I traded for several research boosters in Alpaca.

But I am someone that likes to plan things out. Others may welcome the unpredictable as the "spice."
