I'll note that I quite often take Luck-3. I also play with CBM routinely, which IIRC increases the probability of events being 'good' with Luck-3 to 95% (from 90%). And I _still_ have gotten labs burned down or temples hit by earthquakes in the first 3 turns.

However, since I play SP, I can simply start a new game with the same parameters if I don't feel like suffering from that handicap.

I also play nations with fortunetellers a lot to more or less guarantee good events in those provinces.

Yeah, I don't like bad events. However, barring an option to out-and-out remove all random events from the game (with the attendant nulling of the Luck scale), I have no issue with the current system.
