Maybe you were really unlucky. I tried luck as well as unluck scales, I found them balanced in terms of results. Even with positive luck bad events happen, and even with negative luck god events happen. Also, don't forget that there are many other events that pop loss. If you really think you're getting unbalanced events, and I had that feeling by my own in some games, try this :

- first of all, you'll note that the feeling of unbalanced events always concerns unbalanced bad events Nobody ever complained for excessive good events

- second, if you save your turns in an history folder (I do it for my MP games), just go through your history again and carefully check the events one by one. In my case, what I eventually found is in no way amazing : the "unbalanced bad events" were just an imagination of mine. Once checked and counted the events, the final ratio was seemingly OK for my luck scale. (*) I was just going obsessed by my bad events and forgetting the other (good) ones : gems, increased PD, sometimes population increases, gifts, items for bonus, etc.

(*) I applied the technique for some other games were I was having trouble as well, with always the same result : I am paranoid
