Oh another point I wanted to reiterate is the economic impact of your dominion push. If you manage to push your dominion into 2/5ths of the enemy territory and it drops their income there by 50%, then that's equivalent to a 20% income drop over their whole nation. That's the equivalent of dropping their entire nation from order-3 to neutral scales. I also pity the poor guy if he took luck scales to as close to half his events are going to be under your misfortune scales. I wouldn't be so sure that you're operating at that much of an economic disadvantage.

Keep in mind that in some ways this is even worse to apply to somebody *after* the beginning of the game once their upkeep has been run up. It hits their marginal income which can be fairly slim...
