Until then I'm afraid I have to remain very sceptical on your observations of these events happening on turn 2.

Attached (assuming i'm doing this right) is an plague hitting Lanka on turn 1 (message start of turn 2). O3 Sl3 H3 D3 Mf2 Mg1 scales, non-CBM.
I also saw a vampire count attack my capitol on turn 3 about 4 test games ago, although I remembered just after I overwrote it with a new test game that I was supposed to be saving such things. (Amusingly, said attack was chased off by monkey PD! Poo fling powers, activate!) |
Let me quickly point out that Plague events are much more a product of Death Dominion than Misfortune. Fortune certainly makes them rarer (and possibly less severe like barbarian attacks), but having growth eliminates them outright. I'm not sure what Growth/Death neutral does.
I'll take your word that bad events can happen to the capital within a few turns. I myself maintain after playing what must be hundreds of SP games to turn 12 with O3Mf2 (though usually with Growth as well) that such occurences are rare or just not "crippling." And even if they truly are a knock out blow such as a capital under siege... better to loose early before you invest a lot of time in a game so you can start another.
