But there are 'early' turns, and then there are turns 1-3. Bad events in the 'early' turns are rarely game ending, but getting one in the first 1-3 turns can be.

KO has stated that no really bad event can happen before turn 3-4, as linked and referenced by myself in one of the above posts. But it would be useful to establish if there are any potentially crippling events that don't follow KO's statement, or if KO's staement is just incorrect. For example, I am 99% certain that in three years of playing, I have not ever had my capital attacked by Indy's at the start of turn 2. Which does follow KO's statement.

What Squirrelloid has attempted to do with his attached save game is show that there is at least one exception to KO's statement. And it is something I am interested in seeing once he attaches everything required to access it.

Unfortunately, I am not someone who readily believes statements about the game mechanics unless I can be shown my understanding is incorrect. So just saying "Every bad event can happen on early turns" means almost nothing to me personally. No offence intended to anyone of course, I just always like things backed-up if they go against my knowledge
