Many thanks for the turn 2 event list vfb. I knew most of the unrest and minor pop killings events were possible on turn 2 (although I don't consider them game ending), but the Plague, Lab Fire and especially Vampire Count event are new to me I must say. Since I thought all of those were only possible from turn 3 onwards. One day someone (me if I get time) will nail down a precise list of just what scales are related to allowing specific events to happen. Since I've never seen a complete/accurate list of this anywhere.
And I guess all those posts I've seen in the past advocating to always recruit a mage on turn 1 are right then
Unless you gamble on Merc mages to re-build your lab.
