Yeah, games with huge amounts of gold really add a lot of weight to order scales. It's very tough to justify not going with order under 250% gold settings. That said, late game you would still be better off with luck due to r'lyeh's domkill dominion. So best decide now whether to shoot for a strong early game with order, or a stronger late game with luck but a less aggressive start. Dominion is also an important consideration. If you keep most of your provinces outside of your dominion you'll have a much higher income, but you'll be much easier to domkill... and not have as much freespawn. Which is better? I'm not sure, games like that are pretty crazy and a bit out of the box. I have the feeling you'd be stronger with a gold-centric strategy though.
