Yeouch. That province was made of pain and wight mages. That definitely stings a bit.

what did you get? Vampire Count? Bogus and company? plague? that magic storm thing that destroys your gems? there are many bad events that can really devastate you early game, and sometimes even further ahead. some are really game breaking(like a Vampire Count or Bogus and company taking your capital on turns 2-5) some just set you back a lot(plague, magic storm, etc) and some are just bad luck but manageable.

In a same province of misfortune :
consecutively Barbarian horde > Brigands > Villains

It's manageable and immersive, now i love the people of this mysterious forest and border mountain : Autumn was difficult and the climate warming may be...

It was fun to conquest - reconquest - pacify - and hold

And you any good or bad events ?

I haven't seen a random event - good or bad. I was wondering if they were less frequent in MP games.

Should be about the same. But the scales you chose do have a lot to do with it.

Altho in the above case, a province of continual events sounds like there might be a hidden magic site causing misfortune

yeah, there are plenty of random sites causing all sorts of randomness. death/misfortune increasing sites, plague spreading sites, etc. some also come with good attributes such as +1 death gems but spreads plague.

also, going with Order and no luck/misfortune scales reduces the amount of random events you'll get compared to any other combination. Order reduces the chance of random events, both luck and misfortune increase it(for good or bad) so Order3Luck/Misfortune0 could cause a phenomena of having almost no random events. of course luck plays a huge factor in that as well, as always...

I got a lucky gold windfall random right as I ran out of gold. Agartha is progressing, albeit slowly. I'm also near the water, so running into Ryleh shall be interesting if they progress in my direction first.

Agartha and C'tis: leaders in the field of getting mercenaries slaughtered!

You'd think word would get around at some point.

had a relatively slow start, considering the fact that I got an awake SC pretender(obvious from the graphs, nothing new here) yet I'm still the largest nation

so anyway, I really recommend you guys(Ashdod and Agartha for now) to stay clear of the waters, they're mine and you won't be able to kick me out of them any time soon.
