What do you recommend for Ashen Empire Scales and Domain ?

I went luck+3 in my Last game. But... it's worthless! There are no good events. None. Good events depend on your scales, and if all your scales are -3, the only "good" event is the necromancer showing up (due to death 3, I imagine). However, because "free" "volunteers" still demand pay, that's a major negative. Sometimes militia show up, too - that can be crippling... they die of disease, and cost you a good 128 gold in so doing (25 units * 7 gold each * 11 turns to die from disease)/15.

So - DON'T choose luck! Luck is worthless to ashen empire. You don't even get many gems, due to the drain scale.

Next time I design an Ashen god, it will be -3 all scales, cheapest (gold-wise) castle, Dominion 9, an undead - possibly immortal - god, and the rest on magic paths. Don't worry about bless effects, BTW... knights are super-rare no matter what you do, and only have 6 or 7 HP (any fire spell annihilates them).
