What Are the Drawbacks of High Misfortune?

DonCorazon said:An interesting thought is that all these bonus events from high luck, such as merchants and tax surpluses, might generate more gold than the +x% you get from high order combined with misfortune. I haven't thought this out but just thinking that most provinces have pretty low income to start with, and then when you add on lost income from barbarian invasions and time to recapture, plus negative event income drains, High order may not be as lucrative as high luck.

A player ran some tests on this and basically the upshot is Order 3 Misfortune 3 results in more gold income for the first 30 - 40 turns.

Then turmoil 3 luck 3 equals and overtakes it, giving you more gold overall.

However, the first 30 turns of a game is the 'crucial' part of the game usually as it sets you up how you are going to do throughout the entire game.

This is why order 3 misfortune 3 is often viewed as the best option.

The scale you after really avoid taking (other then LA Ermor) is death 3. Death 3 is just eventual suicide in anything other than a blitz, very small game.
