Does anyone else think that most random events are bad and that the good ones hardly make up for the bad ones such that having order scales is a very nice thing?
The bad events I keep getting involve things like floods and earthquakes destroying population permanently. I don't see new migrants adding to the workforce of any provinces. Brigand events and higher taxes events kind of cancel each other out.
One time I had a barely guarded new combat hero with a full deck of items going to my front lines...and 5 heroes who considered my realm "unjust" appeared in the square where he was. This was between my two forts and their presence reduced my resources at the forts dramatically. Not counting the items I lost...which in turn made these already powerful heroes that much more difficult to kill. When I did kill them, I didn't get all of their good magical items. I did end up with "precious," but it seemed hardly worth what I had to do to get it.
I tried Ctis with order 3....everything was so predictable. I hope when I get the game the manual will explain the scales in detail. I think order gives more revenue, too...which is always helpful.
