Big Problem - Unbalanced random events

[PvK]

There are so many players who quit as soon as they run into some serious bad luck. It's really too bad. Against the AI, these events provide unique and difficult challenges which players will never face if the they just quit whenever something really tough happens. In a multi-player game, quitting when something bad happens is, well, quitting on the other players. Serious bad events are part of the game and can happen to everyone. Any low scales increase those risks - that's a big part of why they are worth creation points, and restarting whenever those events actually happen is like trying to gamble but refusing to pay up on a loss. Especially against the AI or in a large MP game, there are plenty of opportunities to overcome such problems.

Many players though do seem to have a hard time getting this, so for them it does seem like they would benefit from more scenario options and/or nation options that would severely reduce the possibility of bad events. Also it might help if the documentation had some more explanation of how serious random events are part of the game, and how all the scales (not just Luck) impact them.
