Re: Population
NTJedi,
It's good to see you made it here from the AoW:SM website.
I posted something very much along these lines on this forum when I first started playing Dominions. I'm sure it's controversial, but I agree with you.
You will also notice that barbarians get to pillage your population even if you defeat them when you get the barbarians bad event.
I was told that they have to have these bad events in order to hide that an enemy wizard has cast a very nasty anti-population spell on your province. Of course, that doesn't explain away the lack of good population events.
I will say...I have seen the AI capital's population get as high as 44,000 in a death 2, unluck 2 dominion--with turmoil!! So maybe the AIs benefit from migration away from player provinces. I don't know.
A lot of the bad events are really bad (and permanent), whereas most good events, with the exception of finding resources or gold/silver, are usually temporary. The disparity between good and bad events is so marked in Dominions that folks had a petition to change the luck/order scales going around a while ago. Fortunately, that thread is now buried...but maybe not for long.
