And that's not counting the heroes, population loss, getting Bogus the Troll, gem theft, etc.
My point was that +3 Scales are not supposed to balance with -3 Scales. +3 Order, +3 Drain would be terrible for most nations. The same with Sloth, Turmoil, or Heat/Cold. Some nations are resistant to one or more negative scales, but that is built into their balance.

You shouldn't try to balance +3 Order with -3 Luck. It's like saying Sight is as important as Hearing, therefore making your vision 75% better is worth reducing your Hearing by 75%.
