Default Re: luck events

One comment on this: you compare the gold you got from luck to what you would have made from order, but you neglect to mention that (a) order doesn't get you any gems, items or heroes, and (b) order without luck will get bad events too.

Has anyone done a series of tests with, say, every 0-point combination of order and luck (order 3 misfortune 3, order 2 misfortune 2, ..., turmoil 3 luck 3)? If the bad events outweigh (even though they don't outnumber) the good events for lucky nations, how bad are they for unlucky ones?

Does anyone know if national heroes cost upkeep? They could be a pretty big factor if they are upkeep free (if not, then they are "just" as valuable as an equivalent unit - although some of them don't really have an equivalent unit, such as Auluudh the Aboleth, Chuzrael the Demonbred Slayer, any of the level 5 uberpriests).
