Niefelheim disasters--bug?

[Epaminondas]

Ok, I got my full game last night, and I started playing my favorite race from Dom II: Niefelheim.

But here's the problem, and I am thinking it must be a bug. Basically, I am getting hit with a disaster on nearly every turn (I started counting from turn 20, and in the 32 turns I've played since then, it's happened on 27 turns!). And by "disaster," I mean the event where I lose 5 percent of population and a few other nasty things.

Now, you may ask about my luck scale, but it's on plus 3 luck! So I don't see how this could happen on nearly every turn. Is this a Niefelheim bug? Or is this a spell that the AI is casting on me? I don't think it's a spell because it started happening around turn 10, and that's a bit early for the AI to have researched it--if such a spell even existed.

Anyways, I got so frustrated that I deleted the game, as I ran out of money and population and there was no way I could win (I had 7 opponents, and they were all on impossible).

And I even had my prophet who had over 500 HPs and 80 strength due to Unequaled Obesity who had already killed over 1000 units!
