Luck : +1 => Turn 2 => lab destroyed event !!!

If you lost the lab on turn 2, it's your own damned fault for not recruiting a mage.

This statement doesn't make any sense. How could recruiting a mage help prevent his lab from burning down?

On another note: While recruiting a mage is often an important first step for many nations, there are a few where expanding quickly is more important. In these cases limiting your early expansion because you are betting on your lab burning down in turn 2 with +1 luck scales is probably a bad idea.
