Okay, what's up with the bad luck? I'm at Luck +1, yet my unrest in my province is up to 50 due to 2 random events this turn, plus 1 in the previous turn or turn before that. And we're only on turn 9. How many brigands can take up residence in my capital for crying out loud??

<<Grrr!>>

That's one of the reasons Zen (and others) have modded the luck scale. Unmodded, even a positive luck scale in effect increases the likelihood of bad events, since it causes more events in general, while not causing much of a bias towards good events.

Even with Luck 3, I've seen two horrificly bad events happen in the same early turn : pre-turn 3, the temple burns down and my capitol lost 50% of its population. Oooh, I felt LUCKY!!

Ah... now I see why it's best to use Zen's mods. Or, don't take any luck/misfortune scales.


New turn is up.
