Maybe there isn't a limit of three random events?

Yeah me too.
I figure if he is too lazy to type, he is probably to lazy to think about what he writes too.

r instead of are and u instead of you is used widely on the internet but here (as i had to learn when i first started posting here) typing things correctly is generally the way to go.

We're so much smarter than the internet at large, is why...

Get with the times people. There is nothing wrong with r instead of are or u instead of you. This is the 21st century don't u know!

My impression is that events are generated per province rather than per empire in Dominions 3. Events happen to neutral provinces, so I don't see how or why the game would cut you off after 3.

If you had a large enough empire, it seems that 4 events per turn is inevitable.

If there isn't a hard limit on 3, then there is at least some mechanism to prevent the number of events from scaling with your empire size. It's quite common to have 1-2 events with, say, 5 provinces, but it's quite rare (almost always, when I do, either one looks like it's been caused by a spell, or like it appeared in an enemy/neutral province and I conquered it) to have more than 3 if you have, say, 30-40+ provinces.

Maybe its just logarithmical growth?
Something like:
MaxEvents = ln(#provinces+1)/ln(10)+1

I'm not sure removing the cap is a good idea. Reading through dozens of "witch's curses" every turn doesn't sound like fun to me.

Hmmm. I wonder if you could try using a turmoil-3 misfortune-3 dominion if you had enough forune-tellers/seers to remove the bad events in your own provinces and push it on to your neighbours? It would also make someone think twice about invading if they knew they were going to get hit by barbarian invasions in every province they took every turn.

The "3 events per turn" meme is directly from Dom2, a bit like the "fire bless is 8 ap fire damage" meme (it's 6 ap nowadays). I'd like to see the event cap gone, as that'd make you really ask yourself whether you want to pick misfortune in a game you expect to have a large empire. :E

...and man, does it feel strange to read Finnish in the middle of all the English text. Ties knots to my brain... even if I started it.
