Niefelheim disasters--bug?

As for Dominions, I play a lot with Luck, but not yet as Niefelheim. One recent example: Oceania, Order 0, Cold 3, Luck 3. Turn 71. Generally results have been quite good within my dominion. I don't remember any serious bad results in my home province.

the events you get are definitely associated with your scales (beyond luck influencing you to the positive side. Turmoil definitely seems to push the barbarian horde and witch curse events.

I definitely have noticed it more recently. But that might be because I wasn't going turmoil before. Witch curse, barbarian horde aand knights attacking. When I have death scales more vampires and necromancers seem to attack.

Well it would seem that I was just unlucky in my first test game (Irony?

). In my second test game things are playing more like i expected.

I'm starting to think that Luck is very heavily dependent on a strong friednly dominion for you. Taking control of Luck-neutral provinces makes you vulnerable to bad events.

I did some test with luck 3 turmoil 3 magic 3 and lady of fortune. I didn't get a bad event until turn 20 or so and that was in an outlying province. I did get a whole bunch of ridiculously good events like olegs device, mages comign to help etc.. and a heroe two turns in a row..
But the payoff for all that really wouldn't help in a blitz game.

That may be true, but my string of misfortunes occurred on my home province: Niefelheim.

I did NOT have a Turmoil scale.
