A player ran some tests on this and basically the upshot is Order 3 Misfortune 3 results in more gold income for the first 30 - 40 turns.

Then turmoil 3 luck 3 equals and overtakes it, giving you more gold overall.
Anyone have a link to the thread?
Here is a link:-

I am sure there was a more in depth thread somewhere but I can't find it!

I refuse to take even 1 misfortune or 1 death. And I have fairly decent success in mp games.

In Alpaca when i needed negative scales for a double 9 bless i took 2 drain and 3 sloth. I prefer to get my worthy heroes,
and i prefer to not deal with bad events in the crucial expansion phase.

Things like sloth, cold, and drain can be planned for. Sloth does limit the types of troops you can build, so you take conjuration and summon troops. Drain means you need research boosters. I traded for several research boosters in Alpaca.

But I am someone that likes to plan things out. Others may welcome the unpredictable as the "spice."

Suuuuuuuure.

That thread does compare Order3 & Luck3 more than once, but never Order3/Misfortune3 & Luck3/Turmoil3.

I've always liked Order. I wonder how Misfortune1, 2 & 3 compares or if there is a sweet spot in Luck1, 2 or 3 (similiar to Drain2).
