Random items not random?

You got a Ring of Wizardry as a random item????

I've got Robe of the Archmagi, once. It was annoying, because I got TWO great treasures on the turn I lost against AI as Mictlan, and the reason I lost because I couldn't summon an Arch Devil because I lacked a booster. I think that must be some kind of a hard-coded learning experience.

In my SP Bogarus game I got Baba Yaga on the 1st turn, and on the 2nd turn I got a Dwarven Hammer from and event, and another Dwarven Hammer from the indy province I conquered. I take luck 3 in most of my SP games, just because it's fun and the lost points serve to help the AI a little.

Yea, I have had a ring of wizardry once as a random magic item from a luck event, sadly it was in a SP game and not MP. Its very rare only happened once in countless games and I do tend to take luck 3 whenever I can.

Overall, I would say the items are random, had allsorts from the magic item tables, everything except artifacts, you don't get them randomly.

The best I have had in MP are a dwarvern hammer early on (like turn 2 or so), skull mentors, a brazen vessel (when I was playing a blood nation) to name a few.

I've played luck 3 in two games that went to 70+ turns and I can't think of a single good item that I got in either game.

Lots of gems and money, but no items.

I've received a clam of pearls on turn_3 from a battle.

During a hotseat MP game one of my human opponents found a ring of sorcery from an event.

When having a summoned commander explore 'city of the damned' during an SP game I found a second unique artifact, thus two identical unique artifacts existed during the game.
(not even the Wish spell could make that happen.)

I've also gotten a Ring of Wizardry, a Staff of the Ivy King, and a Staff of the Elements in different games, as well as tons of trinkets. I usually play SP w/ Luck 3, 'cause it's fun.
