Default Re: Thoughts on making \"luck\" equally attractive

Kasnavada,

You're being silly. I haven't made any positive claims[1] and therefore don't require empirical tests to support them. You're being overly sensitive about criticism.

All the same, I've contemplated running a larger test because so many people have done the smaller one and it would be nice to have data on a more representative sample. It's possible that you may have annoyed me into doing so later on this week.

-Max

Edit: [1] Except that "Luck is known to not scale with empire size." If you're disputing that claim, say so and I'll be required to provide evidence. But I think you already know that that claim is true.

P.S. I agree that your test proves that small empires benefit more from Luck than Order.

Well, the exact same can be told about your comments ! Silly and all...

Whatever, believe what you want.

That's a point I don't know about, actually. So many people speak about a 3 event limit and some speak about 6...

Okay, then in that case I do have to support the claim about luck not scaling. I'll do so later this week.

If you manage to find out that what the max limit of event is I'd be interested to know, and possibly make it bigger. It's rather silly that lucks would gets worse when the places where luck events can occur is made bigger...
