I tried luck as well as unluck scales, I found them balanced in terms of results.
that'd make them unbalanced. After all, you PAY for good luck. And dearly, at that.

I don't understand
Luck enhances your chances of having god events, unluck increases the chance of having bad events. You've got what you paid for, isn't it balanced ?

I think he means balanced in the sense that luck is as good for you as misfortune is bad.

I'd certainly say I found Misfortune 2 rather aggravating, mostly for repeated rebellions and the occasional demolished building. You'd be surprised how beneficial it is to not only have a stream of extra gold/gems/PD but be very unlikely to have disruptions across your empire.

True, and depending on what nation you play, even the militia events might actually be big boosts, especially early in the game. LA Abysia comes to mind, they get some of the light Abysian infantries from a militia events, so getting something like 70 of those in one go in the first few turns for example is an awesome boost.
