Adept, I usually use high magic boost instead of productivity - and long casting/summoning/enchanting/crafting instead of brutal meat rush. But if I choose Order OR Turmoil- first pick looks more useful
-
Zeldor, "...conquering enemy provs, where events happened"- how it works? I can "capture" enemy event and bonus, or just message about it?

3 hard cap. Other events are either rituals, or having conquered someone else's province and stolen their event. ie, as Zeldor said.

The only moment misfortune can kill you are first 10 turns. Talking about O3/Mi2 you can get some ugly unrest events. Like really ugly events that shouldn't exist at all - for example 60 unrest from one event [it is possible to get over 100 unrest in one turn, 2 events]. That can really screw you. But that is quite small risk compared to what you get for that points [and you can always join a new game, instead of slowly losing].

As I said, proof has been posted on this boards several times before. I don't feel the need to go searching for it again. As far as I'm concerned anyone who is dead set on believing there's a 3 event cap may continue to do so. I'm just being moderatly insistent for the benefit of newer player who might be reading this thread.

I'm not quite sure, but I think there are two different 3000g events, one restricted to O3, but the other unrestricted. (Or at least with other restrictions)

Just to confirm that there is no hard cap of 3 events... I just had a turn with 4 good events out of 23 total provinces. None of the events were in provinces I captured that turn.

hi fungal. if you could include the trn file, we could see which events are shown.

It is also possible that a 4th event occur in the same province as the 3rd; there's still a cap, but there are a couple ways this can be exceeded. the basic argument is not affected though: that luck does not scale really beyond 3/turn for large empires, and hence has a diminishing return. Your huge empire will almost always get 3 events max.

Sometimes the free magic items are really nice and otherwise expensive. I´ve gotten Banners of the Northern Star at times, and other high level goodies.
