Re: Luck/Order scales after 2.06 Patch
Catquiet,
The order scale does have a built-in negative. But only folks inclined to take luck will experience it....
It reduces the benefit of positive luck! The lower overall event frequency is the price you pay for taking order.

Re: Luck/Order scales after 2.06 Patch
Just ran a few hundred rounds of luck testing.
Results look very similar to Last Version.
Turmoil-3 is a killer.
Order-3 Misfortune-3 provides slightly less income than O-3 L-3 but nets you a ton of nation points.
I don't think this adjustment does much to address the issues.
A better method would be to remove the more dire events. There aren't corresponding good events. Plus nobody likes them. They do nothing to help the game, and they are unbalancing the luck/order scales.

Re: Luck/Order scales after 2.06 Patch
Apoger,
Can you tell me what you are doing to test it?
Are you playing with common or rare events?
And how much territory do you control. I never seem to have much problem with unluck until I get a decent sized empire, then it becomes like a death scale with all the horrible random disasters.

No, they could just be restricted to -2 and -3 luck provinces. No reason to eliminate them. -2 and -3 luck need to be made worse or I'll keep choosing them every time for every nation.

So your solution to misfortune being a no brainer is making it better?

I take it you would prefer to leave misfortune without effect so you could have high incomes and many events that are mainly good

Re: Luck/Order scales after 2.06 Patch
IMHO luck is now a beautiful thing. I have run 10 turns of a test using Order 1, Luck 3. In those 10 turns I have had: The province defense of my capital increased by 10. A 100 gold event. A 500 gold event. A set of militia join. A group of immigrants increase the pop of one of my provinces by 25%. No negative events yet.

I don't understand this. There *are* corresponding good events. And removing the dire events would increase the incentive to take misfortune 3, further unbalancing the luck/order scales, not helping to balance them.
