You could still pick Order+3/Sloth+3 and build castles and stack Skeptics in resource-rich mountain provinces. These provinces usually don't provide as much gold as farmlands (which are usually resource poor), so the income hit here would be pretty minimal I think (eg, say a mountain produces ~50 gold or less, you lose just 21% of that, ie at most ~10 gold/turn - not really a big hit).

Depends on if you get those types of provinces and you can expand that early to do so. It's an interesting concept, hard to do initially and your start is fairly slow even with a SC pretender taking provinces alone (I used a Red Dragon).

Definitely a strategy that can be used. Though I don't know if it's overall better than base. I tried base scales (0 Order, 0 Luck) and got on the raw end of events. That might be the only consideration.
