Carrion Woods pretender setup

What is worse, a few Groups of militiamen, or a bunch of -100 gold and burned temples and labs events?
Personaly, I'd rather have a few militiamen pop up and get the 1000 gold events than constantly losing gold to bad events.

I'm playing my first MP game w/ CW. I have luck 3, but sure haven't seen any of these "1000 gp" events. Rather, I've gotten huge bunches of militia, which so crippled my economy, that there was an 8 turn period or so where I don't think I even bought one mage. As such, at turn 40, my research is about 1/5 of Caelum's.

the "1% population loss" is per dominion point, so rather unlikely that .6% growth from growth 3 could counteract this ;p
