Conditions for events

[Endoperez]

Even in DomII, events had requirements. I can't find any mention of it except for my own, and even then I didn't remember where I had read it from.

Sunray's site lists lots of (all?) events, and requirements for some. Examples:

A plague has struck the land. Empty cabins and rotting corpses litter the landscape. Half the population of the province has died. (Rare if Death 1 and common if Death 3).

Hordes of peasants have left their homes in search of a better place to live. (If unrest is 20+ it's a common event unless you have order 3).

This is from http://www.freewebs.com/dominions2/events.html , and hasn't been updated for Dom3 as far as I know.

Got it at first turn of my first mp game with order 1 - growth 1 - misf 1.

I'm almost certain that the event that gives you 3000G, 40 Fire gems, and a magic item is dependant on Luck 3. I've seen it several times using Luck 3 and never when I haven't.

If your playing a race that dosnt need much income (such as MA ulm who dosnt need it for much other than buildings) you should try turmoil 3, luck 3 and a few other decent scales. with +30% chance of events combined with +39% chance of being good AND access to the best evens you get alot of nice things when you have a large empire (as ashen empire im always turmoil, sloth, death, cold, luck and magic maxed)

Or a nation that depends on a lot of gems, you get multiple "handful of X gems" events nearly every turn when your dominion gets bigger.

One of the very nice events that afaik requires luck 3 and possibly growth 3 and perhaps even some turmoil goes something like "Suddenly thousands of people moved into the province". It's from Dom2 and doesn't appear in Sunray's list, but I got it once as Mictlan with luck and growth 3 and turmoil 1. A province with ~15,000 population jumped to ~20,000 or something like that, a massive increase.

Yes, it's good that Luck is actually a viable strategy rather that the overused O3/M3 Dom2 combo.
But catastrophic events should still not fire after at least 6 turns, whatever the luck/turmpil setting.
