Luck/Misfortune Nerf.

[Ygorl]

I guess I wouldn't mind seeing some of the more far-out events limited to those nations with far-out luck (good or bad). It's not really the case that a run of bad luck means the game is totally over, though... For example, in a multiplayer game, I lost 2/3 of my home population in the first two turns, and then suffered massive unrest in the third turn - with no misfortune scales! My income was decimated, but I made friends with my neighbors, survived, and am now one of the stronger nations in the game. Single-player is different, of course, but single-player it's not such a big deal to start a new game if you get hosed ten minutes into it.
