Various questions

[Squirrelloid]

Are they an independent effect, or do they increase the local luck scale? Because i think its based on local luck scale.

My presumption was they increased the luck scale.
Either way, my tests were done G3L3 vs G3L3 with LoF.

The Lady of Luck does not increase luck scale. She provides a separate bonus percentage to good events. Llamabeast's EGDM Firebird provides the same bonus, presumably, since it's copystatted. The Bogarusian firebird provides a small bonus to the same effect. I can say that with > 100 Bogarusian firebirds in a province, it did not seem to discernibly improve crossbreeding effects. However, terrain (apparently) seems to have an effect, and I would recommend casting it in mountains or wastes vs. plains. That could just be observer bias, though, since after I seemed to notice it, I did all my castings there.

I did a lot of testing on terrain with transformation, and some testing on crossbreeding.

It clearly makes a difference on transformation. On crossbreeding I prefer swamps.

Ok.. Some counter intuitive results.

With 350 odd casts, Order3/cold3 gave twice as many steller results as Turmoil3/heat3

The freak lord was also on the losing side of that equation.
There were no variations that I can ascribe to anything other than chance across the terrains of wood, waste, and mountain.

Also, I don't know if its documented in the manual.. but starving seems to increase province unrest....
