Yeah, I don't know why, but when I take any misfortune (even at 1 or 2) I disproportionately get unrest on turn 2 in my capital (maybe it has to do with other scales I typically take). Often it's ~50 (got 90 once!) and it takes a couple turns of no money to rectify, which really hurts at turn 2. After a couple times of that happening I'm rather misfortune averse...

Oh well, that's one of the things about a game like Dominions, it's so complex that there are a whole lot of things that can kick you in the nuts through no real fault of your own...whether it's Bogus camping out on your capital, your SC getting feebleminded from one unlucky point of damage or 4 people ganging up on you. Keeps things interesting though!

33 unrest. I dropped tax to 50 and went for the elephants. Which was most likely a mistake as thinking about it now, im not sure if i was going to win the fight. I was relying a whole lot on some fancy scripting. Tsun Tsu would not be proud. That will teach me to do a turn at 0500.

The same thing happened to me. 50 unrest on the second turn. PAIN!

Lady luck must favor the bold. There were 13 elephants in that independant nation. They stomped all over my pikeman, killed em to the man, but they broke in the end and killed their own army.

Pfffffft, in Eventide I had the plague on turn 2 - 50% pop loss on my capital. Before I hit turn 20 I had the plague again in my capital, which made my capital have less population then some of the other provinces around me. Your little unrest for some turns is a blessing compared to that.

That told me not to take death 3 misfortune 3 anymore...

Nice to see Im not the only one who wants to put another s in Abysia

Hmm, my position seems rather un-nice. Two people right next to me (and when I say right next to me, I mean I'm like 2 provinces away from one and 4-5 away from another one)... I'm getting stuck. ;p And that unrest event in mah home didn't help.

Buhuu!

I'm doing quite poorly. I decided to be a high roller and went fortune/turmoil, and I've got no money events yet - on top of that, I lost one of my three niefel-giant conquest forces (ordinarily more than adequate) to a bunch of wind masters with orb lightning, and now Sauromatia has the province.
