Default Re: Thoughts on making \"luck\" equally attractive

Whatever it is, at some point Luck stops scaling as your empire grows. Order never does.
One reason I like Luck is the converse of this - that Luck is overly helpful in the early game. So in the first few turns when +22% income may translate into 80/90 extra gold, a luck event can get you 1000gp. Admittedly it is unpredictable. I am in 2 games now with Luck 3 - one I am coming up short in. The other has been amazing. Every turn I have been able to buy everything I can with money left over. I have permanent income raising events, gems, one time gold events etc. And that is in less than 15 turns. It may not equate to the long-term advantage of order in a math analysis, but qualitatively it is leading to rapid expansion that my gut tells me is better than the bonuses I'd be reaping with Order.
