Has luck been accidentally nerfed...

[Twan]

... by the last patch. Or is it just an impression ?

I currently play a game with luck 3 / turmoil 2 / magic 3 / growth 3 scales. I have a rather big empire (30+ provinces, about 3/4 with my luck scale).

The ten turns before the patch I never had less than 3 events a turn, with a large majority of gems events and occasionnal gold (including a 3000gp) and only two time militias in 35 turns.

Compared to that, the turns played since the last patch seem exceptionally crappy : I had 2 turns with only 2 events and even a turn with only one, and got in total only one gem event and only one (200) gold event, 2 times the new "lowborn warriors" event, 2 times a flagellant event, a merchants prosperity decreasing faith in a province, and all other events were bandits (3 times in 5 turns, really strange with luck 3).

May the events table or luck mechanics have been altered by the addition of the new ones or is it just exceptionnal real bad luck ? Has someone else find luck behavior strange in 3.14 ?

Are you sure your luck is still up in all of your provinces? Scales reportedly disappear strangely...

I have to concur with the OP. It may be my imagination, but since the last patch luck doesn't seem what it used to be. I sometimes like to play Pangaea with 3 turmoil 3 luck, where I depend on the income from good events to fill in my armies of freespawn and summoned troops (gotten with all the gems).

Since the patch, I RARELY get income events, and have NEVER gotten the 3k+magic item event. I still get a fair amount of gems, and it seems like the 'zealous followers' event happens more often. And yes, it seems like I get fewer events. Not only since 3.14 but even since 3.10.

Then again, we are talking about something that happens by chance, so it is hard to say for sure. But I can't help but indulge a feeling that luck has been nerfed.

but then again, when you can go 3 turmoil 3 luck and come out ahead of 3 order 3 misfortune; I suppose it maybe needed to be nerfed. It does, however, make turmoil-luck scales something I just can't see taking anymore though.

I had the impression that under 3.14 the misfortune events are more mean then before.

It's probably just impressions.

My scales look normal.

I agree with Twain luck does seem nerfed.
