The most dreadful (random) event?
The most dreadful event for me is magic waning event. I lost several hundred gems to this event in a SP game.
What's your most feared random event?

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
This isn't the most dreadful but was pretty ironic:
I was playing MA Pyth and just engineered a big trade to get a lot of blood slaves, hoping to empower a Theurg (dastardly I know) and get a blood economy going. I immediately had two events in a row where daring raiders broke into my dungeons and freed my blood slaves.
It was one of those Dom 3 moments that despite the pain makes you smile. My evil plans to corrupt the holy empire were thwarted by bold adventurers.

Plague - Specifically when it occurs in your capital.
My favorite "bad" event, on the other hand, is Bogus. <3 Bogus

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
To prevent valuable gem (and especially slaves for non-blood nations) loss events I try to give them to commanders until I need them.
Plague is a real disaster. OTOH it may be quite good if it is late stage and not valuable low-pop province. It generates so many corpses that you can easily raise legions of cannon fodder with Carrion Reanimation.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Well getting an event that gives 50 unrest in your capitol on turn one is pretty annoying in MP .. your econ will be effectively crippled more than anything else since it's in your only high income province.. and at the worst possible time

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
I would fear getting that event that raises a bunch of manikins and completely wipes out the population of a province, in my home province.

Losing my Temple in the first year is definitely the worst for me.

Never met such one. Maybe it is nations specific? |
