Default Re: Event listing

There's been games where I was NOT eliminated early by Misfortune, but I still regretted being hit by at least 3 Earthquake w/Troglodyte events. Then there are Knights, but those are more of a misfortune two.

Misfortune can be crippling to an inflexible nation such as ME Agartha, but isn't so hostile to a more dynamic nation, such as Yomi or Tien Chi, with their variety of troop types.

If you've got archers, or even slingers, maybe light infantry with javelins, you've got all you need to deal with Barbarians.

If you don't have easily available chaff, combined with at least middling high damage (human with glaives/pikes are a starting point, certainly NOT shortswords), Knights will be a horrible pain.

As well, Agartha needs temples and libraries for most of its commanders, often having very focused research goals. Even f it doesn't take you out early, Misfortune will cause you quite a few headaches. Yes, even with order 3, misfortune 2.

Yomi, on the other hand, has sacred mages, priests, non-sacred mages, etc. I've had nice results with fortune and luck bringing in the death gems (I went from 20 to 100 over a few turns at 8 site income), but Yomi is more capable of handling the random events of Turmoil/Misfortune.
