the events you get are definitely associated with your scales (beyond luck influencing you to the positive side. Turmoil definitely seems to push the barbarian horde and witch curse events.

I definitely have noticed it more recently. But that might be because I wasn't going turmoil before. Witch curse, barbarian horde aand knights attacking. When I have death scales more vampires and necromancers seem to attack.

Well it would seem that I was just unlucky in my first test game (Irony? ). In my second test game things are playing more like i expected.

I'm starting to think that Luck is very heavily dependent on a strong friednly dominion for you. Taking control of Luck-neutral provinces makes you vulnerable to bad events.

I did some test with luck 3 turmoil 3 magic 3 and lady of fortune. I didn't get a bad event until turn 20 or so and that was in an outlying province. I did get a whole bunch of ridiculously good events like olegs device, mages comign to help etc.. and a heroe two turns in a row..
But the payoff for all that really wouldn't help in a blitz game.

I tried a test game playing niefelheim turmoil 3 luck 3 magic 3, sloth 1-2ish (can't remember) growth 3.

I got bad events nearly every turn of the game. The most common was "cursed for the rest of their lives" and barbarian hordes attacking provinces. I received good events as well, but there seemed to be something else at play.

I play Pangaea nearly exclusively, and always with turmoil 3 luck 3, and it is black and white as far as events go compared to my niefelheim game.

I am going to do another test game to see if it was just very abyssmal luck on my testing.

The only real difference besides it being two different nations I can think of is the cold scale, but surely the cold scale would not trigger the events I was getting.
I am glad someone else could duplicate my results, and that I was not hallucinating.

I did NOT have a Turmoil scale.

That may be true, but my string of misfortunes occurred on my home province: Niefelheim.
