Sauromatian units

I'm not sure the misfortune prevention units are as good as they seem.

The worst consequence of high misfortune (especially with death) is a catastrophic event in the first few turns. You won't have enough Enaries/Soothsayers at that point to have a good chance of stopping it.

Later on, you can protect a few key provinces, but for a lot of events it doesn't really matter where they happen (gold loss/gem loss/etc). And you'll still be losing provinces to indy attacks. Not the important ones, but you'll still have to retake them, and the important ones are fortified/garrisoned anyway.
Since there's a 3 even/turn limit, so events stopped by misfortune preventers count against that limit, or does it just let another event happen elsewhere?
