I think they don't. I remember reading something similar in the Pangaea strategy thread.

Order doesn't give you "bad event tolerance". There's enough synergy that Order 3/Misfortune 1-2 is considered safe, but nothing more. If Order only negated bad events, imagine Order 3 Luck 3 - lots of money AND only good events!

Turmoil enables some of the raiders, but IIRC unrest does the same - so even in Order 3 lands, if you have unrest you might get barbarians. I'm not sure whether knights require order or turmoil, but I think they take turmoil. Villains are probably also turmoil. These are FAR from the worst events, because you can always conquer the provinces back.

I like the original idea of the blood 9 bless but it needs some improvements, maybe an autoaffliction (or a chance of one) for the attacker.

Air bless should get a complete redesign. Maybe something fire-bless equal for ranged attack. +precision (and maybe even +arrow protection) from Lv 4 on and as Level 9 bless something like lighning damage from arrows or as alternaive an effect equal to charge-body.

fire, water, astral, nature, earth and death are fine and shouldn't be changed.

Bless that affected ranged attacks would most probably affect ranged spells as well. I don't like limiting the Air bless to just ranged units and aim, either. One Mirror Image at level 9 would be nice.

I would like to see a curse touch for Blood 9. Like the magic weapons who curse anyone they touch. I think it would be balanced.

I am scared of the mirror image for Air but now that its been nerfed shouldn't be that bad.

Pre-nerf mirror image would have been pretty damned nasty. Right now it sounds a lot better than the worthless shock resistance. It also gives a nice synergy with the air shield.

Exactly - Air Shield and mirror image combine to make something that should be pretty much like the old Mirror Image, AND it works well for the Heims. But if the Vans have Air 9, they don't have F9W9. F9A9 or W9A9 couldn't be worse that that, could they?

Air 9 giving mirror image is pretty useless for all glamour sacreds.
