The White Wizard
Has anybody here ever won the game on noble difficulty with version 1.74. I say it's impossible. The deck is stacked big time against the player. Every single bad event hits me multiple times. I never see them hit the ai. Just now got a barbarain event that put 8 archers right at my capital. And unless you are very lucky with the goody huts you are stuck with ONE city while the ai has up to 4. I thought noble difficulty put you on even group with the ai. It isnt even close. The ai has huge advantages at that level.
Events are random and don't change frequency with difficulty. There is no way for the game to know which events are "bad" and which are "good"; they aren't coded that way. I'd just say that the Random Number Generator hates you.
