Hmmm, been playing on and off for something like five years, I think I
have pretty much all major events pretty well mapped out. I still
sometimes get surprised, but not often, and not usually on key events
(since you obviously hit those more often).
One factor was choosing safe, reasonably optimal, options. But as I said, I was lucky in getting some good breaks in the first few years. There is enough random elements that it isn't just a matter of memorizing the right responses. For example, we had clan members captured by the horse spawn. A few years later we were strong militarily, but had just split the clan so were short on farmers, and I wanted to get them back. But our expeditions to the horse spawn territory mostly came back in tatters, with a few succsefully ambushing grazers. But many expeditions over the yeards after that, we never hit the event where you see your captured clan-mates and have an opportunity to liberate them. Nor did we get a second shot at the golden-eye horse. I made what I thought was the right decision, and just lost more warriors in other words.
