Events are a huge part of the fun. Turning them off would definately take some of the flavour away from the game.

And a great prophet very early (or another great leader) would definately matter. A free shrine as soon as you finish researching a religion? That would definately boost the economy significantly...

Or Orthus spawning close to you on turn 75 (IIRC he always spawns right around turn 75). Great for flavour of the game, but very tough if it's close to you. It effectively kills your ability to expand for as long as Orthus lives...
