Well, we're not playing for a competition or ladder or anything, so I'd say just play with events and see how it goes. Though I haven't tried FtH2 yet, with Civ it's also part of the game that you try to make the most out of the given situation. If there will come such an event that shifts the power balance, then that's part of the conclusion (or debate) at the end of the game. In other words, just play for fun and don't get grudged too easily.
