When I first started playing some of the complaints about the randomness of the occupations resonated with me. It just felt like some games I got cards that really made a strategy and other games I didn't but I don't know if it's just by chance or not but the more I play and the better I get the less I have felt that sensation.I have grown to love dealing with what the game throws me and have found the occupations, as written, really wonderful.
Having said that, I don't think there's anything wrong with using a variant if you're gonna have more fun with that.
