I think the idea of "solving" dungeon lords is a bit of an exercise in futility. I'd be interested to hear what other games you've played and think you've solved.

I say this because trying to solve a game like dungeon lords seems like trying to pick the best tool in my garage. Some tasks require a screwdriver, others a hammer. Sure, the "project" may be random, but the tool you use to fix it isn't.

In the case of events, you know two turns ahead what tool you're going to need. Two anti-food events coming? Better decide how to handle them. Maybe you have to dump the ogre or maybe your position in turn order is good.

Point is, I'm more likely to believe you're bad at this game and less likely to believe it's the game's random element. Vlaada games are meant to be challenging and complex and very hard to "solve". You might have more luck with Knizia games if you want to use math to solve a game.
