Plague

[SirOsis]

I've been looking around in the editor and came across the Disasters! tab.

Could someone tell me in more detail how the variables affect how the plague shows up in game. This pic was from the With Plague.biq

Some seem obvious, others less so.

In the lower right there is the "Help" button (or F1). It explains it "fairly" well.

[SirOsis]

LOL. Is that what that button is for? I've an aversion to those buttons therefore I don't even see them.

[Shogun Gunner]

the problem is they never provide "help" in using the help

[ThePlagueRat]

Someone called for me?

Except that it doesn't work. I have to launch the help file seperately, it won't come up in the editor.

[Kuciwalker]

That's strange; I've never had trouble.

Here is the help descriptions:



I wonder how Strength affects things. Also how is plague transmitted?

I had one on the third intro scenario. A plague hit hamburg.

I'm not sure what exactly it did though. Didn't seem too bad.

Thank you! I'm actually a nice guy. ;-)

[SirOsis]

I'm sure you are. It's just the fleas!

Lose the fleas.

[ThePlagueRat]

The rat and the fleas lives in symbiosis... hard to lose them!

In my games, Plagues can range from nothing to major hassles, depending on the RNG's mood that day. In some games, no Plagues would hit the whole game. In other games, a few cities would suffer Plagues with little or no real effect. In other games, I had a dozen cities hit with Plague several times during the game, losing a number of units to each Plague.

Is there any idea as to what prevents/causes plague? If you have a hospital is the chance reduced? At what city population does it occur?

Nothing that I've seen. And it will strike any size city.
