Does it only happen in the scenarios, or in the main/random game also?

Only in certain scenarios. However, you can edit the original game to make it occur there as well. When the final big-change-patches are done, I think I'll inlcude it.Originally posted by ratster

Firaxis provided a scenario with C3C that enables the plague (that's the only rules change, and there's no map).Comment

Hehe... or you can just single out one of the conquered minorities in your civ as the scape-goat, and pop-rush or starve them away for that added touch of brutal realism.Originally posted by Switch
They asked their god for the details of the plague, and barring that got a top notch scientist to do testing on it?
And I'm not so sure they were too quick on quarintine either...

It's called "with plagues"
I'm also placed my modifications into that file to avoid touching the standard one.
My first change was that I increased the plague effects.

Plague as a weapon?
I wonder whether anyone has used plague as a weapon. For example, send one of the units from a plague-infested city across the border to a neighboring civ and see what happens.
Has anyone done something like this?Comment

Evil, Purple, evil. I like it.
The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I doubt the unit would do anything... but gifting a plague-city almost definately would.
Even better, make a quick strike to take one of their cities, wait for it to catch plague, then sue for peace, giving it back

Plague isn't spread by units moving from city to city therefore this wouldn't have any effect.Originally posted by Purple

Gobi Bear (Ed Beach, the BreakAway Games producer of Conquests) posted the following on CivFanatics a while ago which explains a bit about how plague works and the editor settings for it.
Here is a quick explanation of the Plague in the Middle Ages scenario.
Start by looking at the "4 Middle Ages.BIQ" file in the editor and look at the Disasters! tab in the Scenario Properties dialog.
It lists:
"Earliest Start = 1346" ... means that the AVERAGE date it starts in 1346 AD (the historical date)
"Variance = 50" ... as explained in the editor online help, this is a measure of how variable the actual chosen start date is from 1346 AD.
"Duration = 50" ... number of years plague will remain active ACROSS THE ENTIRE MAP (affecting all Civs) once it starts
"Strength = 100" ... the Black Death in the Middle Ages scenario is set to be the strongest possible type of plague
"Grace Period = 100" ... normally minimum number of years between plagues, but it is irrelevant in this case due to the next entry
"Max Occurrences = 1" ... plague will never come back after its 50 year-run in this scenario.
Plague affects both units in cities and the population of cities.
It affects all players at the same time.
As I recall, the chance of a city contracting plague is determined by the level of trade going on in that city (harbors, resources, etc.), the size of the city, the strength of the plague, and whether or not there are walls (walls increase the chance of plague).
Once a city has contracted plague, all you can do is wait it out (and move out the military units if possible).Comment
