[Fionn son of Cumhaill]

Im kind of a modding nub so could someone explain in laymans terms how i can remove the Black death from Stainless Steel?Any and all answers are greatly appreciated

[Lonck]

delete the black death part in descr_events.txt in Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign. search for black_death_hits and delete everything with black death in it.

You have to go into the file that lonck said, and find the beginning of the coding on the black death. then yo have to put ; in front of every lin in that section of code. Like this:

This only gets rid of the major plague events though, so make sure all of your cities are healthy because there can still be random outbreakes occasionally.

[rebel5555]

Why do you want to remove the plague for? I find that it's very useful in keeping the unrest and all of that down when your major cities get to over-crowded. I know it's a pain because it can end up killing your characters, but all you need to do is find a way of disabling characters from being affected by it.

Ok thanks for all the great help.
The reason i wnted to get rid of the plague was my 2 uber generals were wiped out and all i was left with was the ty adopted generals.
