My king is affected by plague, will it go away?

[mp84]

Hey All,

Got another question, it seems in my faction capital, London, got hit with a plague, thus, it caused my current king who was already past his prime, since he was approaching 68, to die.

As a result, my heir became king, but naturally I had a catch-22 situation, I needed to have that prince go to London so he can be crowned, but at the same time I had to worry about the plague in that city.

Now, took the chance and sent him to London, thus he was crowned, and naturally next turn he was affected by the plague.

However, when I check his traits I really don't see any mention of him being affected by the plague, only during the pop-ups in the beginning of the new turn that he still affected by it.

Now, I read a lot on these forums about what to do for situations like this, and I moved him into a ship, so he's staying there.

And of course, London's population is back to normal, however, the moment I move my king back into London, the Population gets hit big time.

Now, the question I have, does he eventually lose that sickness or the only way to lose it, is that he dies?

Sorry for the long winded explanation, but hopefully any of the DLV vets can clue me in on this.

thanks.

Don't worry, the plague if it had not killed him already will go off soon. You can see that a "rat" is displayed on his portrait. Just don't move him into another town or the plague will also strike there even if in London it ceased to kill people. Also quiting London and re-entering it will also trigger the plague again for the whole population. So just let him there until he is cured

hahah.. Ya know speaking of that, I recently picked up Kingdom of Heaven "Director's Cut" in blue-ray, (slowly repurchasing my favorite titles on DVD, in Blue-ray, and Kingdom of Heaven was next on the list)

And man was it the right time to watch that kind of movie last night since I've been in a total medieval mode as of late.

thanks again for the tips
