Invisible Plague

[Amaranth]

Pleague problem. Okay, I've seen this story many times before, random pleagues, everyone dies etc etc..

But this one is stupid, it's either a bug or a curse rather than a plague. First of all, it started after the turn I conquered Edinburgh as England, it was around turn 18 or 19 I guess. I took everyone out of the city, in case they're not infected, then the next turn I checked them and there was no skull icon on the men, soldiers and generals (I kept them separetely), so I moved some of them back into the city and some I pulled back to the Nottingham and London. Which then I realised what a rookie mistake that was..
Edinburgh was cleansed yes, somehow, but London and Nottingham and my WHOLE freaking royalty are now disease carrying zombies! Ikept my family tree clean, adopted only through marriage and I had few but useful family members but now every single one of them are plagued. I tried healing them seperately by console commands like "Healed" and "HaleAndHearty" they get an invisible trait "Miracleously Cured" but then the next turn Pleague still haunts them. I'm really pissed-off by this, I had a good campaign going and it's all gonna be ruined unless I do something about it. I saved from rather safer a point and ended a few turns see if it will be cleansed but instead my royal family started dying one by one.

No icons on any of the soldiers or characters and cities, is this right ?

Ideas, suggestions some cure or a miracle, anyone ?

A tragedy, sorry, I don't have an answer for you. You have my sympathies though. It sort of reminds me of a rpg computer game I played years ago that crashed and wiped out all my save games. I had been playing it for a few months, a tragedy...

Gamebreakers like the plague should be turned off if it wrecks your whole family tree.

Try looking through scripts for "plague"? Is plague ridden a trait? Sounds like it should be lol

"Bring out yer dead! I'm not dead yet!"

I will summon our most skilled Apothecaries to see if they can aid you, but we Space Marines rarely deal with such trivial problems. Our enhanced metabolisms and immune systems LOL at plague; the worst we have to deal with is rampant genetic mutation or defective implants.

AKA: That sucks! Never had anything that bad before... I mean, I've had a few characters at once get the sniffles, but only two died and my cities were clean after a couple of turns. Very strange.

See if you can call the Red Cross or the WHO (World Health Organization) or the CDC (Center for Disease Control) or [insert funky European disease fighting organization here] or people working on the AIDS cure or somebody!

Don't you start with those interrogative pronouns.

Haha I must admit that your comments really made me laugh, I'm aware that the situation is a little ironic, it's tragic that plague affected my family tree but yeah it's funny how I made it worst by spreading it around the whole britain Not even ships are sailing near here now.

Must I remind you your duties Apothecary ?

"No servant of the Emperor shall fall if YOU can help it."

what you did was the worst you can do, you spread the plague!

Thank you for reminding me

or Doctor Who

Was the first person came to my mind !

"Doctor, let's go back in time and lift the siege of Edinburgh while we still got time !"


But seriously, I tried everything I could last night, tried to build health bonus building by console, moving characters away from infected regions. But my King, his only two son including Heir, General adopted through Princess and his son (all the generals I had) did not survive the Plague. Along with them a very skilled Spy and Assassins and a Cardinal died as well. Not to mention hundreds of soldiers and thousands of citizens in London and Nottingham. It was a tragic end to a very good campaign, I had no other choice but to load from a safe point from the middle of the campaign and do things right this time. Thanks for trying to help, well at least I had a good laugh reading your comments

i've been out of school too long to understand that dead language

[Gogolometro]

Maybe was an infected spy?

[PerXX]

There's no icon on generals/agents and such. Each turn you get a message as of which cities and characters are afflicted. If either come in contact with eachother, they'll have a very high chance of getting infected aswell.
Just read that scroll carefully, and keep the infected isolated.

[Aranu]

if a town is infected, leave it alone it, dont move people out, dont get close, avoid merchants who are near roads. Avoid the region like the plague..

what you did was the worst you can do, you spread the plague!

the town will get better in a few turns. you will lose some soldiers some civillians and if your unlucky your general.

(unless it's the real plague event)

never heard of icons before was that vanilla or something?

Top left corner of his picture, you will see a rat. Sometimes it's hard to see.

[Gorrrrrn]

probably a good idea to wait a couple of turns after a plague notification ends before moving anyone near a plague settlement.

[ShadowKiller2000]

I have noticed early in the game settlements that grow too fast, and have high squalor will get the plague.

If it is too early I will reload before it happens, and remove my high chiv general and raise the taxes. That always works.

I am not a rabbid re-loader, but getting plague less than 100 turns in is just not right.

[Tears of Destiny]

If a plague hits, move the important people out of the city so they do not take any casualties, and NEVER move them out of that province. EVER, until their city recovers. This way casualties are at a minimum, and nothing jumps borders.

Alternatively, do what I did and make a plague ship, move everyone to the ship, and wander through enemy territories, occasionally attacking a city, and then giving it back for free as a gift, plague ridden of course.

[k/t]

Instead of conquering a city to infect it, put a spy in your infected city, or recruit him there, and then enter the enemy city. Then enter all their other cities. Whenever the spy runs out of plague, put him back in one of the cities you infected earlier to restock. This cripples an enemy's economy, delays the upgrade of their settlements, and the AI is dumb enough to put diseased units into healthy armies.

One time I got the plague in a settlement, but it went away after a few turns. Only the general still had it. The population was growing again. I put the garrison units into the retraining queue, and the next turn the city had the plague again. Ever since then, I don't touch cities with plague until it has ALL gone away.

Spies can carry it too, it's funny to have a plauged spy and than move him into someone else's city.
