    Default Can you mod out the Plague?

    I've been searching for this for a while now and i think i earned the right to post it up.
    Is there any way to stop the plague from happening?
    I thought I did it ,but after failure and some investigation, I'm wondering if it's hardcoded.
    Anyone got any help? Sick and tired of how the plague works...

    Does you mean the plague in RTW or the Blackdeath in M2TW?

    RTW...
    I tried to simply remove it as Tact said, but that didn't work?
    Am I crazy or am I missing something?
    I thought it worked, but after many turns it appeared :0(
    any other ideas?

    This is something I need to look into more - one thing I can say is that removing it from the desc_disaster file (or having it limited to certain regions therein) seems to be totally ignored by the game.

    Has anyone looked into this? Plague may indeed be hardocoded based on variables in-game (squalor, overpopulation etc.) but this does not explain why other natural disasters continue to occur...it just gets silly when you can't get rid of another Flood in the sea....

    You can simply go to export_descr_bulidings and add 'population_health_bonus bonus 30000' to any building that your faction can build and ta-da plague will hardly breakout.For my Julii campaign i did just that and 1 of settlements had 57899 population did not even had a single plague occuring

    I think that the stuff in descr_events.txt is different from descr_disasters.txt. Removing it from the disasters file would probably get rid of the random one, but there are non-random plagues (i.e. plague in macedonia) that occur because of the events.

    Event plagues seems to be removable. I can get that out easy. But removing the random ones seems not to work, and i'd rather not put bonus health.. though it's a possible painful solution to add that to buildings everyone will have.
    I'll keep looking x.X appreciate the help.
