Mod the plague

[Rhye]

a WHOLE ARMY killed by the plague...

you had 1 or 2 units per city!

1 unit will still die immediately when it's spread to a city; the rest is decimated slowly by cutting the hitpoints.
this is more a false alarm, however I've taken advantage of this to refine and tone down a bit again (especially the human handicap).

When the plague hit it killed all the city defenders, and later when I upgraded to rifleman and had 2-3 of those per city it killed all those as well. The thing is I'd have expected 1 unit in each city to live. The other point is that the plagues main purpose (as you defined it) is to kill primarily the older units.

I appreciate the tuning, we'll see how that goes in the next update. Thanks.

While playing as the Germans I conquered a Greek city which had the plague which infected my cities - even though the same plague had just swept through my cities a few turns before! My cities were reinfected - surely they should have had some kind immunity?

You probably could have started a new thread...

they should have been immune.

I have experienced re-infection in RFC RAND too after conquering a barbarian city that had a previous plague.

my catapult died from the new world plague! I'm the English and I gave that plague to them!

found the piece of code. Apparently, I had decided to ignore immunity to prevent exploits by pacif*ahem* human players
