Multiple diseases

It is possible for a province to get more than one disease at a time. That doesn't seem entirely unrealistic so it could be WAD but it is not possible to easily identify because only one disease icon can be shown.

Also, the build time penalty stacks meaning that you can have build time increased by 9900% (probably more, I don't see why you can have three or even four diseases at once) which seems a little excessive.

While I have never gotten more than one disease, a quick glance at the event files shows it is possible and that they would stack.

It comes down to whether or not this is WAD by the game designers. The events can easily be changed that you are able to get one disease at a time.

In my opinion one disease at a time should be sufficient. MMTH for them to go away is long enough that having 2 or more diseases in a province could render it useless for many years.

Of course that is the only drawback, the added time to get full use of the province. Income and build times for diseased provinces are penalized so heavily that an extra disease does not make much difference.

Not the thread for it, but a suggestion: Make the different diseases do different things. Currently they all have the same effect. (well, except for pneumonic plague, but it is pretty close) With the current design you could have a single effect; Diseased; and it would be the same. Give us some variety!!

I would love to see a save file of this. PM me.

Meanwhile, I have posted a link in the beta forum...

I can confirm that I've had this...in fact at one point I had a province with small pox, the plague and it was looted. Needless to say, it wasn't exactly the thriving economic heart of my realm.

AFAIK it's WAD...but worth checking w/ Johan.

I'm not sure if I've got a save. I'll have a look.

Definately need a change in the fact that only one disease icon shows. As Byzantium, the Bubonic Plague rolled through, which I gained an immunity to. Then the Pneumonic Plague swung through, but the only icon that shows is immunity to bubonic plague. I can't tell which provinces have a bonus or penalty due to increase in size of towns and hamlets or arrable land deserted, nor small pox or anything else as all that appears is immune to bubonic plague. Kind of a pain...
