I don't seem to see many of them, besides plague, in Anatolia. Is that something specific to the region?

To date I don't think I've ever seen volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or floods in any of my campaigns - Roman or Pergamene. Am I just lucky?

I think floods are disabled as they can cause weirdness.

But can be re-enabled quite easily. Poke around and you'll see how in no-time. Unsupported, for the reasons the above poster mentioned, though.

That's floods, what about the others? Do earthquakes and eruptions happen in the bits of the map I've not seen? Like in the east near the Himalayas?

I remember ages ago reading someone talking about how in their Baktrian game a full stack was all but annihilated by an earthquake.

I've had a volcanic eruption on Sicily in an earlier Roman campaign, and in my current one have had plagues in both Athens and Massalia. I've yet to see any earthquakes though.

These likely do happen, point is: you're only notified of their existance when your "agents or buildings can see them happen"...

In the Roman games obviously there's Mount Etna on Sicily, though I've never seen that erupt. Can't remember if Vesuvius is on the map near Capua, not seen that go either. Are the chances of erputions quite rare for those two?

What about Anatolia, are there any active volcanoes around there?
