Totally removing plague

[Emperor of Nowhere]

Does anyone know of a way of totally removing the plague from the game. I did a forum search and played around with the game files the way a few of the threads suggested but while playing as the Egyptians one of my cities still became plague infested.

Well, I always give my buildings a huuuuge health bonus and I don't have the plague anymore, but that's probably not the solution you're looking for.

I'm also very interested in this question. It is important for our mod to remove the plagues, but I have not been able to get it.
I have tried changing the parameters of descr_disasters.txt (frecuency, season), I have tried deleting the content of this file, and even removing completely this file. All other disasters have dissapear, but plagues are still there.

Are there any pre-scripted plagues that may appear from copied files from vanilla that may happen even if the random plagues are removed? (Just a thought)

Not all "disasters" are part of the disasters file. It seems they can kick in when certain circumstances arise, like having a city with a huge city's population (if you do not build the govt buildings). I do not know of anyone who has totally removed such disasters. I suspect some hardcoding is involved in order to control population.

You can of course rename and edit all the text and visuals and make it something else that diminishes population - though remember it can be carried by agents/armies.

To disable plagues, go into the descr_disasters file, find the plague entry, and make the bolded additions:

;event plague
;frequency 40
;winter false
;summer false
;min_scale 2
;max_scale 5
