In the few instances where you get Plague in EB the answer is "do it!".

Personally I find it pretty cheap. The AI is already clumsy enough as it is. It doesn't need to have its family members die off, its armies withered down and cities reduced to villages.

Why not spread around the joy ?
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: using spys with plague against the enemy
I've done it once as the Makedones. A plague hit Taras I think, and I trained a bunch of spies to infiltrate every city that belonged to the Romaioi. Just be careful not to do that with a faction that shares borders with you, because a spy of theirs could just as easily spread the disease towards your own territory.

Re: using spys with plague against the enemy
its a hard decision but as stated above i supose the challenge is welcomed and ill only be dissapointed if the plague has devious effects on my enemies therefore taking the challenge away.

Edit: @ maion : how bad did the plague effect the romans?

On topic: on the subject of reducing sttlements: has anyone noticed the garrison size in a besieged city drop at a certain rate, regardless of whether it was plagued or spied or not? r is it just me?
either way, I think this has implications on siege tactics, especially when one plans assault in some cases.
