It's not evilness, it was thinking through the actual historical limits on population growth.

A plague city has to have lowered tax rate, I think (but am not sure) that trade income falls off, though I found a plague ridden Carthage's ports appeared to remain open for business as usual, so I'm not sure. As the city is over-populated you would just go on recruiting peasant plague carriers.

If the over-population of fertile cities is an issue, maybe making the Peasants a 0 turn recruitment unit, would allow resettlement on mass.
