I forced 2 macedonian factioners to die of the plague when my Brutii army besieged Thessalonica and the last Macedonian fullstack one turn before the plague broke out.

Plague is troublesome because as much as it removes squalor, remember it decimates your garrison too so things will cancel each other out.

I've been doing this for a long while and 90% chances are the plague passess and the governor gets by without a cough.
