Guys how do u play?
Plague strikes at 1300++, at that time I have lots of provinces and income more than 100 000 per turn, I didnt really feel the plague.
In my games plague for AI much worse than for me.

My economy doing well, i never go to minus. Ppl dying yes, but its not really a problem. Army duying, but its allow to make more money per turn. Family dying this is bad, but Im making new generals from succesfull captains. Plague is nothing really.
