    Default some said it was'nt possible....

    Actually I don't know if anyone said it wasn't possible, but it is.



    I got the plague awhile ago, but I seem to remember carthaginian's attacking my city, maybe they carried the plague? I dunno but either way......

    now there is proof that the Plague does exist in EB

    Congratulations!


    Yeah, I've seen them too. They are just much rarer.

    I don't know if the plague is a time for congratulations

    But maybe the reason that plagues and such are rarer is because of all the public health buildings that provide so much public health?

    I had a plague in Bononia (or whatever it's called) and it had no contact whatsoever with any troops, friendly or enemy, and to the best of my knowledge with no spies. Until I put a spy in and took it into Aedui lands. I also noticed it in Masselia, which was being besieged by the Aedui.

    I too have gotten plagues in EB, but they rarely happen more than once to a city and I've NEVER had more than 5 per campaign in my lands. I know the AI can sometimes get more.

    I have the plague in Zadrakata and it seems to go on for years

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    Sounds like you have a spy in your town.

    They are leftover from polybian reforms i had Earlier, i just decided to leave them there instead of waste money replacing them

    Yes, I do the same. In some provinces where no attack is likely, any garrison will do. Plus, it looks nice in some instances. Nostalgic, like.

    However, during Marian times i tend to replace them with vigiles, because of their jigh manpower and low upkeep (240 on huge scale, I think higher unit strenght prevents rebellion better, i.e. one 240 men vigiles polices better than two 100 men cavalry units or am I wrong?)

    I'm getting pretty annoyed with plagues. In my Saka campaign I've had two in the first 16 years. Like I have enough men already...
