Plagues, earthquakes, storms at sea... where have they gone?

I was playing EB today and i read the year in history notification that there was a plague in Rome this year, and it made me realize something... I haven't seen a plague in EB, ever. I've had cities go to 6, 12, 24,000 population with little more than simple drainage built, but have never, ever had a plague.

Nor have i ever seen an earthquake, nor have i ever seen or suffered from a storm at sea.

What gives? Have all those been taken out, or is it just a crazy coincidence that i've never ever seen any of them?

Plagues are still in EB, and i think the others were removed, but i'm not certain.

Plagues and earthquakes are still in EB. Teleklos did a whole lot of research to make natural disasters more realistic, too. Storms are very rare and completely random. The floods have been turned off because of a RTW bug where the effects of the flood (half movement speed in that province) are perminent.

I have been playing EB since 0.80 and I only witness plagues, very rarely. I wanted so much to see a storm or an earthquake but nothing. I suppose I wasn't lucky enough

gh...

I love the Earthquakes, when the land moves up in massive ripples.

I remember they used to make me feel very sick and panicky, even if they didn't happen anywhere near me. I remember experiencing the feelings of a panic attack once for a few minutes after seeing one, which is extremely weird. I think it's the way the earth just goes up and down, it just looks creepy.

But still, i wish they were still there.
