Diseases as a possible set of traits in EB II

[MerlinusCDXX]

Didn't syphilis originally travel to the Mediterranean from around the southeast Asian/Indian Subcontinent region sometime in the late Middle Ages?

The origin of syphilis is disputed, but the main theory is that it arrived in Europe from the Americas.

That's a good thing to hear that syphillis was absent in classical era....

I have enough negative traits in EB I to worry about. If you two, Geush and Alsatia, succeed in implementing diseases, I will send you both computer viruses in revenge. And then mod out the diseases from EDCT. Honestly, as a perfectionist, such horrific and random traits that take away so much command, management, and influence, are my worst nightmare.

Gentlemen, to restate my position:

1. I think a more complicated trait-set of diseases would add depth, which is good.
- It could add extra utility to buildings of health and sanitation as one poster pointed out.

2. It would be easy, compared to making models or skinning units, and doesn't require special skills.

3. It would make the game harder and hopefully kill family members more often. I don't think they die enough on the strategy map.

The controversial nature of syphilis has nothing to do with the desirability of making disease more prevalent.

[Alsatia]

It was a good idea, I was prover wrong, and I said nothing more (however, you may want to try something else than syphilis). All this chat here has little if any influence on the EBII Team. They'll do whatever they want, if they do diseases, it is not my or his fault.
This is just another mere suggestion to all the fanfare and ideas they are getting and I doubt many (including this one) will not be included.

So no person can possibly get a negative trait..?

Come on AP, you can't force every FM in your game to be like you...


For me the more traits and ancilliaries - good and bad - , the merrier.

Nah, I'm not a perfectionist, but when u feel u get too many FMs, just pack your old and useless FM into one ship, and try to provoke those AS, Karthadast, or Ptolies Navy..... It was called asshipinssation

EDIT: I only used them when playing as ....... u guest....

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

1) Romani (they stab their own brother's back afterall
2) Kart - Hadast (they have a custom to execute their incompetent general... wait, for this Faction, I only kill useless FMs, not the old...
3) U can guess KH..... I drowned all FM's that is useless and neither Spartan nor Athenian

Cardiopulmonary Necrosis would be a nice disease to have in the Classical Times.
