Situation

Great Pestilence

great_pestilence

Terrible news reaches us from abroad. Misery and plague sweep the land, and death runs with them, apparently brought by mysterious bearded foreigners. This plague is not something our elders have ever heard of, and no answers in our ancestors' memories could help us face the catastrophe if it reaches our settlements. Will our people perish, or will we somehow resist when this walking death reaches us?

The game's hint

Recommended Actions:
Build Hospital Buildings in our biggest Urban Locations, before the disease reaches our Country.
Click on the Situation banner to have a look at the special interactions at our disposal. Perhaps they help mitigate the catastrophe?
Keep our Stability high. Not only does it help with Rebellions, but it is also essential to Local Pop Promotion Speed.
Do not build new buildings in depopulating Locations, since they will struggle to hire new workers.
Keep an eye on our Local Pop Promotion Speed, as most of our Buildings and R.G.O. will need Peasants to Promote to the upper Social Classes.

Extra Hints:
It might take years, but as long as there are enough peasants in our Locations, people will eventually Promote to fill the vacancies left by the disease.
You can use the lessons from this disaster to address other calamities during your campaign: Starvation, Diseases and Loot will have similar effects on our locations.
