Disease and Decay

Description
What is Disease and Decay?: Disease and Decay is an event pack and content pack. This mod contains only the event pack features allowing for greater compatibility with other mods. Disease and Decay Expanded (linked below) contains both the event pack and content pack features. Note - you should only use one of the disease and decay mods, not both.

Event pack features (this mod): Disease and Decay adds dozens of new events related to both diseases and the adaption of society around those diseases. While there are a great number of minor events, both rewarding and harmful, there are also some major game-changing events. For example, the black death can make a return and dynamically spread across many continents. Both the player and ai will have to manage the struggles of running a nation during a pandemic and ensure they come out stronger than their neighbours.

Content pack features (Disease and Decay expanded): The content pack features are a completely optional set of fantasy events relating to superstitions around disease. This includes (but is not limited to) an invasion by the horsemen of the apocalypse, the growth of a witch cult to provide magical cures to disease and the unification of nations against the apocalypse. These events can be toggled on or off at the start of a new game and introduce custom events, countries (with mission trees), religions and cultures to the game.

Compatibility: This mod should be compatible with any other mod provided they do not drastically overhaul the base game map. For mods that do overhaul the map, this mod should not cause crashes, but some events may not fire.

This is my first mod, so any feedback or advice would be welcomed, I hope you enjoy :)

Yea that makes sense, I probably need to do another balance pass at one or two events anyway tbh. The siege one also probably needs some harsher penalties for the attacker

Hey, I've been test running alongside the 1337 mod currently working and several provinces were totally unbalanced in the production. Most likely due to disease_and_decay.49 (aqueduct one)

I nerfed and also added this:

random_owned_province = {
limit = {
NOT = { has_province_flag = disease_decay_effect_applied }
}
add_base_production = 1
add_unrest = -10
set_province_flag = disease_decay_effect_applied
}

Just a heads up, as it is a great mod and fun to see the black death unfolding while you are warmongering :)

Just tried yesterday and the experience was incredible ! Black death really challenged me and my allies at the same time (I play with more meaningful devastation too). I felt hard but fair. Maybe some event to reduce the time of the plague through investment in hospital or quarantine would be nice but congrats on your work :)

Sure

Hey, just sent a friend request, please, wanna ask some questions as I want to make a mod that use the similar mechanics of the great plague but with another purpose!

Hey, I'm working with a 1337 and piece by piece aiming for simple rebrand of the game as it was EU 4.5 without reinventing the wheel lol

Please, could I integrate this mod as being the Black Death? Currently working on how to simulate this important aspect of the era!

Great work and thanks in advance!
