Disease and Decay Expanded

Disease and Decay Expanded is the expanded version of the Disease and Decay mod. It contains many more features, including far more events, custom nations, religions, cultures and game mechanics. Much of the additional content is in the form of an optional fantasy mode which can be turned on or off soon after starting a new game (via an event). If you would prefer to have reduced content but with a higher compatibility with other mods, instead use the standard Disease and Decay mod. Do not use both Disease and Decay mods together.

Event pack features (this mod and Disease and Decay standard): 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 (This mod only): 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. The style of these events follow that which can be seen in Crusader Kings 2 fantasy events. There are many opportunities to avoid them if wanted, but if you choose to deep dive into the events, you will find a lot of fun to be had.

Compatibility: This mod will not be compatable with mods that add custom religions, change the 'on action' file or drastically alter the map. For a version of the mod that will be compatable with almost anything (provided the game map is not completely changed), use Disease and Decay standard.

Future plans: Currently, only Pestilence has a full mission tree out of the horsemen of the apocalypse (around 50 missions). The next updates will add missions to the remaining three horsemen. After that, an additional religion with a custom nation will be added to resist the apocalypse. Alongside these updates, more events will be added both fantasy and realistic.

Please do report any bugs and balance suggestions. I will monitor the comments closely and make changes whenever needed. Thanks for checking out the mod :)

If you want to kick off the apocalypse straight away, you can type ' event disease_and_decay.29 ' into the console to start the event chain. Otherwise, the event chain can trigger while recovering from the black death epidemic (rumours of a hooded figure). Pick the teal and orange options to start the apocalypse (requires fantasy mode turned on)
