Plague game mechanic change this age?

[dagwood]

I was wondering if I missed an update where how plague is cured or goes away has changed. Typically over the ages I would get it and it would last 5-18 hours but usually closer to 8-10. This age I have not had it last less than 11 and had one last for 27 hours * I think it could have been added on as we were fighting an all undead kingdom- but I did not see where it was cured and recontracted in my news. The wiki guide says should not last more than 1 utopian month.

I hit 23NB and was not able to cure it. typically I run 10 but usually closer to 15% hospitals.

Bad luck or did I miss something?

Sounds like you've been blessed with surprisingly good luck and it's starting to run out.

[dagwood]

thank you for responding- I'm newer (4 ages), so the below is accurate, if so it seems way overpowered.
does anyone know what an average time for plague is?

The plague has the following penalties:
##No Population Growth
##15% Lower Tax Collection
##15% Lower Defensive Military Effectiveness
##10% mortality rate in prisons per day

You usually cure it within 24 hours with no hosps.
With 15% hosps and casting nb once per tick the expected result is 3 ticks to remove plague. There is an 89% chance to remove in 5 ticks.

Once I cured it with 1.1 % hospitals after first tick. Another time it took 38 NB casts.

Better to be undead and cool than alive and uncool. ;-D

38 casts, then you must've been REALLY unlucky. The chance of having that is 0.02%, so one in 5000. My longest streak is 18 NBs so far, but yeah I also have a feeling as if it has gotten harder to get rid of it...

IMO they should just remove the plague and give UDs back their no offensive losses :D

Is .2% the true standard deviation for 38 casts? of did you fudge it?

[crease]

is 0.02%, and yes he was correct.

[Landro]

.....and give UDs back their no offensive losses :D

And have UD sci rape all age again? No, thanks!

[Bukharistan]

We can still sci rape all age :)

[crease]

We can still sci rape all age :)

But you cant do it freely in forti and certainly not in eowcf.

I've had remarkable luck curing plague with NB this age. I know of 3 times where it was cured after 1 cast, which is nice cuz I'm always sitting at 11 mana.

I've always felt that i am really good at curing plague
