    Yes, any attack has a risk.

    I'm almost certain that ambushes and bounces can not give plague.

    Full penetration hit from undead can only give plague :)

    not true. you can get plagued when you hit them, when they hit you..as long as it isn't a bounce...on all attack forms

    Full penetration meaning an undead successfully breaks you, or you successfully fully penetrate an undead :)

    Which would also mean that Conquest can't plague? I thought Bounces and Conquest couldn't plague.

    Bounces and conquests don't plague. I dunno about ambushes.

    Edit: I assume the reason bounces and conq don't plague is cos it's too easy a mechanic to just be silly with, and plague is super powerful. UB enemy t/m prov in war? Easy, just have your uds 1 sol bounce to try plague him. 1 sol and 1 gen causing -15% DME on any province, any time is a mechanical ****show.

    Ambushes can plague if you ambush an undead or a non undead who has contracted the plague :)

    I was avoiding answering because I wasn't 100%, but since this thread turned into a giant mess of speculation, I guess I'll chime in.

    I'm fairly certain I remember the plague being adjusted so that contraction rates were modded by how much you bounced with. So a bounce with 50% needed to break would have 50% less likelihood of spreading the plague. I don't remember that mechanic ever being changed.

    That is definitely how it works for adding points on the meter when bouncing. I don't recall ever seeing one of our undead that bounced giving plague to the defender, or any conquests giving plague to the defender. Could be wrong, just never seen it.

    The guide used to read:

    The Plague
    The Undead are a unique race of creatures who carry a rare disease known in Utopia simply as The Plague. Each time an Undead province -- or any province infected with the Plague -- successfully attacks or is attacked by another province, there is a small chance they will transmit The Plague to that province. While infected with The Plague, the province will have no population growth. Due to illness, your military will have trouble defending your land and tax collection will be hampered (-15% Military Defense; -15% Tax Collection). The Plague will naturally be cured, on average in 10 to 12 Utopian Days -- at most, no more than 1 Utopian Month. The Nature's Blessing spell also has a chance of curing the plague from all your lands.


    Now it reads:

    The Undead carry a rare disease known simply as The Plague. Any time your army meets an infected army from another kingdom, you risk contracting it. The Undead are highly contagious, and spread the plague easily, whereas the chances of contracting it from any other race are greatly diminished.


    Makes me think that it is possible now.

    This^^ This is the first age I have not played Undead in ages. Raze bounces, Conqs, bushes, trads, abducts, plunders, you name it. The chance to flu your opponent increases ratio of offense:defense sent; your chances of dropping the flu on a 1 soldier bounce is close to nil, same attack with 51% is greater, 75% even better, send 104% for best chance. Next question.
