Diseases

[armyissue69]

Even with all the disease stuff set to the lowest level (which turns off achievements), they are still relentless.

Hmm you start a new game right.

Just get a good physician. don't worry so much about others dying just keep your family and your best courtiers alive. even if you are Emperor or King.. even if everybody hates you.

Who cares your life and your dynasty comes first.
You don't need to play on lowers difficulty diseases. just learn that your character and family comes first.

I had my brand new save basically wiped out by a plague. Make friends with your Seclusion/Isolation decisions. I didn't know they existed since it's my first playthrough after the update, but this would've saved me a headache. I waited in seclusion until the plague dissipated, while I also built hospices for plague defense; unfortunately my decent ruler died and so did much of his family. I was left with bad heirs so I gave up, but generally the first thing you need now is a physician.

I am soooo tired of diseases. I know ALL the measures to defend against them but, I am just tired of the repeated onslaught of diseases. I just want a switch that TURNS IT ALL OFF. I just want to play the way it was before the diseases. HOW can I do this? How can I turn OFF diseases?

Rollback your game version

Create a mod that sets the outbreak chance for each epidemic to exactly 0.

I set it to doomsday and felt it wasn't enough some runs

I feel like it depends on geography/topoghraphy. When I tried playing in the Balkans it felt like I was getting smacked with a disease every 5 or so years. My family and I would survive, but those disease resistance modifiers and upgrades didn't seem like they did much to prevent the spread and just prevented death.

In my current Tibet campaign, I've had maybe, 1 disease roll in from India. Other than that, I've pretty much been disease free.

IT is NOT hard to manage. After doing several runs...NOW I AM tired of it. This game, on default +Ironman = easy.
