Legend of the Dead customization

[✠ Sigmar ✠]

Here is a question for all those who are already playing with the Legend of the Dead DLC: Can you switch off all the disease effects and storylines via game customization?

I am interested in the "legend" part of the DLC, I think I would enjoy those features very much. But I absolutely dislike the idea of plagues and illnesses, and I will not buy the DLC if the latter are mandatory to engage with.

You can, right bottom corner, press the + symbol and uncheck the diseases and legends

yes CK has always had the most robust options for game rules and ability to turn off features. Though note turning off some features will brick achievements into off mode and I can't remember but I'm sure plagues is one of those,

I do not want to uncheck the legends. I would buy the DLC to play with legends. I do not want to play with diseases and plagues.

Is it possible to disable the latter while keeping the former? That was the question.

If you have the DLC, would you mind checking that?

yeah if you lower plague frequency from normal to rare or very rare it will disable achievements.

I checked out the game rules;

You can turn off black death entirely. You can set plague frequency to very rare but not disable totally. Changing these game rules to anything less frequent than the default frequency will disable achievements, as you would expect.

Out of genuine curiosity, why do you dislike the idea of plagues/illness?

Also, FYI, based on the free Patch notes the plagues are part of the free patch so you will get them even you do not buy the DLC

Unfortunately, this is true. So, if I want to play with the possibility of earning achievements (even those that have nothing to do with this update at all), I have to play with a normal frequency of both the Black Death and the other miscellaneous plagues. I really, really dislike that. I have been enjoying the game very much lately, but this topic just gives me the ick.

Also, my favourite total conversion mod "Elder Kings 2" does not work anymore since the free update, so my campaign to conquer Cyrodiil which I had been 30 hours in is lost as well. I am very much displeased with this.
