How to get rid of a plague?
Does going to new settlements reset the timer for plague end? Is it a timer, or is it random? Will it kill off my units before it finishes?

I haven't seen a plague kill of an entire army. I'm fairly sure that's super rare if possible at all. The time the plague lasts is random and staying in a settlement has a chance to spread it to that settlement. Your best bet is to wait it out in a settlement where your diminished army is not likely to be attacked.

Would it not be a better call to sit outside the settlement in Encamp stance? Or if possible, sit inside enemy territory?

based on my experience, the chance of spreading the plague to your settlement is sort of low and my reasoning is that it would offer additional protection should you get attacked by an enemy. If you're 100% sure nobody is around, then yes, Encamp is a better solution. Keep in mind that the garrisons replenish for free, so even if you do spread the plague, once it's gone you'll get another garrison without spending a single gold coin.

Visit either the Doctor or your local library. :)

Books to read while you die of the plague... of course.

Why read books when I could spend my last moments exterminating Skaven in Warhammer 2?

So, I got blasted by a plague just before I eradicated this Skaven faction. That was 6 turns ago, I now have a near-dead army, and the plague has spread over half the northwestern continent. So... yeah. That's fun.

Plague is the most overpower atricction event in the game, it can led units to less than 7% of total power, but it will not remove the unit (kill it), if your city is under plague, leave your army away from it but in the reinforcement radius, and if your army is plagued vice versa, never stack plague army in an plague city or you can trigger an loop plague contamination.

I prefer the Plague over Necromancers.

The plague has a maximum time, and spreading it somewhere doesn't reset the timer.

You have to put the entire country on lockdown. Mantain social distancing by keeping everyone a minimum of six feet from each other, and enforce masks and gloves.

Yea, yea, insert current irl pandemic joke here...

But yea plagues in TW:W are nasty, Pestilens can empty a continent, if one is breaking out in one of your cities, its best to move the troops out to a different settlement and wait it out.
