One of my villages had a population of 468, about 15 years in, if I recall correctly, then the plague struck and I finally ended up with about 280 - 300 villagers surviving. Tried to take a look at what caused it, and it just appeared out of nowhere. I had enough hunters etc to combat wild animals, as well as a plentiful supply of stored food, herbs and medicines etc throught the village too.
I think my "achilles heel" was no transportation between stores, as moving stored goods and food is somewhat different to how Banished works. As a result some villagers were suffering while others were all fine and dandy. Donkey farming and transportation was being built when I lost a huge chunk of my villagers.
So I stepped back a few saves and started construction of the donkey farm and Trade building a lot earlier, it helped but not much as I still lost villagers, but not as many.

It also appears that as your population grows you are more likely to get serious diseases. The base is you don't get them until year 20, but you can get them earlier if your population grows rapidly and really serious outbreaks seem to happen pretty easily in towns over a couple of hundred folks.

Thats true, i know they need Vareid food. When all mine got sick they had veletablerte,fish, meat pies. And fruits honney and so on so that shouldnt be the problem in my town

Diseases and plagues are varied so you could well face a downhill spiral of your villagers, due to the lack of resources required to overcome a particular disease or plague.

The diet of your inhabitants shall be diversified; it will strengthen their health and immunity. If people eat only meat or only vegetables, their health will become weaker, which will lead to frequent diseases. A herb doctor collects medicinal herbs in the woods; he will cure mild diseases. And a doctor in an infirmary will help to cope with more serious diseases.

Ok that´s a good reason for this mod :D

Had a breakout in my town with over 600 people and had over 32 healer shops full, but when people got out of there they got sick before the plaque where wiped out.

What is that good for ? My Healers shop was never nearly full. I only had 1 sick villager a long time ago
