The modding Community is going to have fun with all these updates especially the Lord of the Rings mod for ck3 play is going to be very useful for Sauron because he can actually create deadly plagues in the books

[@TheSocialStreamers]

It's such a good update

[@johnquach8821]

That would be terrifying. Sauron is already an extremely formidable opponent and adding plagues to this makes him even scarier. Realms in Exile (Lord of the Rings mod) has many good opportunities to go with plagues.

[@edwxx20001]

Elf's immunity would be an interesting way of stopping the spread. the isolation of the dwarfs should have very high plague resistance. the shire would be mostly protected, but Gondor and Rohan are screwed.

[@trex6690]

​@@edwxx20001 Well inlore one of Sauron's plagues decimated the ancestors of the hobbits if I'm not wrong

[@edwxx20001]

@@trex6690 Im just thinking the shire's tucked away so far from mordor, it would be hard for it to spread all that way. then again the agent's of mordor, black riders and such can just go into a place like brill and infect it.

[@prestonjones1653]

As someone whose laptop was great in 2017 and now can do his taxes before the CK3 start screen loads up, seeing so kany characters being wiped out makes me actually salivate. So much better performance.

[@leif6534]

If you have space for extra ram, I'd do it. It helped my laptop a lot to replace hard drive/ram when I was still using it for gaming. It's still not pc level performance, but it's better.

[@alexkan6650]

Ah yes the performance update we have all been waiting for. Kill thousands of characters to improve performance of the game. 10/10 would kiss rats again

[@wastelanderone]

I read a book about England when the black death happened. After the big epidemic, only about 1/3 labourers survived and they tried to charge more for their labour. The King banned that and less than 30 years later BOOM, the peasants rebellion. TLDR if the peasants want more money, let them.

"The Georgian boils saved my life... for now" Never thought Id hear a sentence like that

[@speedypichu6833]

Looking at it, I think a big part of the plague’s devastation is that it seems to shoot control of your province down, so it might be worth investing in stuff to deal with that as well, though that’s just analysis from watching pre DLC.

[@jdwoods5790]

And the fact that development goes down to 0

I like that Bulgarian dude you vassalised at the end. Duke of the realm of Populist Uprising.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

@@Darthwgamerback in CK2 days with the Reaper’s due, it was fairly common for the Black Death to end up infecting the rough borders of the Roman Empire, so it was a common Reddit meme to take a screenshot of the Black Death having Roman Borders and saying “hey look at the Black Death restoring the Roman Empire”
