Description

❖

Plague spreads through the city. Physical production collapses 50-60%, gold 50%, research 60%. Medical production is prioritized (+20% Herbs, +10% Elixir). Sick defenders can barely fight (-30% Attack, -35% Life, -25% Speed). Costs 350 Gold, 100 Herbs, 50 Elixir over 200 seconds to resolve.

📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Epidemic represents the most devastating crisis - disease sweeping through the population. Workers sicken and die, production collapses (50-60% reduction to physical resources, 50% Gold, 60% Research), and the army becomes incapacitated (-30% Attack, -35% Life, -25% Speed - the worst combat penalties). Only medical production increases as healers prioritize treatment (+20% Herbs, +10% Elixir). Resolution requires substantial medical supplies (100 Herbs, 50 Elixir) and gold for healers (350 Gold) over 200 seconds. Medics (-20% Epidemic), maintaining herb stockpiles, and avoiding overcrowding are essential prevention.
