People to undead plants?
 

Hi guys. In my last turn i received an unfortunate event that red something like all the people living in the province turned into plants and were attacking me!!. That caused PD to fight an army of manikins and a D3N3 commander. I tried looking for such a spell in the manual but couldnt find it.
Is it just a random event or could it be that someone casted it upon my province? If so, which is that spell?
Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think it's a random event. I actually saw it happen to an enemy capital, reducing the population from 30,000 to 1340. He didn't win that game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

an ancient presence - they wipe out your population - In Evermore I besieged helheim's capital, only to find out it had no supply, and all my massive army starved, and was easily routed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

WOW. What a cool event. I've never seen it so it must be as rare as my brother-in-law picking up a check.

Very rare event.
 

Very, very nasty one, however -- since the population loss is near-total and takes place regardless of who wins the initial battle. There's no spell that can directly cause that, although there are ways to increase the odds of something bad happening IIRC (Baleful Star, IIRC; maybe Doom Horrors still have this property. Have not tested a 'fortune-teller' with a massively negative fortune-telling chance -- it'd hurt certain nations by neutralizing fortune-telling, if it worked).

It would not surprise me too much if this one were linked to scales -- ex. being more likely if you have magic, death and misfortune or some wacky combination like that, and extremely rare otherwise.

I think it's safe to say this is a bad event & therefore misfortune will increase the odds of it appearing.

Do the Ermor, Marigon and Pangaea attacks have those troops alligned with those specific nations during & after the battle or are they just independents?

Re: Very rare event.
 

Pyro: Yes for Ermor and Marignon. I've played an Ermor game where I actually 'won' a province that way, and then tried to expand from there. (At the very least, turned a lot of people into ghouls.)

My brother the Marignon maniac had a similar experience (minus the ghoul production) in a game. (I must admit I've never seen this one myself.)

They are aligned, and nation gets province.
