AFAIK, you can't mod how quickly a plague kills pop, except by setting the damage level higher (range Plague Level 1 to Plague Level 5). I think the algorithm is hardcoded for actual per-turn deaths--but Level 5 is definitely a ton more effective than Level 1.

Yea, I see your point. Guess I was thinking of Food Contamination.

I wonder if plague takes into consideration damage points per 1 million pop....or is it just flat reduction of population regardless? Will have to check that.
