Why do my commanders keep dying of disease?

I can understand making it difficult to heal most battle afflections such as "crippled" or "lost an eye". Yet there should be more cures available for diseases. Getting a disease in this game is worse then getting the bubonic plague back during the 1800's... at least you had a 1% chance of surviving back then. In Dominions_II if you get units with diseases you might as well group them all together and march them into a suicide battle... because they are already dead.

Yes I know the ways to fix it... but for diseases there should be more cures.
examples = (priests, low_level curing spell, witches, or even a 5% chance the units immune system wins.)

I second this. In fact there should be a spell to remove curse.
