Two questions

[-Storm-]

Send in the saved game to IW with the story.
I am sure that they will look into it.

2. Correct, is was not possible to be immune to the poison spit. Fixed in the coming patch.

1. I guess it's from a hidden site, maybe it's in another province which you have been in previously or maybe it's not a death site.

Coming patch!?!!??!

Care to elaborate on the other contents of that patch

I've also had a MM diseased while playing Miasma... I assume it was from some site, though I never did a check of provinces to try and find out what site could have caused it.

HJ --
Plague spells get announced, although they look like the ordinary random events if memory serves.
Bane venom charms, Harbinger of Sorrows, et al, result in something like "A deadly disease is spreading in...".
I don't recall sites giving the same message, however. Perhaps you ran into a Chillsick Swamp (IIRC; forget whether death or nature) or some other disease-causing nature site.
The 'diseased' affliction generally doesn't spread, except from the BVC, and Woundflame (?), and similar items, or from inherently infectious units (Harbinger of Sorrows, Mummy come to mind).
If memory serves, disease can come from ordinary wounds just as with any other affliction.

Thanks for the replies all.

1) If not all disease-causing sites are death, then it's quite possible that something like that happened. I will have to see in the full game, since I ran out of turns, what exactly happened when I search the provinces with Acashic record.

2) Thanks JK for the explanation that it's bug. And thanks for the good news about the patch as well.

Now the only thing I am not too clear about are contagious diseases. So, let's say that one of your units gets diseased by Bane venom charm. The disease will spread to other units from the infected unit, even if the BVC is not in the same province any more? If so, what other sources can do this? (I'm sorry Taqwus if this is what you just explained, I am not sure I understand it)

Diseases are not contagious. Only the spell 'plague' is and only during battle. 'Plague' does not cause disease, but harm (it's a super plague spreading at incredible speed). Units diseased by the Bane Venom Charm are not sources of contagion. Only the charm is.

That's good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
