Undead and Ctis Miasma

[Twan]

I've asked the same question sometimes ago. Like said disease immune creatures can have the disease afflication but without effect (except allowing them to have benefit from a fever fetish).

In addition to cold blooded ones, it appears that creatures with swamp survival at least are immune to miasma diseases. I've also tested a master druid, who has not swamp survival but a PR of 100 and he didn't get diseased in 50 turns, but I can't say if PR has anything to do with it (according to some old d2 threads PR worked against the miasma effect, so perhaps a PR ring is sufficient to make any pretender immune ?).

Now that you mention it, I think undead should be affected by miasma. They should decay pretty quick. Isn't that what Maggots spell is about ? Undead are, except for ghosts etc, organic matter. Some of them stale and dry, but also unprotected by human skin, immunity system and so forth.
But disease is another matter. Perhaps somewhere in future patch (or mod) undead will become disease carriers, able to spread disease without being affected ? Yuck.

The way I see it, the miasma effect is like turning the province into a swamp, normal units get diseased from disease carrying mosqitues and the likes, they aren't actually wading in swamp water (which would probably be more damaging to undead [due to organisms feeding on them])
