Re: Plague bomb..
Was that even in SE3, or just as myth? I have never seen or heard anything of the sort for SE4. There is a cure plague ability for events that is unused, so it is possible to mod such an event in, but the chances of it happening to a plagued planet (unless it is hard-coded to only happen to them) are slim to nil.

No longer true, once the population has all expired, the planet reverts to uncolonized and may be recolonized by anyone without fear of residual contagin. |

Well that is dumb. Spores could be left behind.  SE3 kept the plague around on the planet if you recolonized the planet. |

Whether it is dumb or not depends on the purpose of the plauge (we are speaking of artifical plauges here, no?). If the purpose is to clean an enemy colony for colonization, then it would be very handy if the plauge died with the Last available host. If the purpose is to render a planet useless (perhaps when deep behind enemy lines where a friendly colony would be immediately captured) then you would want persistant spores. It might be nice if this were moddable, but it makes sense either way; just for different purposes.

Not all plagues are artificial.

He didn't say they were. If you will note, he did say (in parentheses)

... which would indicate that he knows that.
