Lack of supplies...

Is that something that causes 5 points of unrest called Inkpot something by chance? Because that site spreads disease...

If any commanders got the disease, then it is from a site for sure.

And just a guess... does [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] "something that causes 5 points of unrest" [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] mean a blood site that you haven't searched for yet?

Isn't the "Inkpot" a site that is always visible? I know that I have
seen it before, and I also know that I have never blood searched a
province in four years of playing Dominions II/III. Maybe I saw it
after an Acashic Record.

Crown of Darkness is a level 4 death site that causes disease. Also consider sneaking disease spreaders (especially in multiplayer).

Inkpot End is a level 0 site and should be visible instantly.

I'm not sure how starvation works, but it should not cause 50%+ diseased troops in one turn. You should get one turn of warning and regular starvation. Next turn those units with a starvation tag are eligible to disease IIRC. Starving is somewhat proportional to supplies, but I'm not sure to what extent. A large starving army is probably affected worse than a small one, but I'm not sure.

Don't forget to pillage.

(It might be nice if there were a "Move and Pillage" option similar to "Move and Patrol." Right now, you have to alternate between moving and pillaging in enemy territory, although it could be that that's a good thing.)

I think it's definitely be interesting to see "move and pillage". I think people would be much more likely to actually use pillage if their armies didn't have to stand still. After all, it's almost always more useful to just take as many territories as possible then to sit in one and pillage it down.
