That's true, in terms of a single-year continent-wide event, I think only the Spanish flu comes close.

Yes, the Spanish flu (that it wasn't Spanish at all!) was the world-wide worst epidemic. If we look only Europe, probably the plague of Justinian was worse, or the Black Death.... I don't remember, but I think they kill about 1/3 Europe population.

I've seen similar estimate, but the Black Death spread over 7 years in Europe (longer worldwide), while the Spanish flu lasted only 24 months with peak activity being much shorter.

Yes, it's the modern world!... in medieval times people spend years to travel from a country to other. now, we spend days (or hours)...

Faster travels, faster epidemics!

I don't think is possible, but it would be wonderful to have epidemics on BM!

Oh, yay! So it's StarvationAndDiseaseMaster now! And here I was thinking I joined a game based off of inter-realm conflict. What was it called... Battlemaster was it? Eh, I can't remember.

I blame it on Zuma. Even their diabolical presence in Dwilight is extremely dangerous for us!
