Oh, yes... but I said 'local' hunger... one region, or two...for big hungers there is no way out!... and yes, often a town or a city was destroyed and all the population killed... but a whole region? ... even the worst plagues, (as the Plague of Justinian or the Black Death) only killed half of the population.
Well... Maybe BM regions are smaller than I supposed...
Half of general populations. I believe some localities were completely wiped off the map by the plague, and the damage it caused was certainly not spread evenly.
