Though out of place for DF's medieval setting, weaponization of plagues may be a viable way of implementing them.

A sample of the plague is obtained. Possible sources include evil plants, plague-infected creatures that naturally spawn, etc...

The sample is cultured in organic broth to produce vials of concentrated plague virus that spreads much more rapidly, or an antivirus that provides your citizens long-term immunity (through the IT_IMMUNE_CLASS:ANTIVIRUS on the spreading interaction)

The vials of liquid are then used in a reaction to produce capsule bolts that evaporate upon stuckin, transmitting the plague interaction by breathing or contact.

If the victim is close by his fellows (as in a siege), the plague will then rapidly be transmitted throughout the siege before dissipating upon killing them.

Of course, if an infected enemy makes it into your fort or containment is otherwise broken during the research process (the research reaction can have a chance of containment failure, releasing a cloud of the plague), you'll find yourself a victim of said plague.

Or you may instead choose to intentionally infect one of your dwarves and send him out to be killed by an invading siege...but transmitting the plague to them before he dies.

Wait, is anything stopping a raised corpse from carrying syndromes it had already? If not, your dwarves would have a very, very good reason to burn there dead.

Corpses cannot carry syndromes due to being items...the only exception being if another creature has an interaction that animates them and then gives them a syndrome, much like a zombie virus.

Or if a syndrome dust can coat them, not unlike the ash or deadly dust.

Hmm, so a bit of tinkering could make it work. Wonderful!

A creature transformation caused by this syndrome that causes the creature to have blood that spreads the syndrome could be useful. IE:

Reanimation + Transformation into creature carrying deadly blood syndrome.
Whenever the creature is attacked, it splatters deadly blood, spraying the syndrome around. Anyone coated becomes this creature. One could also make a dwarf caste that the dwarves are transformed into upon contact.

Yep, this is how more or less my infected work. When they bite someone, they make him mad, and then he transforms into another infected. His blood becomes infected too, so yeah, lots of fun.

I'm thinking of making a whole set of syndromes that act like plagues...


A pack of illnesses and buffs as it were...

What do you guys think?

Would it be possible to add another syndrome effect which removes the [CREATURE_CLASS:PLAGUE_SUSCEPTIBLE] for a duration much longer than the symptoms exist?  I'm thinking affected dwarves would have antibodies, so once it goes around the fort once it wouldn't really take hold again.

AFAIK there isn't a way to remove a creature class yet.

Someone asked for a plague pack ?

8 to choose from, all ravage around for about 1 season, longer if no quarantined.
   - Hulk, 5% go berserk, rest gets stronger/faster.
   - Death, 10% die, rest feels sickly.
   - Vomiting, 100% get sick, vomit.
   - Sleep, 100% get tired, will fall asleep randomly.
   - No Sleep, 100% get no_sleep, but feel drowsy and dizzy.
   - Blind, 100% turn blind, lasts forever, though eyes might heal naturally (?)
   - Plague, 100% get fever and cough blood.
   - Sterile, 100% get sterile,  lasts forever.
