Diseases in ME

In Medieval Europe, it's possible to catch diseases. Currently, three diseases can be caught:

  • Plague
  • Bleeding Wound
  • Tipsiness
  • Drunkenness

How a character can 'catch' a disease?

A character may catch a disease for a game mechanic, or from another character.

How a character can be cured of a disease?

Only a member of a Church can cure a disease, provide that the Church owns the correct Dogma Bonuses. The diseases curable by a Member of a Church are Plague, Bleeding Wound. Alternatively, a player can buy an Elixir of Cure Disease, a premium bonus item purchased with doubloons.

What happens to a character that is infected with a disease?

Every disease, after some time and until is not cured:

  • Applies effects to a character (for example, some Health Points are taken off);
  • If it's infective, tries to infect other characters.

Some disease effects cannot apply in some circumstances:
