Fun! That's leaving me with a lot of ruined cities and fortresses on the western portion of the map, and a bit of post-apocalyptic stuff as I move east. I'm thinking there are a few mountain enclaves of healthy people who have learned to cope and might even have developed high rates of resistance to the plague, but they're cut off from the rest of civilization by ravenous plague-mad animals.

I think I'm going to try out that Bryce tutorial graciously provided by Anna. I've got some ideas about how to inject my own style into it.

Do we yet have any idea how long ago the plague first appeared and how long it's been since it started spreading out of control?
