Plague Camp

Plague Camp outside the castle

The Plague Camp is the only place where players can hire plague doctors outside the castle. They will stay within a limited period of time similar to other camps outside the castle, and its reappearance is estimated between 7-14 days.

Plague Doctors[]

Plague Doctors are event-only mercenaries which specialize in sending plague to their targets. Hiring one costs 370 rubies each, and unlike spies, they cannot do military or economic espionage such as castles and outposts. Even if the camp disappears, players can keep them at their disposal, which grants them accessibility to send plague they want. However, they can only be used once per target.

The Plague is an event-exclusive option which only plague doctors can access. It is similar to a regular sabotage made by the spies, but contains a mechanic which if an attempt fails, the identity of the culprit will remain hidden to its intended victim. It contains the maximum limit up to 200 Plague Doctors per attempt.

The cost of the plague varies to the number of plague doctors that will send out and the risk percentage of getting caught. Either the target can be too far or too near, its distance will never increase its total value. They also have a fixed amount of travel time of ten minutes and they don’t require stables to speed up its process.

Once the player sends them out, they will start from the newly-appeared plague camp established nearby the target's location. They cannot cancel or withdraw their mission similar to shadow attacks, and if the plague went successful, instead it ignites fire to its following buildings, it will display a skull symbol which will reduce its productivity and its public order. The repair time and cost to these buildings will vary to the kind of structure and the total damage dealt to it.

Notes[]

  • It is possible that the Plague Camp contains a discount that reduces the costs of the Plague Doctors.
  • Though it can help to cover up the player's identity during the plague attempt, It is not recommended to spend rubies for hiring plague doctors in the first place: (1) They were too expensive, (2) They were one-time use, (3) They contain less capabilities than the spies, (4) Can't force withdraw their mission, and (5) Plague only functions the same way as the sabotage.
