[BUG] The plauge

from Demigod Forums

i put it my other post before this i thought it deserved its own thread and instead of retyping heres a copy and paste

 The plauge yes its cool very cool but it doesnt work like it says it says chance on attack, I walked through a bunch of new spawn enemies without attacking but as soon as they atk me they got the plague somehow i didnt really care about that cause it helped me but its still a problem, also 30 dmg a second and it does 300 dmg over 30 seconds and my math is good enough to know that those numbers dont add at the rate it goes  (30dmg every 1 sec=900 dmg)

Also....towers (or the helath stone) can get the plague...and in turn spread it back to your creeps...
And the green text gets to be VERY annoying.  I also do not believe that you become immune to he plague because I have "plagified" an enemy rook, who subsequently goes into his base.....and comes out again (about 1 minute later) andwas plagued again.

Did you have any items that gave the "thorns" bonus?  That could be causing the "I walked through a bunch of new spawn enemies without attacking but as soon as they atk me they got the plague somehow " thing.

That is why.  It gives you "thorns", which automatically damage creeps that melee attack you.  The plague must get spread through thorns as well as normal attacks.

Probably not.  Plague is pretty good to begin with.

I think there may be something going on with ooze too. Even without a Thorns piece of armor, I've seen many units quite a ways away getting the plauge. On more than one ocasion, this has happened immediately after I turned on ooze; with every unit in a line approaching me getting the disease simultaneously (probably as soon as the first got within range of the ooze effect). I haven't been able to rule out the reservoir effect of structures, or my UB attack a creep when I didn't notice it, but I'm pretty sure that the ooze's damage may be enough to transmit the plague.
