I mean...even aside from a general reduction in disease helping us, i'd like to remind people that our neighbors 1. are in the middle of chaos even aside from the disease, 2. are already in the midst of a major outbreak, and 3. likely don't have either a comparable admin or shaman infrastructure to us.
We had the advantages of having cholera basically only coming from outside into one province, while being stable, while already expanding our shaman-infrastructure and already in the midst of pushing our shamans to study health, and we still had people die--not much, for a chalcolithic cholera outbreak, but still probably more than we've lost in generations to disease. They're not going to suddenly stop dying, because "dont let sick people shit near the river" doesn't help so much when half your people are sick and either your king is dead or your priesthood/chiefs are distracted by a war.
Hmm...on that note
@Academia Nut , how does our priesthood and bureaucracy compare to our neighbors? We were trading with them up until recently, so i'd assume we'd have a decent idea behind "probably better than theirs"
[x] The whole lowlands are kind of a mess, you know? (-3 Stability, +6-8 Econ, other effects)
[x] Share with even those who don't want to listen (-1 Diplomacy, +1 immediate Stability, chance for additional stability, other effects)
[x] Expansion
Let the provinces expand while we megaproject, perhaps?
