Name - Cholera
Rarity - Common
Turns - 5
Effect - Kill 10000*X civilians of a port. X = amount of turns invested. Max = 200

Math:
10,000*200 = 2,000,000
Max you can kill is 2,000,000 civilians per use (using max amount of turns)




Side note:
Mission Update of Exterminate port population: You have gained 2,435,155 points!
Your current score is 7,379,507 out of 7,453,796

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. RAGE QUIT.

-1. Already a common voodoo that serves this purpose, and depending on the port population, can be less effective than black death while requiring an absurd amount of extra turns.

I think there should be a way to reduce port population, in a similar way to raise population without voodoo. if you use enough gold the population does go up, rather slowly, so a way to use either gold or turns to reduce population in a similar way would be useful for small amounts. like maybe use X amount of turns and X amount of gold to "hire some mercs to take out some port citizens* or something along those line. adding a new voodoo will not be useful.

Did you read my side note.


That was my usage of Black Death. I had 70k more people to kill. ONLY 70k. That is unfair to the port's owners and me. Now I have to kill millions more just to clear out a few thousand people for my rank up. This is another way to clear out populations.

There are multiple ways to add danger to a fleet, why not more ways to kill civilians for mission quests?

There was a talk on that, and someone made a suggestion on the ability to attack a port to exterminate the population in exchange for turns and gold.

The voodoo allows you to chose howmany people you wish to kill. Perfect for nation quests.

The huge turn cost is a downside though.

When you think about it, say you only need to kill 500k.


50 turns + this voodoo = done.

Mate, 500k? That's literally one black death on a port with at least 50,000,000 population.

5 turns + Black Death = done.
