Switchable Plagues

Not to be confused with the Nurgle mechanic: Plague Cauldron

Switchable Plagues is a campaign mechanic for Daemons of Chaos.

Overview

Switchable Plagues imbues armies with plague that grant bonuses to armies of Daemons of Chaos and Nurgle. Non-Daemons of Chaos and Nurgle armies will suffer negative effects if a plague spreads to them.

Unlocking

Switchable Plagues becomes available by unlocking Nurgle's Gifts III in Daemonic Glory ( 770 Nurgle Glory required).

How it works

Once unlocked, Switchable Plagues appears on the top left side of the army ui. Simply click on the icon and choose one of the four plagues to imbue your army. The plagues do not have a cooldown and can be switch whenever except when engaging on battle.
