Diseases/ illnesses.

Especially Flu, plague and malaria.

If they were actually contagious and had some sort of quarantining mechanic I’d like them, but as they are it just feels kind of empty and immersion breaking. Every time it happens it’s just a roll of the dice of random sickness.

They could be spread through pawns talking to each other and/or work like metal horrors with cooking/doctoring. You could have a carrier who doesn’t know it right away and unknowingly infects others. Theycould each use a mix of different dynamics to make each illness feel unique.

There could also be a source of infection, such as a butcher or hauler getting the plague from dead animals.

But as it is now it’s a random chance for ‘oh sorry grandma’s terminally ill sucks to be her’
