Did anyone ever encounter a plague that spread from 1 planet to the ENTIRE galaxy (All the planets as far as I can tell). And it did that in a matter of 1 in-game month. So is this some sort of a bug or am I (and not only me

) just extremely unlucky?

And because all the planets are infected this is a never ending plague. As soon as it dies down on a planet it spreads to that planet again from the surrounding worlds.

I've never had it speard that far but I've had a half dozen planets trade it between themselves a dozen times or so. The planets populations crashed from billions to single digit millions.

Sounds very cool. I would love to have that happen (in game, of course, not for reals!).

I ended the game there as the population of every empire was dropping by around a dozen billions per year. I might return to it and see how it plays in a galaxy where each planet only has 1 M of survivors and you cannot build ships any more. Perhaps this is AAR material

Heck yes! In a great game (like DW) every disaster is simply an opportunity for awesome and unexpected things to happen.
