Plant attack?

[SciencePro]

I just got a message that "Some ancient Power has been disturbed, turning everyone in the province into mindless plant beings!"

Is this a spell or random event or what?

[Gregstrom]

It's a random event - see Edi's list for full details.

Basically, that province is screwed. If you have enough charm/enslave capacity, you might recover something from the wreckage though.

Why is the province screwed?

[Gregstrom]

The event kills off ~95% of its population.

Very nasty and Gregstrom can witness.
