Summary0016221: Dreadnought disease is killing me
Description
Caught a plague called "dreadnought disease," everyone is dying. Down to 0000042:0000300 citizens, have 0000206:0000100 births per turn and the same number of deaths. I recall they died off really quickly too.

It seems like if it's going to be this game-destroying, it needs to be less random seeming so the player's clued in to the possibility that it could be a danger in their current setup so they have a chance to adapt before they die. Like maybe the Gaia spirit of the planet or whatever (I seem to remember something along those lines from an early teaser video) says "Whoa, too many shrines and not enough pollution, I'm gonna smite your sinful society with a plague if you don't shape up." Or you get a diplomacy screen from the Peltians or whoever telling you they have a plague, and you have a choice of whether you want to quarantine them (stopping the disease from spreading to you, but also stopping trade). Or maybe you should get a ton of citizens affected with common cold level bugs that simply give you annoying minor debuffs, so you're clued in that your healthcare system might be inadequate, but allowed to limp along -- the dire arch plague that totally wipes you out only happens if you don't improve the situation for a while.

Or maybe this disease just straight-up needs to be nerfed.
