Starving units may get diseased even if they weren't starving the previous turn.

Yes, but my impression is this is because they unluckily got "hit twice" in one turn. A lack of X supplies means X effects randomly sprinkled on the troops, and a second sprinkle on the same troop means disease. I could be wrong, though.

Are you sure of this? In Dom1, I recall a time when I had one of the Eternal Knights get diseased, and a good thirty turns later, it had no afflictions beyond that...

Very sure, as I have kept some people alive at home after getting diseased, using regeneration items. They get sicker and sicker, until you find a way to cure the disease. The chance of an affliction is probably directly proportional to 1/HP, though, so a wimpy priest with a never healing wound is more likely to get afflicted than a special knight.

The creatures: Harvester of Sorrow, Pazazu, and Mabakeil can all cause a virulent disease that kills population but also diseases commander/troops in that particular province (though the chance is low). This includes friendly units as well.

The Bane Venom charm works the same way except it doesn't cause disease in commander/troops (except the one it's equipped on)

Really? Ok, I have a Black Servant that I equipped with a Bane Venom Charm and sent into enemy territory. He's been there for around 5 or so turns and now has 25703 xp and is leading the Hall. Of course he has 5 stars, but he has NEVER been in battle! So you get experience from killing population?

No that's a nasty bug with sneaking units I think.
