Will there be disease in-game? If so, how will it work, how can it be cured, etc.
That would be quite hard to put on for the character … But if there is alchemy, I guess we’ll have some minor diseases! I doubt you’ll have nothing too bad though
I have read somewhere, that you can actually get cold and fever, because of walking in nature lightly dressed and you will die.
Symptom: Odd rash on your forearm.
Cure: Go and drown that weird old woman living at the outskirts of the hamlet, probably a witch and besides just a useless mouth for the community to feed.

Maybe the Black Death will knock on some doors 
1347-1351. people really need to read things more closely.
what? Do you really think that the black death killed 1/3 of populace in Europe and after only 4 years dissapeared?
no. but please post the source where it had any prominent effect during the game’s time
In Norway two thirds of the population died… you were lucky
I have no specific information about the Black-Death disease but I’m quite sure that the illness spread over europe for about half a century.
Plague have been in Europe for almost 4 centuries.
It would certainly make sense to at least see some repercussions of the disease, if not some of the actual symptoms. Since the game starts in 1403, there would certainly be talk, fear, perhaps even preventative planning going on amongst the people. I don’t think we should see people everywhere dying in the streets and makeshift medical tents or anything, but something to show the far reaching effects of something like a large-scale disease would fit right in.
what is the prevalence and degree of the impact black death had in rurual bohemia 1403? a chart showing the blackdeath from 1347 to 1351 is useless for this purpose.
The plague repeatedly returned to haunt Europe and the Mediterranean throughout the 14th to 17th centuries.[73] According to Biraben, plague was present somewhere in Europe in every year between 1346 and 1671.[74] The Second Pandemic was particularly widespread in the following years: 1360–63; 1374; 1400; 1438–39; 1456–57; 1464–66; 1481–85; 1500–03; 1518–31; 1544–48; 1563–66; 1573–88; 1596–99; 1602–11; 1623–40; 1644–54; and 1664–67. Subsequent outbreaks, though severe, marked the retreat from most of Europe (18th century) and northern Africa (19th century).[75] According to Geoffrey Parker, “France alone lost almost a million people to plague in the epidemic of 1628–31.”[76]
In England, in the absence of census figures, historians propose a range of preincident population figures from as high as 7 million to as low as 4 million in 1300,[77] and a postincident population figure as low as 2 million.[78] By the end of 1350, the Black Death subsided, but it never really died out in England. Over the next few hundred years, further outbreaks occurred in 1361–62, 1369, 1379–83, 1389–93, and throughout the first half of the 15th century.[79] An outbreak in 1471 took as much as 10–15% of the population, while the death rate of the plague of 1479–80 could have been as high as 20%.[80] The most general outbreaks in Tudor and Stuart England seem to have begun in 1498, 1535, 1543, 1563, 1589, 1603, 1625, and 1636, and ended with the Great Plague of London in 1665.[81]
Plague Riot in Moscow in 1771: During the course of the city’s plague, between 50 and 100 thousand people died, comprising ⅙ to ⅓ of its population.
In 1466, perhaps 40,000 people died of plague in Paris.[82] During the 16th and 17th centuries, plague visited Paris for almost one year out of every three.[83] The Black Death ravaged Europe for three years before it continued on into Russia, where the disease hit somewhere once every five or six years from 1350 to 1490.[84] Plague epidemics ravaged London in 1563, 1593, 1603, 1625, 1636, and 1665,[85] reducing its population by 10 to 30% during those years.[86] Over 10% of Amsterdam’s population died in 1623–25, and again in 1635–36, 1655, and 1664.[87] There were 22 outbreaks of plague in Venice between 1361 and 1528.[88] The plague of 1576–77 killed 50,000 in Venice, almost a third of the population.[89] Late outbreaks in central Europe included the Italian Plague of 1629–1631, which is associated with troop movements during the Thirty Years’ War, and the Great Plague of Vienna in 1679. Over 60% of Norway’s population died in 1348–50.[90] The last plague outbreak ravaged Oslo in 1654.[91]
In the first half of the 17th century, a plague claimed some 1.7 million victims in Italy, or about 14% of the population.[92] In 1656, the plague killed about half of Naples’ 300,000 inhabitants.[93] More than 1.25 million deaths resulted from the extreme incidence of plague in 17th-century Spain.[94] The plague of 1649 probably reduced the population of Seville by half.[95] In 1709–13, a plague epidemic that followed the Great Northern War (1700–21, Sweden v. Russia and allies)[96] killed about 100,000 in Sweden,[97] and 300,000 in Prussia.[95] The plague killed two-thirds of the inhabitants of Helsinki,[98] and claimed a third of Stockholm’s population.[99] Europe’s last major epidemic occurred in 1720 in Marseille.[90]

The Black Death ravaged much of the Islamic world.[100] Plague was present in at least one location in the Islamic world virtually every year between 1500 and 1850.[101] Plague repeatedly struck the cities of North Africa. Algiers lost 30 to 50 thousand inhabitants to it in 1620–21, and again in 1654–57, 1665, 1691, and 1740–42.[102] Plague remained a major event in Ottoman society until the second quarter of the 19th century. Between 1701 and 1750, thirty-seven larger and smaller epidemics were recorded in Constantinople, and an additional thirty-one between 1751 and 1800.[103] Baghdad has suffered severely from visitations of the plague, and sometimes two-thirds of its population has been wiped out.[104]

I didn’t find any other picture showing the plague. But it wasn’t that different 50 years later…maybe it was even worse
I think that was a joke, but I am not sure.
Martin KlĂma once said it here:
Interview with Martin KlĂma (sorry, if you aren’t from Czech republic, you are not going to understand it)
It doesn’t really matter if there will be plague, I’m sure the NPCs will have fear of getting it anyway.
