Economy

Scorched Earth, I think, did not only involve fire but generally making sure that anything in the path that you were retreating in would not be left useful for the encroaching enemy. By any means eg. they collapsed mines, salted fields, sabotaged machinery etc.

How about 'the plague' - requires holy men or similar to cure, and becomes very likely when you have very crowded cities?

What about iron/copper too?

Generally gold is taken to represent metals in general, since it is the most precious.

Stronghold had diseases, it was a pain and awfully annoying unless you had a ton of herbalists that would dispel the plague clouds.

And for the scorched earth, I was saying flame as an alternative, seeing that i believe they implemented flaming terrain.
