Apothecary/Stronghold Crusader

The apothecary requires one healer to operate. Healers spend their time brewing medicine before venturing out to visit the townsfolk. They patrol your city and keep a watch for disease clouds, in which case they run towards them and remove them. The healer keeps taking turns even when no disease is present. A healer can move out to clean up to three clouds with one walk.
An apothecary also provides all peasants and troops damage resistance against disease clouds. One building provides 20% resistance, up to a maximum of 60%.
Due to the the scarcity and relative ineffectiveness of disease, apothecaries are not too useful to keep around. This is due to the fact that disease does not affect units on high elevation, and the damage a single cloud causes can be mitigated by moving affects units out of its area of effect.
