Hate to say this, but I as running out of parameters with which to modify
diseases.  Check out the documents I wrote on it:  I've used pretty
much every sensible parameter and a lot of senseless ones, for tuning
diseases, and
documented them very carefully so I sort of object to you describing them as
"needlessly obscure".

At the time there were no quick and easy ways of changing the names of
stuff in archetypes to something nice like DISEASE_DAMAGE_ADJUSTER.
