My strategy (NOT TESTED EXTENSIVELY) Start out with virus and do what Nauto (top commenter) says up to Step 4. You should now go IMMEDIATELY to Tier 4 and ONLY keep diseases that have no noticeability (or very slight). Make sure you have heart failure as it gives no noticeability and a high rate of death. If Madagascar ever closes it's shipyards, restart. The same goes for any island that closes everything. (any land-connected countries will ABSOLUTELY be infected by now, unless they closed airports and shipyards early). Plus me if this worked out for you! (may take a few tries)
Of course, the first thing I do when I see a disease that does absolutely nothing when a vaccine is in development is shut down all hospitals within the country.
Also, ranging priorities would be nice since my Priest can't heal my units with a giant boss standing right in front of him. It'd be nice to make it so your ranger will attack a specific enemy type or set your priests to only heal.
PastLife17: Press/hold the button with the mouseover the first object, then realease where you want it to link to. Also needs a fan of some sort (wind factor for clean-up lol)
You can change Damping from the object menu, 500 speed and rotation damping should do the trick. Also makes aiming quite a bit easier. Remember to set damping back to 0 after you've spawned the gun or the bullets will be damped as well.
It would be great if you could set up key board controls to go with it. (sorry pressed Post too soon) and if Lightsabers could reflect bullets/slice stuff
To those of you who are colorblind: go to your computer settings and lower the color saturation to it's lowest value. Anyways, This game really needs a speed up button and a little more to go for (achievements, score ratings, etc.) Also, Im fairly certain you mean a "node" not a "mode." Node makes BILLIONS more sense.
