You people disgust me. This game simulates engineering at it's finest, and if you can't see that or don't know how to do it, then screw off. Go play some other game that your simple mind can comprehend.
PEOPLE! Do not listen to the guides in the comments! I have a much better method, gotten all but 1 super-paranoid country with it before (No, it wasn't Madagascar. Yes, that's right: I got Madagascar.). BACTERIA + 2-2-2-0, Use same general strategy, When they start making vaccine buy all 4 drug resistances, then WAIT for all countries to be infected, then unleash hell on Earth.
Ok, I killed a basalisk and it still had enough hp to attack me before it died. What's up with that? Basically, I killed it and it died 1 turn after it should have. This was NOT defiance, but more like one of those glitches where you give a monster a headshot and it still has the time to kill you before the game realizes it's dead.
PEOPLE: PETITIONING WILL NOT HELP ANYTHING! IT WILL NOT HELP IT GET MULTIPLAYER, MORE BADGES, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THIS DAMN GAME! ALL PETITIONS HAVE BEEN FLAGGED!
