Entertaining, somewhat addictive, overall worth the time spent playing.
There are a number of oddities though, most of which serve no purpose other than to make the game near-unwinnable.
* Regions will panic and start to burn bodies. Even if you haven't made any bodies to bury.
*The ENTIRE WORLD panics even if the disease causes no apparent harm.
* Island nations can render themselves entirely untouchable far too easily.

Few problems I'm seeing...
1. I have no symptoms or deaths and they are closing borders and burning bodies??
2. Madagascar seems to evade me every time.. I've taken everyone else out except there.. guess thats where we "have" to start... (4/5)

Very fun, but the game relies too much on luck. If you start in almost anywhere but Madagascar you have a very low chance of winning. However, I still love it. 4/5.

What most everyone else said... once airports and shipyards start closing down, you might as well start over. Maybe riots could override closed borders and such, but I've never managed to start any riots.
Other than that, there are quite a lot of symptoms that are pretty much the same. Increase lethality, infectivity or visibility. It would be cool if say, getting sneezing+coughing+airborne gave an extra boost in infectivity and similar things. Diarrhea+vomiting would make it even more lethal by both dehydrating victims, etc...

Guys, I don't see why you're complaining so much about the countries freaking out over a disease with no symptoms. It doesn't matter if it has no symptoms, when a country finds out it's water supply has some new bacteria in it they're going to freak out. And when they find out it's spread to other countries it's going to get worse.

Part of my last post got cut off.
traits seems to develop to slowly to be interesting. My current disease has infected 95% of the planet and is half through killing everyone off at 418 days. But only has 2 extra traits -famous and -Immune. Some earlier traits or just more overall would help out with the fun and replayability of this game.

Focus on spreading and raising the resistance, then, when the whole world has been infected, kill'em tiger.
I've started in Madgascar, so it was very easy;

Love this game, however I have some suggestions.
First is make disaster have better effect - currently they really don't seem to do anything. Hurricanes should spread disease across closed borders. other countries should aid disaster stricken ones bring disease.
rats and insects should cross closed borders unless countermeasures have been started in the destination country. They should flee countries with countermeasures in place.
Low visibility diseases seem to be detected too easily. Currently Even if i have a disease with no symptoms at a all, countries will start to react once the infected population reaches 1/3 or higher.

And Finally - more boats to Madagascar!

I have one major issue with this game, and that is that diseases with absolutely no symptoms will still cause panic and close things down. How do these people even realize they've caught a virus?

Wow I think I'm doing something wrong....
I can beat the first one no sweat, but for some reason this one is giving me problems...
I get all the resistances, air, water, insects, and rodents. Then I get like zero visibility and lethalness, and super high infect.
And then all the countries start freaking out when my desease is like invisible...
Idk I still like this game, I'm gunna figure it out.

Focus on spreading before you start killing. that way every country has it before they notice it. Then start getting killing traits

This game - although I have not played it here on Kongregate yet, is rather fun indeed. I cannot tell if there were any changes, but I'll assume not. I don't see any implemented API? I would urge the developer to update the game with API so the badly wanted badges by so many of these players can actually be added!
Fun game - hope to see more.
