So like, just to be clear, this game has strict tules about the disease not spreading, even a little, if the government closes its borders? So if Madagascar closes its ports, it's basically game over?

No worse feeling in the world than having everywhere infected aside from Madagascar and seeing a ship about to enter just as soon as they shut their borders lmao

Sometimes return to this game for old time's sake but quickly stop playing when I remember why it's infamous. There might be some strategies which work better than others but overall it's pure luck whether you'll have a shot at winning or not.
Such as that time that I started out in Madagascar and lost because no ship ever left their harbour.

0/5, completely unrealistic that governments would respond so effectively enough to keep a virus out, especially so quickly.

Started in Madagascar & still can't infect the whole world. The one time I got into everywhere, the vaccine came with 600K people still healthy :( :(

its funny the game did better than Covid for keeping atleast one country perfectly healthy, just shows to you how humanity failed this year, hopefully we can beat the virus like this game did.

Greenland's ship port is open, but I still have a stubborn ship just circling the ocean begging for someone ELSE to let them in. Is Greenland so bad? This reminds me of the Coronovirus incident in the US where Trump wouldn't let a cruise ship land because people were infected. Everyone is just about dead. If I don't beat the game because of this one ship... so help me.

All the shipyards closed while a boat was out at sea. It's been circling between Canada and Europe for several months now.

why is it that in here the US in here is able to shut down the borders for good but not in real life! I call this game unrealistic and Bullcrap

*plays in relaxed mode* "ok this should be pretty easy" *evolves no symptoms* "ok my visibility is zero so i will never be spotted" *they spot me anyway* "ok but i have no symptoms so they shouldn't waste their time and resources to try to cure a harmless disease" *Madagascar shuts down ports and all other nations of the world simultaneously decide that the disease is a threat to humanity and closes all borders* "well that escalated quickly"

first off, Madagascar is downright impossible to infect. Second of all, When a country is closed it can never be infected, meaning when 1 country closes you immediately lose.

Just got the Impossile Badge following the description of DarkMythos. Thanks! I had to try very often though. I guess best starting point is Cuba. In Greenland you begin spreading very fast, but there seem to be few direct flight contacts to Brazil, which you have to infiltrate quick to reach Peru and Argentina in time (both having no Airports). You reach South America better from Cuba. And you really can't rely on ship contacts. That's why it's so hard to spread to Madagascar. Starting from Madagascar isn't good anyway because it takes so long to spread to another country. And this first infiltrated other region is your second starting point, so the one ship you've waited for so long leaving madagascar also has to hit a good starting country like Greenland, Cuba or New Zealand and that's very improbably.

Badge is impossible. I've even started in Madagascar, and it is absolutely impossible to win in hard mode, period. The second its spotted, EVERYTHING shuts down. I'd rate this higher if it weren't for the ACTUALLY impossible badge, but just the instant 'snap, everyone is closed' thing is bull.

(Repost) A sum up: 1. When 60-70 mil infected, reactions from nations start to happen. 2. Hardest places to infect, besides Madagascar, is Greenland, NewZeland, Cuba, Indonesia, Japan (no land borders) and even Peru (no airport, or seaport). 3. Spreading to other countries starts when some percentage of the people are infected, so leaving that country, transfers the virus. Best strategy (85-95 day ending) is: Good place to start one of the above i mentioned, with best Greenland (55000 pop). No other symptoms besides sneezing at beggining. You sell sneezing when 4 counties has infected. A Virus with only level 1 resistance cold, heat, moisture. NOT drug. NO transmission ways either, cause they trigger reactions faster. Let the days past, and with luck too, you may infect all countries before reach 100-200 mil infected wordwide. When you infect all countries, get Drug to level 3 or 4, and only up to tier3 symptoms. Take as many as you can except Sweating, Nausea, Dementia and Depression
