suggestion for the makers: add a couple of more ships to even the odds

« Solprovider’s better system: Virus. Cuba, Greenland, Madagascar, or New Zealand. Buy Sneezing, Coughing. If Madagascar, buy Vomiting. Buy Moisture1, Heat1, Cold1. Sell Sweating. When non-starter region @4K infected, sell Vomiting; @8K, sell Coughing; @30K sell Sneezing. Wait for all infected. Buy in order: Drug4, Coughing, Hemorrhaging, Pulmonary Edema, Diarrhea, Kidney Failure, Hypersensitivity, Fever, Fatigue. Full details @ http://www.kongregate.com/forums/3/topics/34897 » Solprovider should be the one with over 9000 upvotes. I won on my third try with this strategy after starting in Cuba (disease name Capitalism!). I skipped coughing at the start because buying and selling it seemed wasteful, and those 7 points saved did help at the end. I kept sneezing slightly longer than suggested. All regions were infected (Argentina last) after 24 days, and all were exterminated after 74 days. 3/5 for luck-based gameplay, boosted to 4/5 for cultural impact. Shut down everything, indeed.

FINALLY got the impossible badge today. Started in Canada, which should have made it harder. Tips for others struggling with this:
1) Use a Virus
2) Do not spend ANY points on Transmission effects.
3) Starting out, the only Symptoms on your disease should be Sneezing Coughing and Fever.
4) Boost to Drug Resist 2 immediately. Wait until a vaccine is researched to get 3 and 4.
5) You do not need to get Heat, Cold, and Moisure resistance beyond 1, and not until your starting is at 50K infection.

In a strange twist of fate, a lethal virus first discovered in Madagascar raged across the planet but two lonely hospitals in the infection-free regions of Africa fought to save the world with a vaccine...

Tips for Realistic Parasite class:
first you need to complete the transmission
second complete the FIRST FIVE symptoms ONLY
third complete ALL of the Resistance which, yes, you need patience
finally, get it everything done

I don't understand how a disease with zero visibility and zero deaths can cause countries to panic and start shutting things down?

This game is the basis for Plague, a Game of the Year winner. They do attribute this game as their inspiration on their website. It is a different, private company that produces Plague. There are a few differences between the games too.
