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?

@HordeSlaughterer
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.

Jul. 24, 2010 Scientist: we've just found a new virus, which has no symptoms, no effects, causes nothing does nothing hurts no one. President of Madagascar: Shut everything down, stop people from leaving, burn all dead people, hand out gas masks, give out water, declare martial law. This could be the end of the world!!!

So lucky. Every country infected in 19 days using virus. Started in New Zealand and upgraded heat and moisture resistances. My reasoning was that I wanted the virus to grow as little as possible in my starting country but grow as fast as possible every where else.

@awesomeman24, this predates plague inc by a LOT. this (which is a sequel) was Published Jul. 21, 2008. Plague Inc was published May 26, 2012. Not only is this 4 years older than Plague Inc, but it's a logical progression of its predecessor. Plague Inc is a blatant rip of this game, and rating this game down for being good enough to spawn a paid clone of it is just plain ignorant.

@blim76 All I can suggest is that you do it again, but take a screenshot this time and report a missing achievement with the screenshot as proof that you should've earned it.

humanity exterminated completely 3 times now on relaxed and even got a start on madagascar one of those times. The badge has not been awarded though and I cant work out why. Any ideas?
