Son of a....I missed getting the impossible badge by 1...1 freaking day. You couldn't have died out 24 hours sooner north africa?!?!

The irony fate has placed on me. I started playing this game three years ago. I struggled for weeks but couldn’t infect Madagascar. Today I come back for the first time, and had the luck of getting Madagascar as my starting point. Overjoyed and reasonably skeptical, I came to a realization why it is insanely and stupidly impossibly for anyone to infect Madagascar. I sat there staring at my monitor as Madagascar slowly and slowly became 95% infected BEFORE ANY GOD FORSAKEN SHIP EVEN CAME TO HARBOR. After 60 days, a ship hit harbor and then went on its merry way infecting the rest of the world and it was no more than 10 days, every country in the world was infected. I smiled, threw points into everything leading to death. I waited. I chuckled. I waited, several days passed; I erupted into an uncontrollable mad laughter as the countries became forsaken. The third badge was rewarded for my work. My first attempt at this game after three years prevailed. I thank you, people responsible.

A real issue I've got with this game, however, is the lack of progress of infection even while the days go by, if you don't have Pandemic 2 on top. I start a game, and get set up early, but 10 days later, I still only have 30 infected because I was playing another game. It's fine if the game pauses because you're not actively playing, but to keep running the days, yet freeze progress, that's not reasonable, especially since you have to completely restart the game each time (which includes choosing Realistic, your disease type, and inputting the disease name every single time you have to start a New Game). It's very annoying.

It's rough how Realistic mode is almost entirely luck based, where often times, I can't kill the world just because no ship bothered to dock at Madagascar for 25 days before it shut down shipyards, or Peru closed its borders very quickly, both of those regions being the only ones with only 1 method of entry. Still, I know it's doable cause I've done it before, just not here.

set up a simple disease maybe just a fever sympton with all transmissinos and a few resistances
then leave it for 3-5 mins come back and you'll have loads of evolution points to spend and start
being evil with as most countries are infected. However, unless you start in MADAGASCAR it results
in every nation/continent devoid of life except Madagascar.
This is for MEDIUM BADGE ONLY! Keep this alive, I messed up in the last one!

Only real comment is when the vaccine fails and the world has to start over it still lists it as completed and distributed.

Done in 77 Days, somehow there was this trait that made the virus extra infective, whole world infected in 16 days, happened most likely once in 2000 tries but magically worked..

It took 3 full days for the last <100 people to die. Seriously? That put me up to 101 days, total. And I was lucky enough to start in Madagascar, too. -_-

@ Nauto98001: Thank you for your helpful advices! I've just finished Relaxed in 62 days and got the Impossible badge. Thanks again!

This game is bugged, I had all countries affected by day 38, and people magically stopped dying at 65. Every place was in red condition, and everything stopped besides the time counter and days. wtf is wrong with this?

I like the idea of this game, but for gods sake... give madagaskar an airport and a bit more traffic... Afterall it is a country that basically thrives on tourism!!!

Soon after I infect 5 countries with a disease that only causes sneezing the world creates a vaccine shortly after...

In my last game the first reported death was in Madagascar - I like to think that I killed the President and deserve the badge, but despite the rest of the world being wiped out in 2 months those pesky Indonesians have escaped me!

No lethality, yet people want to stop it. No infectivity, yet millions are infected every day. No visibility, yet everyone shuts down borders. Is it just me, or does realistic mode seem a bit... unrealistic?

Rebulid 1 comment: timfh[40] This wouldn't happen in Madagascar. Rebuild 2 comment: C0ffeeCup[34] This still never would've happened in Madagascar. Pandemic 2: likeanonion[9] Why won't it spread to madagascar!?!?

Leuteniant: Captain, sir! The port we were heading to has been unexpectedly closed! What are we going to do?
Captain: We have infinite fuel, so just keep navigating around the Atlantic of course. They pay me for this.
