my ulitmate strategy that infected almost every couuntry is this, pick realistic pick virus then sell all starting symptoms then get airborne then work up resistances and get waterborne and then get all resistances.

Adviser to leader of Greenland: 53 people are alive sir.
Leader: Just close transit down, that will stop the disease.

Some suggestions for this:
-Countries need to OPEN their borders again if your disease goes into hiding, or recession, or something. It needs to be something other than "Oh, a random event triggered, I lose." There needs to be a way to get around it. Whether it be through just lowering visibility, or having a dormancy option, or something. Alternatively, there needs to be a way to spread into countries with closed borders (why doesn't having airborne or waterborne transmission do that already?)
-Zero infectivity needs to result in your disease dying out. Zero visibility should guarantee that you will spread everywhere without having borders closed (as it should be impossible to get zero visibility, due to the above issue of your disease dying out). Clearly, some numbers need to be tweaked behind the scenes.

The balance needs to be shifted so that the goal is to balance infectivity with visibility - there needs to be a reason to increase infectivity (your disease needs to just die out if it's at zero). Similarly, there needs to be a reason to keep visibility low - it should actually help you spread everywhere, instead of it just being a complete crapshoot. Until those issues are fixed to actually add useful decision-making to the game, this isn't even a game - it's just a probability simulator (I wonder if the 'spread to region' probability will hit before the 'close borders' probability hits this time! Woo).

Alright, so some other points about this game: Firstly, you should be able to scroll by dragging on the main screen. There's absolutely no reason for that not to exist other than laziness.
More importantly, however, it's quite clear this game was not playtested enough, if at all. It's completely luck, and what strategy exists only exists to try to mitigate that fact. Infection is WAY too easy - once your virus hits any given region that region is doomed, even if your infectivity is literally zero. Similarly, it is WAY too easy to just be completely locked out of a region - even if your visibility is literally zero, 90% of the time at least one region will close its borders in time and that's it. This takes all possible strategy out of the game, since visibility instantly ruins you and infectivity isn't needed.

Alright, this game is pretty amusing, but is it seriously necessary to tell me to go read the tutorial every time I start a new game? Yes, thank you, I get it. Put in a one-time check for that stuff, it's not hard. It's annoying and it's just bad, lazy programming. 3/5 just for that, because you can do better.

F**k you world, Sure half of ya' are infected, but not a single one is dead. Well... might as well start the death toll. DIE B*TCHES DIE!

O my good all the countrys execpt one were inffected by a virus without syptoms and magadascar close the door .So the virus couldn't enter to the beautifull island

Okay, Mr. Madagascarian President, WHAT ON EARTH MADE YOU THINK A VIRUS WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS IS HARMFUL TO YOUR COUNTRY? >:(

Almost everyone's gonna die, and it's all Australia's fault. If you end up in Madagascar (which I luckily did), they switch roles.

There's a poor little ship just going back and forth around the Atlantic, unsure of what to do because all the borders are closed.. I feel bad for it which is strange because I'm completely chill with trying to kill the entire human race..

Such a terrible game. Only way is to beat the game is to start from Madagascar.
1 be patient and choose madagascar
2 choose virus
3 choose sneeze and sell off any other
4 Resist to heat, moist and cold (no other)
5 spread to 2 countries and take out the sneeze
6 once any country shuts the airport enable all transmission, cough, sneeze and fever
then kidney failure and then max out all resist.
7 you will...
what a terrible game though

Damn...I've been away from /b/ for a long time I guess. I never knew SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN had become a meme until now. Well, I got the impossible months ago. It's by far one of the easiest impossible's. Also, what the hell 1ani2? Do you really think nobody is going to notice what you copied is one of the most popular comments ever?

nauto98001, i tried your guide and it was TERRIBLE! i killed 1 person when i had 56921 people infected and i probably wasted like 150 days.. it was horrible

1.) Pick Virus. 2) Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, West Europe, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3) Sell the starting symptoms, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4) Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5) Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6) Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7) Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8) After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9) Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. 10) keep this comment alive Thanks for the comment! I got 13th of all time by using this method.

Storms over Europe beginning to break up.
The United Sates is experiencing droughts.
Storms over Madagascar beginning to break up.
Madagascar!
Oh wait, just storms.
D= Why do you do this to me!!!!!

Am I to understand that the player (after manufacturing and distributing the disease from his home lab in Madagascar) tips off the local government to shut down the port?
