I have no trouble infecting Madagascar, but Australia is my main concern. I wasn't really surprised because Australians have more to worry about than diseases. Six of the 10 deadliest snakes are found in Australia, and even the platypus is venomous, causing extreme pain. Other dangerous animals include two types of jellyfish, stone fish, funnel web spider, great white shark, tiger snake, brown snake, red back spider and blue ring octopus.

Rules of everyone but madagascar: shut down if someone dies but otherwise who cares.Rules of madagascar: someone coughs close everything. Keep the chidren at home or else they'll get sick.

(Sorry about the spamming, but this is the last thing I have to say.) All and all, this comes down to the RNG in the game. You can do this from any country, but it works best in places that have both an airport and a shipyard. The smaller the population, the better. That's why it spreads the fastest from Greenland. I've gotten it to work in Cuba, Australia, Greenland, New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, and West Europe. I've started in Madagascar 8 times and only gotten every country from it once. Ships don't like to even leave there, meaning the disease likes to stay in that country until day 25. Once you get down a method that works, it turns all into luck.

Also, don't give up if Madagascar closes its shipyard. Countries can still be infected through a closed shipyard for about 2 days. Drug resistances are vital for both infecting faster and killing faster. Pulmonary Edema does almost nothing - get it absolutely last. Don't get transmissions ever. They trigger closures and if you do it after closures are happening every country will start handing out masks, bottled water, etc. Don't get tier 4. It's not worth it.

Pick virus. Start in Greenland*, Cuba, Australia, or New Zealand. Your starting symptom should either be Coughing or Sneezing* and your only trait should be Durable. Buy resistances 1-1-1-4 in any order. They just have to get there. Once every country is infected with at least one person, evolve Coughing and Vomiting. Wait until about half the world is infected. This is to prevent your disease from dying off with its victims. Now unlock Tier 2 and 3 and evolve Diarrhea, Dementia, Hemorrhaging, Hypersensitivity, Ataxia, Depression. Get anything else you like, it doesn't matter too much.
*Preferred.
Don't listen to other walkthroughs. They don't work. Don't start in Madagascar. Your disease has a very hard time getting OUT of there.

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.

Every single country is has everything locked down....Madagascar is uninfected like usual....but whats this? Seems Fidel Castro has once again decided to leave Cuba open for the heck of it!

I didn't kill a single person and the world is terrified of me... Oh, what have I done to anger you, cruel world? I only wanted to infect the world with a harmless disease, and then remove the harmless part of it. D:

The ports of Madagascar close as the virus spreads, but there's one boat that was still on its way. It approaches. It docks. The virus spreads. I HAVE INFECTED A CLOSED MADAGASCAR! MUAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! SCREW THOSE OTHER PLACES I MISSED I WON THE GAME!!!

It is all about making it as infectious as possible without it being noticed. Spreadable by all means possible with no symptoms until the world is infected. Then BAAMMM. Make it deadly.

The game is really bad.
It needs this improvement
CAN BORDERS STOP INSECTS,AIR AND WATER FROM SPREADING DIEASE ? NO THEY CAN'T!!!!!!!You understand what improvemepnt it needs.

29,000,000 people dying every day with blood pouring from their eyes and ears. My disease's trait, you ask? Why, "Harmless", of course!

Doctor: "Hey guys we somehow found a new disease which doesn't do anything and poses no health risks at all" Government: "ALERT ALERT TELL THE EARTH TO SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN THIS COULD BE THE START OF A APOCALYPSE"

Start as a virus on any island, India, China, Middle East, or South Africa. Preferably Australia. Make sure the starting symptom it gives you is either Sneezing or Coughing and you are durable. Buy either Sneezing or Coughing (whichever one it didn't give you). The starting country should be the first one to close something (usually something like schools). Once it closes something, devolve coughing. Wait for every country to get infected with at least one person. Buy Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Dementia, and every tier 3 symptom. If you don't have enough, leave out Depression, Ataxia, and Kidney Failure (in that order). If you have some left over, buy Nausea, Sweating, Coughing, Fatigue, and Pulmonary Edema (in that order). Hope that they die fast enough to kill everyone in 100 days. All countries should be infected by day 20, all countries should be bright red by day 30, and half the world should be dead by day 40.

I infect everyone (including Madagascar!!!), having no symptoms, and wait. Finally, I buy pulmonary edema and hemorraging. Deaths per day go to 0 to more than 10000000. I win. :-D

I have to say, this game isn't very good. It's not even a game really, it's more of a slot machine. Once you figure out what you have to do it's all just a matter of crossing your fingers and hoping that Madagascar won't dick you over. The only reason I've even been playing this game is so I can teach the damned thing a lesson. This is why simulations will never be as much fun as a well designed game. Games are built around delivering an engaging experience that revolves around the player. Simulators are based on real life, and like real life they're tedious, boring, and mostly based on luck.

God damn you Madagascar D: I had Viral infection in New Zealand, left it alone so I had 150 Evolution points, added Drug resistance IV, all transmission, Kidney Failure, Fatigue, Hypersensitivity, Pulmonary Edema, Hemorrhaging and Fever. It spreads like a dream, and the cure research time just becomes longer and longer :D (Before changing anything on my virus, it had infected the world)
