Oh I was so close from the impossible badge : The world population went down to 1,000,000 after 85 days, but when I checked at the 99th day, there were still 100. Ultimately, I eradicated the humans 6 hours AFTER the 100 days completion. Wow, I was that close!
I followed Natuo98001's comment (the first one), as I started in Greenland, and it went incredibly well: started with sneeze and cold resistance, I followed with heat and moisture resists, and waited until a few other countries were infected. I unlearned sneeze, and wait for the spread. I was surprised to see Madagascar getting caught at the 16-17th day, and my infection went over the globe at the 28th day. Rapidly, I've bought up to tier 3 symptoms, with hemorraphia (dont remember exactly the name), and the killing began. I thought by that fast spreading and deaths, I would have done it. So I'll continue to follow this strat until I come up with the badge. Good luck to those who are still trying!

Well, I read that the president of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, is the youngest head of state in Africa. Perhaps that might be a factor as to why Madagascar is so sensitive to health issues.

to infect madagascar use only sneezing until 4 countrys are infected, then get rid of sneezing and put heat res all the way up

i find that if you start as parasite, get vomiting, because it will spread your disease very rappidly allowing you to get many points, because you evolve slower than a virus. as soon as you have infected about 4 places, sell vomiting and sit back and wait. after that, get vomiting, sores, and tier 2. get your lethality up while keeping your infection rates higher.

President of Madagascar: Ahh, what a beautiful day. Vice President: Sir. I have just received word of a virus that does absolutely nothing at all! No sneezing, no coughing, no wheezing. NOTHING! President Madagascar: Shut... down... everything!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Its not impossible. I have more news!! My instructions above also work using the virus instead of the parasite and you are able to kill everyone way quicker. Impossible badge here I come everyone infected at 25 days in.

After all of the countries, except maybe 1 or 2 are infected, use air transmission. Save water for last if you don't get all of the countries on air. Then once every country is infected, use your points to buy heart failure and brain problems. Got some sweet tips and some mixing and matching.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The best way to get Madagascar is to start off with a parasite. Then what you want to do is make your only symptom fever. After this make the only transmission you have rodents. This is because they are the hardest to notice when you first only start with them. Also when you use rodents, it will take a long time to get countries at first, but they travel on the ships. This means that they will get to Madagascar. After you have waited and spent much time with the rodents, other countries with get infected quickly. Also the only things you should buy to begin with are all of the drug immunities and level one of hot cold and moisture. After you have a lot of countries infected, including Madagascar, buy insect transmission.

I just got screwed over!!!! I finaly got madagascar right. Every country infected and vaccine is on infinity. The world has no chance right? Japan is left with 4 healthy people that somehow didnt get infected. 4 people away from winning!!! Are you kidding me!

One more for a little while I swear. And everything does not start shutting down after 30 days no matter what. It depends on how many people are infected. I tried parasite, usualy i use virus, and many days over 30 passed and nothing closed down because not many peoople were infected yet. But I believe this to be true with the virus cause it is quick to infect.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
But I noticed a lot of times when my visibility is zero things start closing before 30 days. And no matter what madagascar always closes before I can infect it, before or after 30 days.

@harbingerofelves, thanks for the input. I know I looked like a fool ranting and raving the oter day with all those comments.

I hate peru, madagascar and argentina, they were the only, ONLY, countries I was not able to infect. for some reason every country on the planet freaked out over a bunch of fevers. like, wtfh.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
okay so madagascar closes before ive even infected another country and then i infect everywhere else and then in greenland everything is open, even when everyone there is dead, f**k this
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@joshracer2003, and to anyone else, a pretty much automatic shut down starts after 30 days, so if you dont have everywhere infected by then, its too late. having more visability just causes it to happen faster.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
had a boat leave, which i swear was headed for madagascar, and all ports closed and it spent the rest of the game running in circles lol.

I posted below about a modified Nauto strategy that I got work each time. Start only in New Zealand. I always got Madagascar infected. Maybe most boats entering Madagascar call New Zealand home. Either find my comment below or try out Nauto's. Just use New Zealand!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
joshracer2003, i dont know why your luck is running badly, but i folowed Nauto's instructions, and i killed the entire world on relaxed, and all but madagascar on realistic. my advice is, to reapeat what he said, if by day 30 you dont have madagascar infected, restart, and i find that starting in madagascar is a good plan, but you might not infect anyone else, due to the lack of trips to and from there.

Ok I give up. Played it all day. Went to google and followed so many peoples stratagyes and nothing worded. I think its just dumb luck.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
And I just have to say I started with wes europe and followed your instructions and it all went bad after a few days so that one doesnt work.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Someone send me a shout to help me out with this game. I cant even beat it on relaxed. I killed everyone except madagascar. Any help will do.

thank you very much Nauto98001, thanks to your strategy, i have both 9th and 13th place in the hall of fame. all credit goes to you for greenlanditus and madagascaritus!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
LOL named my disease madagascaritus and i started in madagascar, and when i named it greenlanditus, i started in greenland! no joke lol!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ok this is frustrating. Why does Madagascar keep shutting down? I even followed the guy with the number one comment and it still keep happening....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So far it's just ok for me. But it's still early. My first crack at it Madagascar was last uninfected country but then shut down. My visibility was 0 though so I dont know what to do differently just have to keep trying. Only thing is that it takes awhile for anything to happen so it's boring at first.
