One thing that would help, would be that if the three stats (lethality, infectivity, visibility) were listed as numbers, and when looking to select a disease, it listed how it would affect all of them more specifically. This way you could actually see how the different disease types changed the game.

Nothing to say, just take a look at this...

Other things I've learned from Pandemic 2
The instant a country shuts its borders that's it, nothing can get across. Not your infected insects, not rodents, not even the air that's carrying your virus.
Hospitals can continue running and helping to develop a vaccine when the entire population of that country is dead.

I also love it when ships or aeroplanes are sailing/flying and the destination shuts. The just go around in strange circles.

Bizarrely, right now everyone over the world is dying, infected, and Madagascar is the only country not to close shipport border etc.

being able to infect with insecets should make all countries vonerable not just the 1s that aare already infected and insects and rodents cant be stopped from going through boerders so closeing them would not do anything but slow infection

ROTFLMAO, I started in madagascar and *no matter what* disease didn't got OUT of it! All airports, ports, border opens, all resistances all transmission methods, all the population infected but... IT NEVER WENT OUT! Lol this game is totally screwed.

Kinda sucks to start in Madagascar, the only way it can spread is by that one port, so I'd infected everyone in the island before it got anywhere else. On the other hand if you don't start there the disease usually never gets there.

Pretty good game. One problem i have is that my disease has 0 visibility and no noticable symptoms as yet and for some reason countries are shutting ariports/borders and shipyards. Makes it a little frustrating to have a country become inaccessible for no reason.

Here's a nice hint. As soon as you get the evo points, sell your symptoms so you have none. Then work on the resistance and infection. After everyone is infected, BLAST them away with the most awful of symptoms. BWHAHAHAHAHAAA

Cranking Moisture resistance and waterborne transmission does seem to make island jumps. And since Madagascar never closes it's borders that is effective.

vaccines aren't 100% effective and development does adjust when you evolve the disease. I just had a round where they developed the vaccine and it said that it didn't work so they had to use another 500 days to make a new one
