no lie, this game is well made and animated for what its there for, but there is prity much no strategy invovled...for instance, madegascar....DUDE ITS IMPOSIBLE....
and a sickness with NO SYMPTOMS will be detected, and everyone will start burning there bodies, and everybody will go on lock down...wich is realy....REALY stupid...yes the game is well animated, and isnt some user created trash, but the game play ....is ....lacking....2/5

I started getting Madagascar, but not Greenland. So I devised the perfect strat.
Parasite: Spawned in Madagascar.
Sold symptom, maxed out all resistances. Got insect/rodent spreading. Don't do anythign till ALL countries are infected. Do whatever you want:)

my disease mutated and became immune to vaccines, but i lost in the end
only cuba, madagascar, and two other countries were clean

This game is horrible. It's possible to create a disease with every transmission method imaginable and no symptoms or visible signs and countries will still lock down their ports. With 0 deaths, 0 observable symptoms. Game involves 0 skill and is 0 fun.

4/5

Hey Diseases,
My name is Madagascar, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are lethal, undetectable viruses who spend every second of your day looking for ways to spread. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any deaths? I mean, I guess it's fun spreading to most of the world because of your low visibility, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than wasting evolution points on increasing your heat, moisture and cold resistance to level 4.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I’m the fourth largest island in the world, and only have one port. What symptoms do you have, other than ‘fatigue’ and ‘sores’? I also get no reports of infections, and have a banging hot port (She just shut down; Shit was SO closed). You are all faggots who should just be vaccinated. Thanks for listening

Fun, but greatly flawed. It seems to be mostly luck based. Ports close in areas where nothing is seen, your disease is found even though it has NO symptoms. There is absolutely no way of getting into an area when everything is closed off. Even though rats and insects are carrying it. Shouldn't they be able to get passed the border patrol? If a ship is lost out at see and all the ports are closed it stays there. And you lose. They cant live on the ocean forever!
It's actually a step down from Pandemic 1, in ways. It was much more balanced. It's fun for a bit but mostly frustrating. I pray it does not get badges with a condition to win the game.
*3/5*

Entertaining, somewhat addictive, overall worth the time spent playing.
There are a number of oddities though, most of which serve no purpose other than to make the game near-unwinnable.
* Regions will panic and start to burn bodies. Even if you haven't made any bodies to bury.
*The ENTIRE WORLD panics even if the disease causes no apparent harm.
* Island nations can render themselves entirely untouchable far too easily.

Few problems I'm seeing...
1. I have no symptoms or deaths and they are closing borders and burning bodies??
2. Madagascar seems to evade me every time.. I've taken everyone else out except there.. guess thats where we "have" to start... (4/5)

Very fun, but the game relies too much on luck. If you start in almost anywhere but Madagascar you have a very low chance of winning. However, I still love it. 4/5.

What most everyone else said... once airports and shipyards start closing down, you might as well start over. Maybe riots could override closed borders and such, but I've never managed to start any riots.
Other than that, there are quite a lot of symptoms that are pretty much the same. Increase lethality, infectivity or visibility. It would be cool if say, getting sneezing+coughing+airborne gave an extra boost in infectivity and similar things. Diarrhea+vomiting would make it even more lethal by both dehydrating victims, etc...

Guys, I don't see why you're complaining so much about the countries freaking out over a disease with no symptoms. It doesn't matter if it has no symptoms, when a country finds out it's water supply has some new bacteria in it they're going to freak out. And when they find out it's spread to other countries it's going to get worse.

Part of my last post got cut off.
traits seems to develop to slowly to be interesting. My current disease has infected 95% of the planet and is half through killing everyone off at 418 days. But only has 2 extra traits -famous and -Immune. Some earlier traits or just more overall would help out with the fun and replayability of this game.

Focus on spreading and raising the resistance, then, when the whole world has been infected, kill'em tiger.
I've started in Madgascar, so it was very easy;

Love this game, however I have some suggestions.
First is make disaster have better effect - currently they really don't seem to do anything. Hurricanes should spread disease across closed borders. other countries should aid disaster stricken ones bring disease.
rats and insects should cross closed borders unless countermeasures have been started in the destination country. They should flee countries with countermeasures in place.
Low visibility diseases seem to be detected too easily. Currently Even if i have a disease with no symptoms at a all, countries will start to react once the infected population reaches 1/3 or higher.
traits seems to develop to slowly to be interesting. My current disease has infected 95% of the planet and is half through killing everyone off at 418 days.
And Finally - more boats to Madagascar!

I have one major issue with this game, and that is that diseases with absolutely no symptoms will still cause panic and close things down. How do these people even realize they've caught a virus?

Great game :)
Just managed to infect whole world with my Amrothia Bacteria ;)

Would be cool to have 'Humanity extinction badge' ;)

Wow I think I'm doing something wrong....
I can beat the first one no sweat, but for some reason this one is giving me problems...
I get all the resistances, air, water, insects, and rodents. Then I get like zero visibility and lethalness, and super high infect.
And then all the countries start freaking out when my desease is like invisible...
Idk I still like this game, I'm gunna figure it out.

Focus on spreading before you start killing. that way every country has it before they notice it. Then start getting killing traits
