As soon as Madagascar closes their ports that's it, game over. This rather grievous discrepancy ruins the whole game. There should be more ways to get into countries if the game is to be winnable, or the governments' shut-downs should be less effective. Sure, this isolation makes the game more realistic, but the point of a game is to be fun. This problem ruins both modes of play, too, not just "realistic".

as far as i can tell Madagascar only has one boat going to and out of it like once every 40'ish days. and by then your disease probably fully infected one country which means if it jumps once then tons of airports and harbors will close.

Yeaitsme, are you Will Smith? lol. But seriously, the only problem with the game is Madagascar. Sometimes Aussie or Japan. Can you make it so that there ar airports or something?

the reason madagascar is never infected is because apparently there is never any boat that goes to or out of there in this game. i dunno if they fudged the programming or just made the chance that a boat goes to or out of madasgar is really really low. it's a serious problem.

Pretty easy with some patience. I waited about 80 days before giving my parasite any symptoms at all, putting 1 point in each resist and transmission, then increasing drug resist. Started with cysts, let it spread everywhere, and dumped everything else into fatal symptoms.
Apparently, spreading to Madagascar is tough if you don't start there. I started in Mexico (on my first win, 3rd game overall). I guess I just got lucky.
Greenland was the last country to have a hospital, and the first to get wiped out. Heh.

This game is good! 5/5. Maybe some pointers so you can make Pandemic 3 better?
1) COuntries should open airports/borders/dockls once the disease has become invisible for some time. Otherwise, there's no way to win the game!
2) Factor in natural death rate and natural birth rate into the world population
3) Parasites should be subgrouped as fungi, helminths (worms) and protozoa (like the one that causes malaria). Prions could be added too for fun.
4) War between countries as an event
5) Transmission via soil contact/ livestock/ STD.

OMG you need a way to get, somehow, into countries that lock out early. "Jump Species" to use birds as carriers or something - as soon as you start jumping countries the damn islands all close down.

My disease is in every single country and they are all red, but I haven't killed a single person and cant get evolution points to upgrade my symptoms, even though pretty much everyone on the planet has the disease.

fun game at first, but when the world goes apeshit over a disease that does nothing, that's not fun. this seems to be almost completely up to luck, regardless of how careful you are. fix that (or at least even up the odds), and this could be a lot of fun.
2/5

OH AND CAN YOU GUYS GO ONTO MY PROFILE THEN READ MY WEREWOLF STORY AND TELL ME ABOUT IT THROUGH A SHOUT. AND DONT BE ALL NICEY NICE. GIVE IT YOUR HONEST OPINION

Not a bad idea (in terms of a game, i mean) and well-implemented. On thing: The disasters should be geographically distributed more realistically (i had floods in Australia while the Middle-east got hurricanes)

Yes well this summer internship was done through my local highschool. You see Folsom High is directly across the street from the FOlsom Intel Campus.
I'm sure if you go to any you have in the area you can apply when you turn 16. kdh.tiger@gmail.com if you wanna email me

hmm why are poeple closing down things if my virus does nothing!
in the other hand if you knew you have a virus called aids i think you would close down all ways of spreading

Everyone in Greenland is dead, yet the hospital there is still researching a cure.
Are polar bears running the damn thing?!
