Oh by the way Madagasgar is not ivinceable all you need to do is work out the main trade routes the island.
Then keep starting new games until your on the island's main trade route :) SIMPLE!

I start with Madagascar, kill all but 1, Madagascar declared lifeless, but put on healthy list because of 1 immune guy, please reprogram this entire game.

best place to start is south africa (2 airports, 2 ports, close to madagascar)
russia, indonesia, usa and canada are ok too.

This is immensely fun and has wasted so much of my life in two days.
But when you have no symptoms, I want to know how on EARTH people start freaking out when its harmless and almost impossible to find. Or the fact it's nearly impossible to get to madagascar.

Mr. Madagasgar President someone in Australia sneezed! Quick sound the alarm, we must close down all schools or there will be children with sore noses!

Overreaction to the Virus, YHTBTR, fair enough. Its godly, but countries shuttind down because of a Harmless outbreak of the sniffles? I dont think so.

ok its easy. take parasite. remove all symptoms, take airborne transmission and some resistances. wait. take waterborne transmission and more resistances. wait. you will be able to infect 99% of the world when they start making vaccine and closing ports. if you r lucky enough to infect madagascar then you've won since there is nothing they can do once they r all infected :P

You mean to tell me that my disease can be carried by rats and insects, but they can't bring it to another country just because the country "closed its borders"? What do they have rat forcefields now? Definitely NOT realistic.

Needs a faster fast forwards.
Seemed to get confused after developing and deploying a vaccine and 'Vaccine did not work as expected'. Took 370 odds days to develop another one, but no pop up and no redeployment.

it is possible to get madagascar. starting in new zealand is extremly effective for getting madagascar quickly. what you need to do is take off all the symtoms, then power up moisture resistance and all of the transmission ways (i.e. water, air, rodent, insect). Once you have done this, upgrade every other protection, primarily heat and drug protection. Madagascar will be one of the last countries infected, but if you are lucky an infected ship will sneak into the port and infect their population. After that, you just get more deadly symptoms and watch the world population die. This works best with parasite, and it will occasionally fail. if madagascar closes, restart and try again.

LOL, i infected every single person without killing a single one. Then i whistled calmly as i selected "heart failure" from the symptoms menu.

Yeah. The whole transmission to Madagascar and other island nations before they lock themselves being sheer luck needs to be fixed. The governments really do overreact to harmless strains. Once one government freaks, a domino effect seems to occur, and, if you don't have the island nations by then (Madagascar), game is over. I really don't want whether I win the game or not to be so entirely dependent upon chance as it is in this game. Otherwise, it would be quite fun.

Yeah, madagascar closing down the only way in when you have no symptoms at all is pretty lame.
Also, how about a tutorial in say, I don't know, text? Or a brief in-game tutorial comprising of maybe 3 total screens? Video tutorial might sound nice in theory but it's horrid in practice.
It was an interesting concept the first time around, but there isn't much more added and the execution isn't as good this time.

So... disease started in New Zealand and Australia somehow dodges the bullet. WTF? Islands should have extremely frequent shipping with nearby mainland?

I finally get Madagascar... but then Peru closes its borders right after. Tauntingly, Madagascar kept its port open that entire round. =(
Also there is a bug. United States got infected after everything was closed. I think a plane flew into its closed airport.
A good game, awesome concept, but very very frustrating. I don't want it easier, so much as I want it to take less time to redo. Faster speeds? Save points?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
im gonna give you guys some hints... 1) you can win with virus the easiest cuz it gets evolution points fastest.
2) upgrade air, water, rat, insect as fast as you can... you need the virus to spred first than to be lethal
3) your supposed to make the virus least visible until you have infected the whole world. (stay especially away from symtoms that kills people!! it causes panic and ports shut down)
4) when the whole world is infected... well.. you can take it from there

Raven, a pretty good way to spread the virus with the minimum noticability is to sell from the beginning all the symptoms, so as not to let the other countries notice you. It will take far more time to infect other countries, but they will notice when it is too late... it may not work though sometimes

No way of finding out which countries have which resistances, the game essentially ends after about five minutes when you can no longer infect new countries, catastrophic events have no apparent impact, game does nothing towards the end. Interesting idea, badly executed.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
also it takes about, oh say 3 hours to deploy the vaccine to the whole world, when it would takes months normally, haha, and can ayone tell me a good way to spread the virus without it being noticed early?
