Im not really seeing how you guys wait along so much. I took off everything i had and after about an hour of waiting i came back to see how many points i had and about half the countries closed everything up. I was not spreading my disease and everything was gone (e.g vomiting symptoms) and i had 0% visibility. Can someone tell me how you guys wait a whole day without being detected???

Yes, it's fun to have an invisible parasite being spotted so fast. And also a 15-20% deadly virus without a single casualty after 80 days.
And yes, the Magascar problem makes it a matter of luck and that sucks.

Here's my idea for fixing the "no symptoms but they still closed down" issue.
Simply make it so your disease ALWAYS has at least ONE symptom. This would make it more realistic, as at the very least your disease would be slightly visible, and it would make sense when billions of people are coming down with an unknown disease for all the borders to shut down.
This would probably save the game balance without actually changing much of the gameplay.

Well, this game kinda sucks. I can't see why it's rated so highly.Very slow and boring.
I kinda like the concept, but the strategy involved in wiping out the whole planet revolves around being lucky enough to infect Madagascar before it's inaccesible.
Basically you have to create a disease with no symptoms that spreads fairly slowly.
Boring. 2/5.

The perfect border control is crap. Like i can disinfect every bug that crosses. also if the disease doesn't have any symptoms no one will know about it so how can everyone start freaking if you didn't know if yo had it? That should be a definite update along with the madagascar situation.

gandhiG - People are and were scared of anthrax because it has symptoms and results that are already known! This disease should not even be seen as a disease until it has symptoms! Why would they be testing people for anything that ISN'T effecting anyone?

fooools shutting down ure airports means NOTHING!! mwahahahahahah!
lol anyhoo my point go up well slow despite me infecting everywhere!

Out reach brings up the best point. How can borders be that secure? As we see in the US if someone wants to sneak in, they can - in a pandemic you know that would be happening, plus the brids and insects could not be controls en masse! 3/5

I managed to contamine madagascar by picking the "virus", letting all the "stats" (infect, visibility, etc..) at 0 and having all the transmitions on.

"it doesn’t make sense that countries start shutting down when there’s not a single symptom of the disease…how can it be spotted and causing chaos?"
Because people are scared. Remember the anthrax scares? People were paranoid as hell.

Let me be clear about this: Mutations should speed up as you infect new people. Borders aren't impervious to penetration. This game as well executed and a great idea, but the gameplay of it SUCKS because of these corners you get boxed into. SUCKS!

A painfull game. The origional was so much better. So many bugs like madagacar beings semi imposible to infect, border controls being perfect to man and animal, not to mention the terrible variation in evolution point speed going from very fast to very slow. I've never managed to complete the game even with a loss, It just takes to long for anything to happen even on the fastest speed once you run out of evolution points.

Madagascar, you will bow to me!
XD ok, I've played this too much. Either they need to update it to 2.1 or make a 3rd that's even more realistic.

It really is hard to get Madagascar...
Plus, reading the numbers is really hard.They need to put commas.
Also, when you sell all of your symptomes how come people see it?Thats unrealistic.

that would be cool if instead of showing the whole region being infected it shows witch parts are infected like a cloud, same with the cure deployment...

If you have the time, just leave all the symptoms off and run it for an hour or so :P. Then you can use 100+ dna points to attack all over.
It's not really cheating, that's what aids did. Moved around and got a bunch of people then started killing.

I don't know about the rest of you but by the time the cure come out I infected all the people I could possible could. I wish that counties that have 100% people infected would try and break into another countries for that cure. Causing the infection to spread due to riot over the cure so none is used until it too late.

I was playing this with the guys over at penny-arcades forums.
You will NOT get madagascar unless they updated the game...which I doubt.
You have to START in madagascar to take madagascar.

Only one complaint.
PLEASE TO BE PUTTING IN FASTER FAST FORWARD BUTTON.
Waiting an hour or more in reality for the game to end is dull.
