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

The game is fun, but you can add some new features to do it far more interesting & versatile (a complete shutdown doesn't prevent a 100% infections, changing a trait of the infection forces a little redessing of the vaccine, bad vaccine batches, longer time until vaccine deployment, less than 100% efectivity of vaccine...)

@ptdgames if you can't suspend your disbelief then why play games, to address your mirror and boring bit of over sight let me give a plausable situation. The areas that are devoid of life yet have open airports, etc had those that knew how to close them die before they could, and for the lone ship sailing the seas in a dead world have you ever heard of a ghost ship (a ship who's crew either abandoned it or in this case DIED before making port), If you keep these in mind you might be able to accept any future "paradoxes" and just enjoy the game.
Sorry to everyone else, but I just bugs be when you get someone b***** about realism in these escapes from reality.

@ptdgames:
Just because everybody is dead, doesn't mean ships can't float. And even if it does, does something so minor really warrant the game getting less than one star?
Methinks someone may be jealous.
Also, 5/5.

dificult a good game, but if we can see the countries infected in the minimap will be better!!!

I'm finding that ramping up the water resistance to max when South Africa's infected caused the disease to cross the strait into Madagascar when their shipyard was closed. Might want to give that a try, but there's no need to go beyond 1 for Cold/Heat Resistance.

the first place I killed was the Middle East (Take THAT Al Queda!) and the only place that went uninfected was the U.S. Coincidence? I think not!

humanity overcome
mankind's numbers have declined. your disease has managed to exterminate humans off the face of the Earth.
