ItIsDone, there is a speed up option. It's those 3 circles next to the pause button. The first one is normal time, the 2nd makes time go quicker and the 3rd..well..even quicker than the 2nd.

Anyone else wish there was a time leap bar or something where you enter a date, they just skip to it? Something that would make it go faster.

This game isn't strategy at all, cause it's based upon a simple luck (read: random), with out it, it's just hours of stupid randomizing. I always use the maximum speed, because you can't do anything about the closing migration thing. So, it means that you are taking only a little part of the whole process, the remaining part is just an automatic playing. Also, the Realistic mode is even easier then the Relaxed one, cause governments are acting much earlier (because of the higher infection rate), but in total they are the same, so it's kind of useless to make them both... But despite of those minuses, this game is still a fun to play at and it has some potential and interesting ideas (except some variances between the real world and this virtual world, like the closing of the "invisible" airport in Madagascar and in other counties that doesn't have it too, the same goes for the shipyards)...

Total time was 279 days, so 237 days to go from infecting every region to killing everyone, using a strategy that should've had this finish in under 90 days total. Definitely something wrong here with the coding

Also doesn't help when it takes a few days for people to die when progress randomly freezes even while actively in the game, in spite of Lethality being high. A few days pass by with no activity at all, then suddenly, as if lag lets up, deaths start happening rapidly, only to stop again for days. It shouldn't take 120+ days to kill everyone with every single lethal trait active except for Tier 4...
Especially when considering I was finally able to successfully use Nauto98001's strategy and infect every region by day 42, only to watch progress slow down horribly, no deaths for days, and I fail the Impossible Badge yet again thanks to a freeze bug in the game.

Son of a....I missed getting the impossible badge by 1...1 freaking day. You couldn't have died out 24 hours sooner north africa?!?!

The irony fate has placed on me. I started playing this game three years ago. I struggled for weeks but couldn’t infect Madagascar. Today I come back for the first time, and had the luck of getting Madagascar as my starting point. Overjoyed and reasonably skeptical, I came to a realization why it is insanely and stupidly impossibly for anyone to infect Madagascar. I sat there staring at my monitor as Madagascar slowly and slowly became 95% infected BEFORE ANY GOD FORSAKEN SHIP EVEN CAME TO HARBOR. After 60 days, a ship hit harbor and then went on its merry way infecting the rest of the world and it was no more than 10 days, every country in the world was infected. I smiled, threw points into everything leading to death. I waited. I chuckled. I waited, several days passed; I erupted into an uncontrollable mad laughter as the countries became forsaken. The third badge was rewarded for my work. My first attempt at this game after three years prevailed. I thank you, people responsible.

A real issue I've got with this game, however, is the lack of progress of infection even while the days go by, if you don't have Pandemic 2 on top. I start a game, and get set up early, but 10 days later, I still only have 30 infected because I was playing another game. It's fine if the game pauses because you're not actively playing, but to keep running the days, yet freeze progress, that's not reasonable, especially since you have to completely restart the game each time (which includes choosing Realistic, your disease type, and inputting the disease name every single time you have to start a New Game). It's very annoying.

It's rough how Realistic mode is almost entirely luck based, where often times, I can't kill the world just because no ship bothered to dock at Madagascar for 25 days before it shut down shipyards, or Peru closed its borders very quickly, both of those regions being the only ones with only 1 method of entry. Still, I know it's doable cause I've done it before, just not here.

set up a simple disease maybe just a fever sympton with all transmissinos and a few resistances
then leave it for 3-5 mins come back and you'll have loads of evolution points to spend and start
being evil with as most countries are infected. However, unless you start in MADAGASCAR it results
in every nation/continent devoid of life except Madagascar.
This is for MEDIUM BADGE ONLY! Keep this alive, I messed up in the last one!

Only real comment is when the vaccine fails and the world has to start over it still lists it as completed and distributed.

Done in 77 Days, somehow there was this trait that made the virus extra infective, whole world infected in 16 days, happened most likely once in 2000 tries but magically worked..

It took 3 full days for the last <100 people to die. Seriously? That put me up to 101 days, total. And I was lucky enough to start in Madagascar, too. -_-
