1.) Pick Virus. 2) Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, West Europe, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3) Sell the starting symptoms, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4) Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5) Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6) Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7) Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8) After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9) Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. 10) keep this comment alive Thanks for the comment! I got 13th of all time by using this method.

One of the worst made games on this site. This games "realistic" mode is anything but. A virus with no forms of transmission will NOT infect new hosts! A government will NOT shut down their shipyards due to a virus they don't even know EXISTS!! There are no bodies to BURN if no one is DEAD. These kinds of logical failures are unheard of in the real world, so why should they exist in a game while playing in its "REALISTIC" mode? It makes no sense. I don't understand why this game got such high ratings. It is terrible in every sense of the word.

hahaha! When a country taked off planes and ships, and all regions closed all their yards and airports,the planes and ships has nowhere to go.

Just got the Impossible Badge! Nauto98001's Strategy Guide worked great for me! On Day 25 all countries were infected, on Day 67 all people were infected, and on the 26th of October 2008 Mankind was wiped of the planet. Just try starting at Cuba or New Zealand; if you start on Madagascar, spreading will take way to long.

great game, but I had no symptoms, my visibility was zero, and they shut down everything. What makes a person think they have a disease if it's unkown, they can't feel it, see it, or basically even know of its existence?

I certainly advise people to read Nauto98001's comment which helped me alot. Although I recommend to restart until you get Madagascar as your first country. Let's just say; The president of Madagascar is paranoid, got a bad case of bacteria angsiety and is just very scared of anything that makes you sneeze...

I really wish that in pandemic 3, you would make the following 2 changes: - The ability to restart a level from the level-menue with the same settings you chose, not having to click through all those windows again and again (When going for the impossible-badge, there was no reason to continue with any other starting point than Madagascar) and - More realistic ship-routes as they seem pretty random. Sometimes they even just went forth and back several times. That makes it even less possible to succeed with any starting starting point other than Madagascar. Other than that, i like the game. 4/5

i just got owned by the game... Greenland actually gave a care that people were infected, but Madagascar didn't care as much as normal...
