Buy rodent transmission ... In less than an hour the world has killed all rodents
Buy insect transmission ... In less than an hour the world has killed all insects
Ummmmm ... what??!!?

I've lost count of the number of times I've played this game - yet I still have never managed to infect a single person in Madagascar. Infuriating.

Scenario 1) Disease Starts in japan. 3 infected. President of Madagascar: "HOLY ****, we found a disease that makes to cough when a rodent bites you! SHUT DOWN ALL THE SCHOOLS, CLOSE THE BORDERS, SCREW THE HOSPITALS, WE DON'T NEED FOOD AND SUPPLIES THROUGH THE DOCKS OR AIRPORTS! HAND OUT BOTTLED WATER, GAS MASKS, ENFORCE CURFEW AND MARTIAL LAW, AND CREMATE THE DEAD... NOW!
Scenario 2) Disease that in one second of infection gives you pulmonary edema then tells you to commit suicide starts in Northern-Eastern Canada and is spreading fast. Civilian: " President, we better close the borders and be careful... that disease ripped through Canada!"
President Of Greenland: " Eh... who cares i'm playing Minecraft."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I KILLED EVERY PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET EXCEPT FOR THOSE
MADAGASCAR INFIDELS!!! ( no offense to Madagascar people)

my ulitmate strategy that infected almost every couuntry is this, pick realistic pick virus then sell all starting symptoms then get airborne then work up resistances and get waterborne and then get all resistances.

Adviser to leader of Greenland: 53 people are alive sir.
Leader: Just close transit down, that will stop the disease.

Some suggestions for this:
-Countries need to OPEN their borders again if your disease goes into hiding, or recession, or something. It needs to be something other than "Oh, a random event triggered, I lose." There needs to be a way to get around it. Whether it be through just lowering visibility, or having a dormancy option, or something. Alternatively, there needs to be a way to spread into countries with closed borders (why doesn't having airborne or waterborne transmission do that already?)
-Zero infectivity needs to result in your disease dying out. Zero visibility should guarantee that you will spread everywhere without having borders closed (as it should be impossible to get zero visibility, due to the above issue of your disease dying out). Clearly, some numbers need to be tweaked behind the scenes.

The balance needs to be shifted so that the goal is to balance infectivity with visibility - there needs to be a reason to increase infectivity (your disease needs to just die out if it's at zero). Similarly, there needs to be a reason to keep visibility low - it should actually help you spread everywhere, instead of it just being a complete crapshoot. Until those issues are fixed to actually add useful decision-making to the game, this isn't even a game - it's just a probability simulator (I wonder if the 'spread to region' probability will hit before the 'close borders' probability hits this time! Woo).

Alright, so some other points about this game: Firstly, you should be able to scroll by dragging on the main screen. There's absolutely no reason for that not to exist other than laziness.
More importantly, however, it's quite clear this game was not playtested enough, if at all. It's completely luck, and what strategy exists only exists to try to mitigate that fact. Infection is WAY too easy - once your virus hits any given region that region is doomed, even if your infectivity is literally zero. Similarly, it is WAY too easy to just be completely locked out of a region - even if your visibility is literally zero, 90% of the time at least one region will close its borders in time and that's it. This takes all possible strategy out of the game, since visibility instantly ruins you and infectivity isn't needed.

Alright, this game is pretty amusing, but is it seriously necessary to tell me to go read the tutorial every time I start a new game? Yes, thank you, I get it. Put in a one-time check for that stuff, it's not hard. It's annoying and it's just bad, lazy programming. 3/5 just for that, because you can do better.

F**k you world, Sure half of ya' are infected, but not a single one is dead. Well... might as well start the death toll. DIE B*TCHES DIE!
