It takes a while to play this game. Even using a virus, which the game authors state accumulates evolution points the fastest, it takes a while to get anywhere.

The trick to spreading the disease effectively is to focus on it's contagion factors and resistance to elements. After that, once the majority of the world is sick, concentrate on the lethality.

HOW, in 100 days, does Madagascar manage to keep a 20million population from depleting despite most of it's resources (like medicine), coming from other countries... I'm looking too far into this...

Could everyone please stop spamming comments about Madagascar? We understand that it is the safest country in the world.

Why is it so hard to infect Madagascar! I feel like the disease could transfer there through a crashed plane with infected passengers, infected sea animal encounters, bird poo, defective water and air filters, terrorist disease bombs, biological warfare, vaccine sabotage, and a lot of other things. also, the game plays like YOU want to infect the world, and are a character in the game,, and hence you should be able to hop on a plane with diseased snacks and infect places manually.
I do realize it would be hard to program every eventuality, but COME ON, at least do the bird poo from animal migrations!
I'ts a fun and addicting game, though. I like it!

It would be cool if it took the countries time to realize when the virus changes transmission types..
Still a fun time.

Why is it that some countries close their borders, airports, etc. when the disease has no symptoms but Greenland only closes stuff when there is no one left alive?

If you start anywhere outside Madagascar, getting in Madagascar is a problem. If you start in Madagascar, getting out of Madagascar is a problem.

hmm.. people in every single country are dieing slowly without me doing anything... If I don't get noticed is it possibly to win the game without killing a single person?

Soooo... On my 13th attempt this year, and seven years after earning the first three badges I started in New Zealand for the sixth time. Canada was the last place on Earth that Disease Name (I called it "D", "Di" or "Dis" for a while, but that was taking valuable time) had not arrived at. They could see that the virus, which had no visible signs of infection, was taking hold all over the world. Shortly after closing the docks they also closed the airport. The gods whom saught to smite the human race were watching Canada closely. The look of pain on their faces as the airport closed, and then sheer delight as a plane that was already bound for it landed and the news ticker anounced "disease spotted in Canada."

After that the Human race never stood a chance as the symptoms all kicked in. By the 88th day there were no humans on the planet. The gods favourite news report was "Madagascar wiped out by a new hazardous disease," after they had survived seven previous virus outbreaks.

Rodents raise ship infection rate. This makes infecting Madagascar easier. If you start in Madagascar, buy rodents to get OFF the stupid island, and then buy whatever other transmissions you need: insects for Peru for a start. and airborne. The other contries don't react to your current state, they react to the state of the highly infctious country that's making them panic. Because Madagascar only has a port, they'll eventually react by closing all the shipyards...but not airports or borders.
The secret to winning is to start in one of the dead-end countries so that you can leverage these transmissions for as long as possible. Being a paratsite helps here, but you have to be very stingy with your points.
