We are not looking for traditional kill technique. It has already been semi-confirmed that there is no standard means of solving this. James as alluded to the fact that it is a series of events similar to nuking china (see page 180 post 1792) We need to find the start of that chain of events, and the only unaccounted for odd event we have the the miracle cure one. The notes saying that Scientists worried about x and y (or similar) occurred on the neurax worm and they meant nothing then. The death rate from CR is minimal, and with a small enough population it doesn't really kill anyone. I was just trying to see where things would go if it got noticed and was benign.
Play a few games on Necroa virus, but do not evolve zoonotic and insect transmission. Eventually a random event will occur saying insects feeding on your zombies. At that point and not before evolve zoonotic and insects.
James's quote Where in there did he allude "to the fact that it is a series of events similar to nuking china"? The only definative statements James has made are I believe: - It is probably impossible on brutal Heh, this is possible - i just did it again! Maybe I need to make it easier for you all though... The bit above about adding breadcrumbs
What about a special game where you are on the other side of the petri dish, your the doctor trying to determine the plague type, transmissions and other vectors all while having a budget. Other than random games there is only variations of what has already been made.
I've had a few this evening so maybe I'm not on my normal game but I read this post a few times and brother I have to say I don't know WTF you are talkin about man!
Thanks for the flare, down to 333 days average about 350. I think they mean for the next add-on reverse the roles, instead of playing as the virus, play as the cure against an unknown virus type. Decide what branches of cure to research, analyze the disease DNA to unlock specific attributes and focus research for bigger gains, decide on government actions, shoot birds or rats, supply bottled water etc. Play to save humanity rather than kill it. Transmissions tab could be the gov actions tab. Symptoms could be antibiotics or antivirals designed to prevent / slow effects from symptoms. Abilities could be the analyse tab where you try to find out the attributes of a randomly generated disease profile. Hope that you find patient zero, the pot of gold on the disease profile. I'm sure they will correct me if I have it wrong.
For insane bolt, I can now score 320-330 reliably. Try evolving the hordes to the max. U can stop the clock and infect by the millions. I think sub 300 is a stretch. Only hit the 310's twice. For the new virus, I absolutely love the idea. Screw other disease types, let's play as the cure. Trouble is James is solo. At this rate, we'll be lucky to get 1 more expansion in 2013. James hire a team and get this game really going. Has great potential, if you competed with the likes of angry birds last year, put some more resources in and turn this into a cash cow buddy!
You could start with a set amount of DNA (budget) to spend on research. Based on the number of uninfected people at the end of each month is how much more DNA you get that month for slowing down and finding the parts of the cure. Or earn DNA as we do now to spend on the same things. The basic interface wouldn't change the names would and the effects would be reversed, rather than boast infect, it's reduced infectivity. Government actions slow the spread, analysis tells you where to spend the vital points of DNA. We could decide to add filters to ships/planes and so on. The random disease wouldn't have to be static either, it could mutate. The harder the level to more chance of it mutating in response to what we do. Countries could refuse to contribute to research funding if too highly infected or too restrictive a level of government action. Possible achievements Cure for the common cold Cure for smallpox Cure for HIV/AIDS Cure for Cancer Of course the disease would have to exhibit the symptoms to make these achievements possible Normal victory conditions (Neurax and Necroa aside) are win when infected + healthy = 0 ( or dead = total pop ) For the cure disease, victory if infected = 0 and healthy > 0
Play as the cure? Where's the fun in that? I like killing everyone! You wouldn't buy Call of Duty an play as a medic who sits in a tent full of bandages! More killer diseases I say, alien spores or something!
An alien plague.. Sounds good to me. James should read Bitter Harvest (2nd book of the Season of the harvest trilogy) - and could implement some of the things that happen there in the game
new diseases I have suggested a while back Borg, resistance is (not) futile, turns humans into machines. Triffids, turns humans into mobile plants Sky net, the disease is AI, can it spread far enough and grow strong enough to take over the world. Thoughts on NAZG. A possible lethality boost would be if we exactly match Rabies symptoms with the right transmissions (zoonotic, rat/bat) Rabies is dormant for a while but kills quite quickly once active.
Could anybody tell how some of you are able to achieve scores of 49,000,000? In Game Center you can see those scores.
Necroa Insane Bolt Strategy - Smashed 258 Days!! Here is how to speed demon your way through Necroa. Evolve every item below ASAP, no waiting. Saudi Arabia Metabolic jump, Suppresion, Dopamine, Mimic, Extreme 1. Zoo, rat 2, bat 2 2. Cold 2, drug 1, water 2 3. Evolve from insomnia to anabolic boost + lumbrical hypertrophy 4. Evolve to Naja mortis/autothysis 5. Max the horde abilities and send millions to infect resistant countries (pause game to stop the clock when sending hordes, spam countries daily) Now that's speed hunting!
simple, they cheated by altering game files. to get 12m in neurax takes 5+ hours. so to get 49m is practically impossible to do it legit.
