just yesterday I was being to think sub-300 wasn't doable, and now you go and crack it on your first attempt with the smash strategy, lol.
NAZG and Bath time I'm now positive bath time can not aid in NAZG. I evolved it and took a look at its effects. Message : Autophagia, polyphagia, and cannibalism are triggering horrific attacks daily - significantly increasing infectivity and concern over Necroa. Effect: Infectivity +2, severity +0, lethality +0, increase research speed +? significantly increasing infectivity my ass! given that it increases research speed, plus cannibalism is next to ctyo (mutation risk) I don't think it can possibly be useful. I think the sequence we're looking for cannot possibly have cannibalism, delirium or psychosis, because of the cyto mutation risk, as Kayg pointed out previously.
I see those being combined, with "zombie" type of gameplay governing the use of the cyborgs as they are created. That way it can utilize some of the functionality already implemented for Necroa, but tweak it to be a bit different. Also I was thinking this one could be a bio-weapon type approach where the cure starts from the beginning. Another thought I had was mutants, not sure how this one would start, but I'm envisioning the world getting carved up between human and mutant countries, and then horde-type active abilities could be used to wage war between mutants and humans. You could send hordes from your mutant countries, and the humans could respond. Sort of a mini-war game based on the zombie mode from Necroa. I've tried games where I've gotten all three black animal transmissions, the only result seemed to be a significantly sped-up cure.
I just wish that we'd get that hint! And I really hope James doesn't make the NAZG achievement easier, I like a good challenge! Still, I'm thinking there is some sort of combo we must have in order to cause cure research to slow, or some lethality boost... could bats have something to do with it??? Bat II is the only animal transmission that can be lethal, so maybe we can somehow create large swarms of bats that wipe out humanity?
I like a challenge, but right now the plague world needs a hint, preferably a starting point. Not one post about an as yet unknown context pop up message, from any of the posters to this forum. Despite the number of games played we stlll have no idea how to start NAZG. Don't make getting it easier, but at least give us a clue where to look. That's pretty much how I feel, others free to agree/ disagree.
/agreed Another option is make it a challenge see if we get it, if not after time (just around the time are heads are about to explode) add/tell us some breadcrumbs
Someone mentioned somewhere there's a popup involving aids/HIV as a link to the disease, found in the files. And personally I have never seen that anywhere, so it must be in Necroa. Perhaps there's a way to make people think the disease is Aids/HIV and all cure goes towards that, effectively ignoring Necroa (Similar to Swine Flu but on a massive scale?). Based on what we got, what can make Necroa look like Aids/HIV? Pretty sure blood 1 and 2, and urogenital are required transmissions.
The AIDS/HIV thing is present in the Neurax Worm when you start controlling everyone's minds. One of the things that can pop up in a country's status when things really go off the rails is that a country will deny the link between HIV and AIDS, among other funny statuses. Hell, one of them references the country being prepared for zombie attacks. It doesn't mean anything.
Necroa and POTUS sick Hi guys! I'm a new toucharcade member, veteran Plague Inc. player (bought it during version 1.x). I don't know if anyone has come across this yet. I've spent a great deal of time looking through this forum for answers and not found anything relating specifically to this. During an attempt at NAZG I got the "POTUS taken ill" message. Before anyone asks, it was DEFINITELY in a Necroa Virus game. If the fact that the POTUS message came up in Necroa wasn't enough, it popped up WITHOUT any symptoms active!!! I'll say that again. I had NO ACTIVE SYMPTOMS at the time of the POTUS message! I had evolved Insomnia manually then devolved when discovered. When the POTUS message came up I attempted to induce Insanity by substituting it for Delirium, but it didn't work and nothing else came of it. Could this possibly be the "breadcrumb"? It would explain why nothing can be found in the game files (already exists in ALL games) and could possibly result in Nuclear War?! Possibly, instead of "USA threatens Russia/China" we could get "USA threatens the World", or another country retaliates USAs nuke on China? Possibly Korea? Something to do with the current worries over North Korea? Also, we have the messages "Nuclear Attack on (insert country name here)" quite frequently by the looks of things. What if a US nuke on Russia or China causes a chain reaction, resulting in those generic nuke messages to come up MUCH more often? Remember, the messages explicitly suggest that nobody is taking responsibility for the attacks. Think about it! This could be why nothing can be found in the game files! Everything involved already exists independently! Put them together and you have world events that are linked without be explained as being linked in the pop up messages, plus HUGE lethality, which is something missing in Necroa! In this particular game I either started in Iceland or Greenland, I'm not sure. However, I think the key is the manual evolve, being spotted, then devolve. It may also be a requirement to do this at a particular infection milestone. I think I was at about 750m to 1b. I also evolved NO INFECTION TRAITS WHATSOEVER. I also evolved heat1 and cold1, as we'll as genetic hardening, drug 1 & 2 and genetic reshuffle 1 & 2. All of these were evolved before the pop up message of POTUS. Has anyone else encountered this? Please tell me it could be something!
Hi, myself and others have had POTUS ill messages in Necroa, but me personally I haven't been able to reliably repeat it. When I do get it, without instantly (delirium doesn't work for me) I never get Spalin voted in. Without Spalin there can be no threat and without paralysis there can be no nuke. All of this whilst under the cure clock, nuking is generally done in the no cure cheat. If we have a somewhat reliable method of causing the POTUS message we can further test. Can you retry your method and post further details if it seems to be repeatable?
I'll try. It was a very spur-of-the-moment thing. I'm confident the evolve, discover, devolve combo is the key. Also, I'm thinking maybe Phycosis instead of Insanity and Coma instead of Paralysis? Maybe the sequence of events is quicker in Necroa since the cure window is tiny? My POTUS ill message came up at about 5%-10% cure! I'll try to replicate and post more details if I can. If others also try we could find results quicker! Let's get to testing then!
Need achievement help!!! I need help finding out how to achieve the necroa virus achievements! I cannot figure out at least half of them, and have been trying my absolute hardest since the new update was released! Someone please help! I did find somewhat of a list on here somewhere, but 2 of the spoilers (Egypt and Chernobyl) only tell you how to get started on the achievement. Can someone please help and post a full necroa achievement walkthrough? Some of these are extremely confusing and hard to figure out how to get them!

Necroa, POTUS, and Spalin. I've been able to get POTUS semi-reliably and Spalin voted in on occasion with Necroa. Unfortunately even if I get to Spalin I dead-end. Here's how I do it; hopefully y'all can improve on me here, if we think this is worth exploring. Difficulty: Casual Gene Mods: Cytochrome Surge, Native Biome, Genetic Mimetic, Urbophile. 1. Start in the good 'ol US of A. 2. Drug Resistance 1. 3. Insomnia, Fever, Photophobia. 4. Drug Resistance 2. 5. Coma. 6. Sometime around here (occasionally before), I get discovered. I do NOT devolve; instead, I usually get Gene Hardening. 7. Acute Encephalitis, Delirium. 8. Sometimes I get the POTUS message very quickly; 200 mil infected in the US and approximately 15% cure. Sometimes I never get it. If it's taking too long I get worried about the USA falling apart, so I evolve Autophagia. It seems better if you can avoid doing so though; the points are needed elsewhere. 9. Anyway, if you get the POTUS message, and the USA can last long enough, just sit and wait for Spalin. You do NOT need Psychosis. I think just Delirium and enough killing power (Encephalitis). After you get the Spalin message, though, is where I dead-end. USA often falls apart quickly, so I've started trying to devolve Encephalitis. This has kept the USA from going into anarchy, but sadly I'm out of points by this time. Sometimes I've gotten Psychosis added in at this point but don't have enough to evolve into Bird 2 or Cold 2 (per the traditional Nuking scenario), and I've never seen Spalin threaten anyone. Then either the USA falls apart or the cure finishes with me watching in great annoyance.
And while I'm at it, has anyone ever had an issue with the "Unlock" achievements never being granted? I've been playing the game for a while. At some point I realized achievements were added. Now the only achievements I haven't unlocked are NAZG and the various "Unlock X plague by beating Y on Normal or Brutal" achievements. However, no matter how many times I go back and re-beat the original plagues I can't get those achievements to unlock... Is this a problem anyone else has had? Or should I be speaking to the developer(s) about this one?
I have had this happen. On my Kindle version, the only one I didn't have for ages was the simple Evolve Your Disease, that refused to unlock. It's working now with the new patch though.
