Think someone tried this towards the start of the nazg attempts if there is anything it'll probaly be too vague until its done so trying to find it would be near impossible or pure luck. Not trying to put you off just saw that before and think it was aboandoned. When the update out its soon isn't it?
You're probably all correct. I think we're all just swinging at smoke. We all have these fantastic theories that turn up nil and it's quite maddening when they do. I despise saying I give up, but I can no longer see or think of a game mechanic other than pure randomness, which is of course, not impossible but damned improbable, with all the choices given to us. If we write out the list of things we do know, maybe that could help one of us see what others can't. James did mention it was random-ish, would be impossible on brutal and that we would not know we are on the right path until all was done correctly. One thing that is noteworthy is the impossible on brutal. Could mean that SPEED is a key due to the fact that infection is slowed on brutal. Man, I'm just out of ideas.
I know the feeling might take the time to find all failed stratagies and put them in one post from least likely to maybe possibles with work might be a day or so till I get time tho
He said he was going to rebalance it, so let's just leave it at rest and start developing ways to complete levels as fast as possible. Go onto Google and type in 'Plague Inc 1.6 update' to see a news article about it. It also said it updates in August, which is fine by me even though he said hopefully July-ish. This is going to be a wonderful B-Day gift. Thanks James.
I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get the red plague inc world map style picture for a desktop background? I know its not really a question for here but thought id ask after watchng the plague inc trailer as the bit at the start looked like it would make for an awesome background.
I got this app last year and never bothered playing it :/ BUT, I just started focusing on it since 2 days ago. Enjoying it ATM done bacteria on casual, then normal. Having trouble with virus on normal but will try again. Will play this further, I still haven't purchased any packs (neuro worm & necro virus) as I've not played much yet... But I sure will do! Just not yet
WAIT, FINALLY A HINT! One interpretation is this means the mechanic does involve doctors, meaning we should look at incapacitating/misleading doctors. Greenland being evil may be a coincidence. Another interpretation is that he was play testing the new version with the new CDC, and a doctor discovered patient zero. This would mean that James chooses to/needs to start in Greenland to get the achievement. Another interpretation is that since James was always very careful about not giving hints, and still otherwise refuses to give them, this hint is useless. I find the super mutation strategy to be very effective for virus, if not a little random. It is where you get all 3 viral instability abilities right at the start, which ends up getting lots of symptoms to increase effectiveness. This lets you spend everything on transmissions. With a little luck, this strategy demolishes the world. Symptoms do need some babysitting (avoid high lethality early on, help the lethality later on, etc.), and you do have to sort of play by ear, but when done right there is no time for a cure.
This could be a hint indeedo not get caught! He said he failed to get it because an annoying doctor bla bla..The only thing that occurs to me is the message "a doctor found a new disease which has been named X" So it might not be something important after all.. I doubt the location is a key factor in order to get this achievement.
Ok.. Let's just say for the sake of the conversation that Greenland is a key factor. It's obvious that you must not be discovered. How do you do that? Sooner or later you'll get a mutation. Also.. What transmission vectors should we use? Rar 2&Bird 2 could mean something since i can't think of any achievement involving them. Also insect os the only one which doesen't make people notice it... Blood maybe? Maybe saliva? I don't know..
The only way I have achieved Necroa casual 100% inflection without being noticed is to use base oxide, drug 1, GH, GRS1 & 2 and force transmission mutations. By saving periodically and losing then reloading if you get a symptom it is possible to get 100% infect without being noticed. Obviously one can simply devolve mutations but that's very costly in DNA points.
I'll have to try this. I haven't been able to beat this with Necro or even Bacteria on Casual. Its so frustrating and yet I want to like playing it...
I know you guys are probably sick of hearing about it by now, but I found something that may aid NAZG. I've found, consistently, that if you evolve up to fever, then devolve insomnia, the "scientists concerned" message takes significantly longer to pop up after it is discovered. Whether this means the analysis takes longer to complete, or that particular configuration staves off the regenerative properties somehow, I can't really say.
Wow, you must play this game a lot to notice the delayed messege I've only just started playing Plague full-on. Done bacteria & virus on normal. Next up is fungus on casual... Then try normal. Love it so far!
Yeah, I suppose I do. I noticed it while trying to disguise the necroa virus as malaria (because with malaria, the tiredness comes after brain damage, not early on, so it made sense to devolve insomnia). That tactic didn't work, but I did notice the discrepancy with the popup, and was able to replicate it.
Doing a disease on casual gets you one stripe on the right corner of that disease icon on the select screen. Doing a disease on normal gets you 2 stripes (even if you haven't done casual). Doing it on brutal gets you 3 stripes even if you haven't done normal / casual. To unlock the extra diseases (Necroa/Neurax) and the 3 cheat diseases for free you need to beat the original 7 on Brutal. Normal unlocks the next original disease type, but brutal is required to avoid paying for extras. Youtube search plague inc brutal <disease type> 1.5 and do the original 7 diseases on brutal immediately without bothering to do casual/normal. This will get you to Necroa/Neurax quicker. You can then go back and play casual for speed (insane bolt challenge and speed runs are in the next update)
I've already played a few games on casual. Bacteria & virus. (Earned 2 bars for both) shall I reset my save state & follow the above?
You can still unlock for free by beating brutal at any point even after playing on casual/normal it just has to be done on brutal at some point to unlock I did normal first and I unlocked cheats and neurax/necroa after brutal. If you play casual its one stripe if you then do normal it'll be two and brutal you'll get 3 its just the highest difficulty that you have beaten it at that stays
