And he is not beyond fakery - the doctored image of the CDC patient zero message in the link in my post 2492 as confirmed by James (post 2502)
He said there's a hint in the news.. If we could find it maybe we could.. Ahhh screw it! We can't find the solution even with a damn hint!!! :|
I don't know if this already has been said. But I had a yellow message in Necroa that said: "Colony of rabid bats triggers evacuation". It was something like that. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I had evolved :'(. The only thing I know was that I started in Greenland. Maybe a hint for nazg??
As far as I remember. There were 10-15 countries infected. I had these three evolved. Zoonotic Shift, Bat 1 and Drug Resistance 1. I started in Greenland and had these genes: Cytochrome Surge, Aquacyte, Dopamine Inhibitor, Creationist and Hydrophile. Unfortunately, I am not able to repeat it. Maybe that is the 'randomish' part of the achievement. I have no idea how many people were infected. I think about 60.000 - 2.000.000, but I am not sure. Sorry but I don't know. But I can remember that I had a 'white' CDC news flash.
That one's just a Minecraft joke (the lead developer is called "Notch" and is Swedish); I don't think it means anything.
YES, I got the message ''Colony of rabid bats trigger town evacuation'' again. So what I did is this. - Start in Sweden. - Tried to get Zoonotic Shift as fast as possible. - Bought Drug Resistance 1 - Got a 'white' CDC message and then bought Bat 1. - After 30 seconds I bought Blood 1 and got the message. There are 115.000 people infected.
I got this message last night and somehow had the sense to screenshot it and my symptoms. The rabid bat message came up when I had: Played on casual. Started in USA. Evolved Drug 1. Waited until I had a lot (50ish) DNA. Evolve Zootonic, Bird 1, Rat 1, Bird 1 all at once. Devolve Zootonic before exiting to map. Rabid bat message appeared sometime soon (few weeks?) after this. Maybe NAZG + rabies means we should be thinking along the lines of 28 Days Later, when the zombies aren't really dead but infected with rage? (Coincidentally, I usually name my necroa viruses Rage, Fire, or Love) edit: forgot that I'd devolve Zootonic immediately.
I don't think it matters which country - I've had it come up in Greenland, Canada, and China now. I buy these asap: Zoo, Drug 1, Bat 1. Then wait - it seems to come up about 10-20% of the time. If you haven't got it by a million, it's probably not going to happen. Once I got it to show with Saliva 1 instead of Drug 1, so Bat 1 is probably the main element. Haven't needed to use Blood 1. I'm thinking that message is the start trigger and you then have to evolve some sequence of symptoms when you see it. So far been trying variations of Saliva/Hyper Salivation (mostly because of the old "foaming at the mouth" stereotype of rabies) but so far nothing else seems to trigger.
... I got it too but none of the combinations seem to work. Also.. I somehow doubt you have to evolve symptoms when you see it cause evolving makes the cure research skyrocket. I don't know.. Good luck to you guys!
Hey guys. Been following this thread for a while, thought it was finally time to try to contribute. I was researching rabies & came across something called secondary viremia. The article I read said that rabies is an excellent example a virus with this feature. From what I can understand, at the most basic level, it means the virus replicates directly in the bloodstream (i.e. Blood 2) and that it makes it much more effective. I've been noticing for a while that my virus seems to be more effective when I have evolved Blood 2. I could be way off & looking way too deep into this, but maybe it's something. Will keep playing around with this...and researching...
Well, with Saliva one, Zoo and Bat 1, I've gotten the "village evacuated due to bats with rabies" in lot of different contries...earlier, at least. Now I can't get it to work anywhere. Odd. I'm also wondering why segmented genome is even in the game. In the sense that it help mutate the virus faster so you don't have to spend as many points, but a lot of this game has two or three different different uses. Who knows? XD Lotta mysteries to be solved in this game.
The rabid bats message occurs randomly.. Might be the random part of which mr Vaughan was talking about. We don't know for sure but there must be some sort of evolve-devolve chain which could theoretically solve this pain in the ass achievement
Starting in South Africa and getting those three in order, I've been able to get the message pretty much every time I try. I say SA because there's a lot of vampire bats down there, and maybe the actual bloodsucking could mean something?
The thing is that the rabbies virus behaves different in humans than in animals..Hypersalivation seems to be more common in animals. Humans get high fever,hallucinations,delirium and in some cases coma. I'm trying to find something useful in thr transmissions-symptoms but i can hardly pull something out. As fir blood-sucking bats.. I'm pretty sure that in order to get those you have to get past CR
Yea, I know. Going down the right side to coma and up to encephalitis has most of the symptoms of a rabies infection in a human. It's not triggering anything for me though. :v
I have been able to get the message with just Zoo and Bat 1 a number of times now, but still not every time.
Good.. I was hoping for this as rabbies is known to be without cure so we might need drug 1&2 maybe and perhaps even saliva. SG doesen't do anything except making things worse with the virus so i think it's best to avoid it as much as possible
My 10cents Since we know at some point we have to infect everyone, getting this message early maybe the wrong thing to do. The message is probably a hint to NAZG and we probably have to evolve something in response to it, but doing that too early in the game without everyone infected will just result in the cure going skywards rapidly. See if we can get this message late/later in the game.
