Nice scores!! I wouldn't have guessed Nano Virus was so good at being fast, I'll have to give it a try.
Sick..!!! Confirmed - I did a similar run and also noticed leftover DNA bumped up my score. Also still see the naturally intended randomness of how fast total enslavement occurs, as different countries randomly submitt to the worm. I can't believe how obsessively compulsively addicting this game is.
With Nano-Virus you actually get points for evolving Paranoia, and cost for devolving never increases. Therefore with Sympto-Statis you can simply evolve and de-evolve Paranoia perpetually and save up as much DNA as you want from the start. Essentially it becomes the "unlimited DNA" cheat except you get a score.
Slightly better with 106, someone who is really good on the unlimited cheat dna mode could bust a good one with this. Mkesaber mentioned 90 days above on cheat, I assume that was unlimited dna cheat? There's a certain amount of luck to get all the islands infected before they shut down the ports while still killing fast enough to get everyone dead quickly.
By the way, Coma works even better, gives you three DNA for evolving it + 2 for devolving, which means 5 DNA per three touches (touch to evolve, touch to devolve, touch to say yes). To buy everything out of the gate it's 900ish DNA, I usually get 1000 to be safe.
Islands I have evolved a hatred off Greenland and Madagascar, trying to do speed runs and invariably one of these two remain in infected. AAAAArrrrrrggggghh.
I've been using the aquacyte gene to try to help as much as possible but yeah, they are a pain. And then if it's not one of them it's Iceland/Carribbean/New Zealand/Phillipines/New Guinea, etc.
Top insane bolt scores My revised top scores. Bacteria - 176 Virus - 181 Fungus - 195 Parasite - 230 Prion - 241 Nano Virus- 77 !!!! Bio Weapon - 192 Cheat - 82
Its an interesting idea but it is quite complex. Will add to the list but no promises. The trojan planes are already more complex than most people realise - i.e. you can use them to keep increasing infectivity and/or lethality in a target country. Don't worry - I'm aware and on it! That is a crazy long game Good spot - this is a loophole created by the gene combo. Its what I get for trying to be nice to you guys and not make nano-virus too hard. It will be fixed in the next update
Okay I picked up the game yesterday, and I am having a blast. However, I am having a problem. I am trying to best the game with a virus on Normal, but I cannot get Greenland infected. Everybody else in the world gets infected, but the people of Greenland remain healthy. How do I bypass them?
Oh how I would love to bypass them but you can't. Best recommendation, genes aquacyte, cold 1+2, drug 1 and high infective symptoms, with water 1. Don't overspend on transmissions, instead go for infective symptoms, coughing, sneezing, pneumonia, cysts, hyper sense, nausea, vomit, diarrhoea. A good symptom combo is way better than a transmission. Start in china and don't kill to fast, Greenland gets infected from Iceland (mainly) but sometimes Norway/Sweden both of which are cold (hence pneumonia) and rich (hence hyper sense) Post what you evolve in what order and I am sure someone in the forum will advise.
Fast never fail strategy This strategy works 100% of the time, even in brutal mode, and will have you beating Bacteria, Virus, Parasite, Prion, and Nano Virus in less than a year. Genes: ATP Boost, Native Biome, Sympto-Stasis, Base Oxidasation, Urbophile Starting Country: China Evolve order 1. Rodent 1 2. All non-lethal symptoms (see pic below) 3. Seizures, Diarrhoea 4. Drug Resistance 1 & 2 5. Air 1, Water 1 6. Cold 1 , Heat 1 7. Necrosis 8. Air 2, Water 2 9. Cold 2 , Heat 2 10. Insect 1, Blood 1, Livestock 1 11. Wait until all islands infected (dont need to wait for land countries too ) 12. All Remaining Symptoms (starting with Organ Failure, Hemorrhagic Shock, Dysentery) 13. Remaining Transmissions Exception for Nano-Virus: Add Genetic Hardening 1&2 after #4 Works every time!
