Yeah, the symptoms are specifically stated. I always got it early on when I had those three symptoms, so I'm not sure if it can only be done before zombies, but you could try just evolving those three as early as you can and just wait for it to pop-up?
Thanks, I'll give it a shot without zombies. I think I evolved zombies every single time I tried... :S Regarding the DarkWater origin, I'm starting to get quite convinced that it is indeed the UK and the inspiration is V for Vendetta. I've just watched the film all over again and the film's theme similarity to the necroa virus is just uncanny. There are three areas the virus strikes, St. Mary's, Dark Hill and Three Waters. I think that "DarkWater" (note the weird capitalization) is a reference to Dark Hill and Three Waters. :edit: The name was apparently Larkhill, not Darkhill. FML back to the drawing board... -_-
Probable update for Chernobyl series: Started at Ukraine Then cure reached 100%. Then evolved Cytopathic Reanimation (At this point I had, Air 1, Water 1, Delirium, Psychosis, Insomnia, Autophagia, Canibalism, Gastroenteritis, Polyphagia & Hyper Salivation. I bolded the ones that I think could be relevant). Then I immediately got three messages in a row. Burglar didnt notice being shot (yellow message) Mother reunited with dead son (yellow message) <<Virus name>> could be miracle cure (red! message) Then I got Man assaults fellow passengers on plane (yellow message) Mother of dead son missing (yellow message) Ukraine approves Scorched Earth tactics (yellow message) Ukraine authorizes Shoot on Sight protocol (yellow message) Paper claims police are being overwhelmed (yellow message)
Got some Chernobyl messages right off the bat referencing animal attack after picking the zoonotic shift ability. Trying to replicate. Edit: replicated with saliva 1 also added. Lets see where it goes. Update: have gotten the military sent to Chernobyl to one dotage rabid animal attacks and then nothing after that till game over.
I've gotten two separate darkwater popups both starting in USA. First one said "darkwater concerned about missing geneticist." Then something about a global manhunt. Then a few minutes later I got "security base shut down due to breach" but ever since the hot fix I can't seem to replicate that, and all the for fun games I play I start in USA
I know how to trigger Darkwater : Start in USA Saliva 1 and Drug 1 You get a Pop-up Saliva 2 and water (No pop-up but 2 red messages in news) Get zombies, but I fail after that :/
Could DarkWater be a reference to Blackwater USA? I was sort of assuming that it was, I just hadn't tried anything in USA yet.
Please advise which Genes used? How long after getting saliva 1 and drug 1 before pop up. Disease noticed before pop up?. What else evolved, random or deliberate I have started in USA, saliva 1 and drug 1 and infected every country with 5 billion infected - no pop up.
You are definitely onto something. I don't think that you need water though - I got the news thing about the containment breach straight after adding drug 2, and a third message after that. EDIT: Actually, I just got the second and third messages without even adding drug 2 - just drug 1 and then saliva 1 For those who want to know, this is before your virus is dicsovered. You should get it pretty much straight away after adding drug 1 and saliva 1. I don't think initial genes should matter probably? (I don't want to check what I've got and lose my progress right now). First message: DarkWater, a private military contractor, expands the global manhunt for their missing geneticist by announcing a reward of $10m for information leading to their recovery. Second message after drug 2 (news item) DarkWater denies containment breach in weapons facility Third message a couple of weeks later (news item) DarkWater weapons facility shut down over security fears
Someone told me dopamine inhibitor was needed so that when you get zombies they admit the breach. But each time I get zombies I destroy the world but nothing happens related to Darkwater. And each time I tried on casual difficulty nothing happened :/ For Chernobyl, I started in Ukraine, get zoonotic shift, popup "animal attack", bat, another message, bird, they send troops to Chernobyl. I don't know what to do exactly, but we are now sure it's related to animals. I tried to start in Egypt a couple of time, but I don't know how to trigger the event...
Casual. Got it a few times now. For info, although I don't think it matters, I've also got the bubble popper, native, dopamine, cure and rural as the genes. No idea what to do next after those messages though. Tried adding delerium and psychosis and all the ones leading up to them from the left but that didn't work.
OK I take it back, maybe the genes do matter, I'm not getting the animal popup. Could someone tell me what they were using for this please?
I finally get the new popup. After they close their facilities I went straight on zombies without being discovered. I get a few yellow messages (attached image) and then their was the new message saying something like "Darkwater admits to have created *name*, they gonna work on it." But their was a lot of Z bases created around the world and I was defeated. We are getting closer !!!
Ah, I was wondering about whether that anti-social behaviour thing would be useful for something. You get it when you have an unnoticed virus, zombies, but not that symptom below zombies (the lactic acid in the brain one). I kept messing around with this in Egypt but it never led anywhere on its own.
Omfg This new addition to the plagues has me addicted all over again! Jesus Ndemic, you really outdid yourselves! As for the added achievements, time to start hunting again!!!
Still nada, tried casual and normal level, drug 1 then saliva 1, the reverse saliva 1 first. Nothing. Please can someone who consistently gets these messages detail exactly what they are doing, genes, level, start, order of evolve, other events.
