Ahh, thanks. I've been doing this exact same thing on Brutal. Either Z-Rest popped up or USA is destroyed. I just tried it again on Casual and the entire world was wiped out ._. Oops. Maybe I should evolve less symptoms..
I had a similar problem in version 1.5, it's a bug, on Brutal, it's supposed to cost 5 DNA for the active abilities, I could only use an active ability when I had 5 or more DNA, even though the cost was free, as I had the reduce cost ability.
Longest, slowest, narrowest loss ever incoming. Cant reanimate and couldnt move hordes from neighboring countries even though I had DNA to do so. Had to wait out last 10minutes of game and watch my efforts fall to peices.
When I got that achievement I had segmented genome, genetic hardening and genetic reshuffle 1 and 2, I put 2 on. I went for reshuffle 2 as it says that it adds a new "strain" of the virus, so my reasoning was that the research team wouldn't be able to replicate it as it was new from what they created.
I think that some of my darkwater achievements, and Chernobyl achievements popped up even after the USA and Ukraine had been wiped out. I think this happened but Im not 100% sure.
So did I, must be some balance between how long you wait to go zombie vs having enough DNA to evolve severity (I assume) high enough post the successful analyse pop up. Original posing was 2 billion, edited to 1 billion, I going to retry around 75 DNA / 750 million. I think the idea is to have some of the USA cured. Otherwise you destroy DarkWater.
Egypt failed attempts Ok so I've been working on the Egypt achievements and have so far been unsuccessful. As Darkwater and Chernobyl had two things needed to rigger the initial message I have been trying to see if I could find the two combos for Egypt. Saliva+Blood Cold+Heat Heat+Blood Heat+Drug 1 These have proved unsuccessful for me, they may still be the triggers thugh. Im gonna try the organ transmissions though now.
Haha yeah, happened to me quite a few times, I evolve something, end up unable to reanimate and move hordes and I'm like nooooooo as the last country kills off the last of my zombies slowly.
Got the activation for egypt Heat 1 and Saliva 1 now the fun times of what to do next for those 3 achieves atm i involved cold then went straight to zombie from insomnia, and got mummification, after waiting a min or 2 got a popup saying that the virus may have come from pyramid of giza getting colder achieved, soon as i got the message they think it came from giza I evolved cold 2 and de-evolved heat 1
Ack. I've just tried 3 times, either ended in Z-Rest being successful or USA gets wiped out. Even after getting all the zombie symptoms to the right, the Z-Rest starting message still pops up. So frustrating T_T
Egypt OK Ive got it HEAT 1 + Saliva 1 Pop up: Exploration of secret tomb in Pyramid of Giza continues Archaeologists mark 60 days since the discovery of a secret tomb inside the pyramid of Giza and plan to go deeper into the tomb I then left it a while Banner: Pyramid of Giza hieroglyphs 'warn of ancient plague' I then left it a while and nothing happened so I added blood 1 and I immediately got the Banner: Mummy from pyramid of Giza tomb has 'odd bite marks' Blood may not be needed (EDIT: Blood is not needed, just patience) I then went zombie, the insomnia route, there was a yellow banner Doctors don't know cause of zombie-like behaviour, probably not related I then waited a while and got Pop up: Mummies may have come from Pyramid of Giza Archaeologists say that <disease> may have escaped from a secret tomb inside The Great Pyramid of Giza OK THIS IS A KEY POINT To achieve the "Getting colder" achievement at this point you need to devolve heat 1 and upgrade to cold 1 and 2. This gets you the pop up: <Disease> DNA disproves Giza link DNA tests do not support theory that <Disease> came from The Great Pyramid of Giza. Resources for expedition to investigate tomb denied. (Thanks to Deltasypher for discovering this and telling me) I left it and after a while I got (Actually I may have evolved Zoonitic, insect and rats 1 and 2) (EDIT: I don't believe that these are required following replication, just patience) Pop up: <Disease> DNA supports Gaza link DNA tests support theory that <Disease> came from The Great Pyramid of Giza. Scientific expedition prepares to investigate tomb. OK THIS IS A KEY POINT In order to get the its a trap achievement at this point you need to evolve, the mummification ability, the regeneration ability and the three levels of the autolytic delay ability. Then you need to use the regeneration ability on Egypt. Doing this causes you to get the pop up: Giza Pyramid expedition a failure Giza expedition ambushed and wiped out by a large number of zombies. Pyramid destroyed in defensive air strike. (NOTE: Im not sure if all of these are required, but these definitely work) (Special thanks again go to Deltasypher) I left it and got Pop up: Giza Pyramid expedition successful Giza Pyramid expedition finds hieroglyphs telling of Set destroying Osiris. Team hopeful that this may help defend against zombie attack. OK THIS IS A KEY POINT To achieve the third achievement "Revenge of Osiris" evolve symptoms to at least Cranial Elephantitis. You then get the Pop up: Giza findings cause major military loss Major containment breach whilst testing Giza Pyramid findings. Top general turned into a zombie and military base lost If you leave it you get the pop up: Giza findings help fight zombies Translation of Pyramid of Giza hieroglyphs identify cranial pressure points which paralyse zombies and give a combat advantage. Discovery broadcast globally.
Getting colder (tricking the dna) as I mentioned above i de-evolved heat 1 and evolved heat 2 and it poped up Revenge of Osiris is as you said soon as you get "Pop up: Giza Pyramid expedition successful Giza Pyramid expedition finds hieroglyphs telling of Set destroying Osiris. Team hopeful that this may help defend against zombie attack." I evolved all the way to Bone Dysplasia thus giving "Revenge of Osiris" edit: didnt see your edit lol
Oops I didn't see that bit on the end of yours, thank you, I was piling on loads of blood and genetic abilities. Thank you, so devolve heat 1 and evolve cold 2, thank you. Would you mind if I added that to my guide? I will reference you of course. Any ideas on making the expedition fail? I've tried just blind severity but that doesn't work. Maybe some kind of transmission combo, or maybe the mummification ability? So that zombies "sneak" up on the explorers.
Go for it, been posting on here since yesterday tryin to help out, any of my posts can be used in a guide. While Im waiting for the pop ups trying to think of how to kill them Got It's a trap when this popped DNA tests support theory that <Disease> came from The Great Pyramid of Giza. Scientific expedition prepares to investigate tomb. I went mummification along with Regen activation (all of its abilities) Autolytic Delay(all 3 levels) and then I used that regen ability and spammed it on Egypt till i had no dna left
I unlocked the three achievements, wanted to post them here, and I see you have found it too... That was quick ^^. Now we can all focus on NAZG ! :/ (It's nice to have 52 of 53 achievements )
yeah spending all those dna points and spaming egypt was me rage yelling at the iphone you better die this time die die die Now only if I could send a zombie horde to someones house for making that achievement, going to be lots of rage going
Went from around 80ish DNA 750/800 million infected, to slow down cure added Gene Hard, otherwise too many cured, as it was it was close.
