    It does not look like a valid strategy... POTUS getting sick is very random, it could potentially never hapen be the cure reaches 100%.

    Also, let's say that you do get China nuked. What about the remaining 57 countries that are researching at full speed?

    I can see why it would appear as a good idea in theory, but it is not going to be effective.

    Even under best circumstances still seems like ~3 billion dead is about the limit. We must be missing something, gents

    It was only a thought as I've gotten it twice, and it was something that could of possibly been done along side other strategies to deal with the one country. Never said to just that alone would win the whole damn game.

    Confirm Chernobyl research this trigger

    Just have any animal at level 2

    Drug, gene hard, psychosis et al NOT required, optional but the trigger is an animal at level 2

    Just purchased the game yesterday, immediately crashes after opening. My iphone 4 is not jailbroken, not full, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, redownloaded the app and still nothing.

    I was thinking... What if Bath Time has an effect on NAZG. It's the only Necroa event that can trigger prior to CR.

    I thought it was an infectivity-related event but it is possible that it has hidden properties.

    So... I have beaten the game on brutal, I have both special plagues, but not the cheats. Did I miss something?

    You have to beat the original 7 and both the specials on brutal (total of 9 brutal wins) to get the cheats

    Each disease icon will have a number of small stripes in the upper right corner, confirm that you have 3 stripes for each of the 9 diseases.

    NAZG achievement

    Well, I will stop trying to get the NAZG achievement now because it is frustrating that I can't get it. I've tried it 30+ times now!

    How have you tried to get it? Any message, partial hints that popped up?

    I too have attempted to get this 10's of times. Several times I have seen a banner message about game developer vowing never to add zombies to the game. This message seems to have no effect on outcome however.

    My best effort has produced 5B infected with 1B dead at 100% cure. I seem to have the best luck starting in Germany or France and adding Med1, gene hard, cold1, and heat. Then waiting for first symptom at 3.5 infected. Various symptom and transmission tree combinations off of that start have not achieved a victory.

    Any new suggestions from the experts on this board? I have been consistently amazed at how quickly this team has worked together to gain the achievements.

    Nothing special. Just "scientists concerned about (plague name)."
    "(Plague name) placed on RMS Watchlist" and one that could be usefull: "Paranoia in Brazil"
    I usually started in UK and added Heat1 and Cold1, and Drug1.
    Sorry for my bad english..

    NAZG is still an elusive mystery to all of us. We have found various interesting strategies that could theoretically work but the best consistent and repeatable high score we can get is 3.1B +/-0.2B dead.


    You mentioned that banner message that appears to do nothing. So far, It has been established that white banner messages are more or less jokes. The only banner messages that are relevant to gameplay and the red and the yellow ones. If that message is somehow linked to NAZG, it would be the first time a white message has any function.

    There are two paranoia-related banners. One mentions that reasearch is ceased completely and the other mentions that research is sped up.

    At the moment, they both seem completely random. If a pattern is identified, we could potentially have a NAZG solution in our hands.

    Glad it works for you. 1.5.2 would have solved this as well ;)
