But if you evolve too many symptoms everyone locks down. Airports closed,ports closed... I've even started researching the internet in order to see which country is the most exposed one to disease/anarchy and things like that. I know for sure that Sudan is a country where you can find some of the rarest diseases in the world,some unknown to modern medicine.
already had 100% infection at that point. lockdowns didnt matter. had countries go into paranoia, breakdown, and 10 go into anarchy before 100% cure. and even if you evolve a few symptoms before 100% infection, they'll lock down anyways. the govt action train once it starts is unstoppable. we need a specific combo or sequence the moment the virus gets noticed that will slow or stop govt actions before it even starts.
the hint wont come for a while. i have tried almost everything, a few hundred failed attempts. origin starts, combining pills, animals, heat/cold, symptoms, transmissions, racing, evolving almost everything. finding the right sequence is a needle in a haystack. i have given up. i pointed out what i discovered, so that anyone wishes to continue will at least not go on a path that has proven failure. good luck!
I've raised the question :"Is NAZG even possible?" James said he achieved it multiple times so there must be some starting point. Like a specific country or smth like that. He also pointed that making the world nuke itself was the closest thing we ever came up with
I'm still a Plague Inc beginner so can someone explain the discussion going on over the last few pages? Tried to follow it but got completely lost. ---------- Anyone have definite answers? For both cure questions and seasons/holidays questions?
I did see a prior post on the cure - i though that answered it As for the other question - none of us is privy to the code, so to be honest how can we definitively answer code execution questions.
Nice one ! My biggest score (without the nano-virus loop) is 180.000 with Neurax. I dont know how, but a friend got over 400.000 on fungus with normal difficulty ! He had 0% cure, maybe a bug ^^
Beat my latest Necroa by about 40,000, will try a speed. My biggest score with Neurax is 9.6 million after 28,000 days. Got bored. I know there is higher, 12 something million I recall. All legal.
Missed that answer, thanks for pointing it out About the other question: just be playing in general. I haven't played much and I'd like to know this stuff so I can plan my disease better. Does it seem like there are more planes and ships during those time periods (summer/holidays)? Or that more people get infected during winter? I wouldn't think you'd have to see the game's code to see stuff like that but I could be mistaken. Thanks
I guess what I mean to say is the only one who could provide a definative answer is James. I've seen the planes/boats come/go never really considered why.
Whats your top score in Necroa kayg? FYI Peru is the best starting country to play the patience game for scoring DNA. i scored 18.5 million in nanovirus, with the loophole ofcourse, it was legal at the time! now an overall top score can only be legally done in neurax but i definitely don't have the patience for it, stopped at 1.5 million. personally i always enjoyed insane bolt runs than top scores. first they take minutes rather than hours. second, top scores will always be made by those who have the most patience to collect DNA. however insane bolt runs require skill to claim the title!
My best to date is 504,290, not far away, Bolivia. I'm out of practice with speed, but Necroa is a different method anyway. The Neurax top score is still possible, but takes a long long time, I just got bored. Now if I had two devices I could top score on one and general/ speed play on the other. Hmmm food for thought.
screw the top score, its artificial. once you figure out 100% infection there is no more strategy. same can be done for any level, except bio and nano. its time not strategy, whoever spends the most time collecting DNA wins. now speed, that's where strategy takes place! 350 is tops for necroa right now, let's see who can beat it!
9.6M ? U just infect 100% lessening severity and then you wait for DNA and enslave the world ? Or you also have to get over symptoms for points ?
Full discussion is way back in the forum. As per Mkesaber, score is influenced by order of priority 1. difficulty level - brutal, obviously 2. cure amount - use gene hard, plus shuffles to keep this to <= 1% 3. disease complexity - spend lots of DNA on symptoms and abilities then transmission if you want. 4. leftover DNA - here is where I got bored. Gene mimic, CS DNA boost, sympto statis, lots and lots of patience, don't over spend on infectivity, just hide (lessen severity) and do it slowly, via abilities. 100% infectivity continue to hide and collect DNA until bored. Then evolve every symptom bar obsession and enslave. Wait for people to start dying, then enslave, apply hardening and shuffles as DNA allows. If you enslave straight away without killing score is about half.
once you lessen severity, get 100% infection, you then wait for hours collecting DNA, and then evolve every symptom (cant remember if it was all or just nonlethal), every transmission, every ability, and world enslave in 1 move. plus you need tons of leftover DNA too skyrocket your score. that score probably took 5 hours of game time.
This is sensible BTW - I'm travelling now for the CDC and GDC in the US so I won't be around on here much. If anyone else is at GDC - come and say hi - I'm doing a talk on Plague Inc. on tuesday 26th
Glad you find it that way. Anyway i wish you the best of luck,i'm pretty sure you'll do great. Have a safe trip.
