    Natural disasters occur in a logarithmic fashion as far as I know, which translates into the fact that they will never have the potency to wipe out the world or even come close to such a thing...

    Hely, I may be barking up the wrong tree here but when you start a game with Necroa, do you have a gene inserted where the Necroa genes would normally be? I had the same issue. I had a non-necroa gene occupying that location so I had to click the cross to remove the gene. I then played through and the genes started to unlock.

    Lol. I was looking in the strings and saw some messages I never had seen.

    "There is a new social network on the scene for people without friends. Blankbook+ is expected to attract billions of people within days_+#"

    "w50.000 border guards are threatening to strike and disrupt traffic in the former DMZ due to 'poor employment prospects'."

    "%s(virus name) has simular symptoms to Swine Flu. Doctors researching the cure are wasting time looking into cures for Swine Flu. Cure will take longer."

    'And a message where the virus is spotted but no other country is reporting it...

    I forgot to say that there was another message where 'the link with Aids/Hiv is rejected'.

    Which country did you choose? Symptoms? Transmissions? Abilities?

    The social network and border guards messages are accessible in any games, i've came across them a couple of times before
    the Swine Flu thing is the message for oink oink acheivement

    But those 'no country reporting' and 'linkage with AIDS' are not seen before...

    I saw the messages in the string files.
    The exact messages are;

    "-|-|Rejects AIDS / HIV^Spore Eruption"

    "%s rejects link between AIDS and HIV_+"

    And I just got the message that says that no other country is reporting the plague.

    Without getting them in a game we don't know the news item level (white ignore) or yellow/red (follow-up action required)

    I was searching the strings file and found gladiator/death match messages, but then realised they relate to the aggression symptom in neurax.

    This is why James said we would not be able to find the solution by sniffing the files - without context anything we find is just another possible dead end. We need an in-game clue to have proper context that it might be NAZG related.

    Necroa Insane Bolt Strategy - with Flare

    Lol Kayg, ok i put together a more complete guide, with flare!

    Saudi Arabia
    Metabolic jump, Suppresion, Dopamine, Mimic, Extreme

    1. Zoo, rat 2, bat 2

    Evolve each item asap to take advantage of increased DNA from red bubbles as new countries get infected, if you’re too slow, you’ll miss out on the DNA increases. If done correctly you should get first death pop-up within 5 months

    2. Water 1, drug 1, cold 2, water 2, heat 1 (can tweak)

    I usually choose roughly the 7-8 month mark to make my move. Cure is irrelevant, following this strategy they never complete the cure. At this point you should have only 3-5 countries uninfected, and 60-70 DNA. This is where you need to really make a decision. Waiting too long, you’ll miss high score, move too fast and you’ll have trouble destroying uninfected countries quickly with zombies.

    If Canada, New Zealand,or especially Greenland are uninfected, you will struggle to beat the top score.

    3. Evolve from insomnia to peptide surge
    4. Infect uninfected countries using Horde

    Now you’ll get some bonus DNA for going zombie, and then go for a while without more DNA until skull bubbles begin. You need to have enough DNA here to send hordes to the uninfected countries. If Greenland or new Zealand, you need to evolve to drifting fermentation. You also want to evolve horde mentality, islands or not, to infect uninfected countries with large amounts of zombies to get them to fall quickly. This part is extremely tweakable given game by game developments.

    5. Evolve lower right side symptoms, I usually go straight to autothysis, and then mix it up between other combat and severity only symptoms. Tweak for best results.

    6. I finish it up by either spamming more hordes or evolving regenerative activation. Tweak for best results.

    Once you master the basic concepts, and tweak for best results, you should easily score 360 or better consistently.

    this is a false theory.

    3 types of man made killing.

    natural disasters: barely do damage and not in necroa virus.
    nuke thru potus: no way to this this with the cure clock and missing symptoms.
    country nuking for fear of zombies: only possible in zombie mode.

    the text messages in the game files do not show anything that suggest we can get the humans to kill each other.

    my theory still stands (see my previous posts) that a sequence needs to be evolved before the cure clock starts ticking that will reduce or stop govt research. that sequence still remains a needle in a haystack to us all.

    Don't you get that message if your plague gets noticed before it spreads to other countries?

    The one with no link with HIV and aids is with the lovable neural worm. After you start putting in mind control they'll say it and then proclaim hats are illegal. After that, they will say that the disease is false or a lie. You have to love the neural worm when you control it.

    Edit: ignore this comment.Had no idea you were talking about NAZG.

    Anyone able to sniff for the victory screen if you won with the NAZG achievement? Or is it encoded?

    There isn't per say a graphic that I can find. There may be a pop-up message but if there is it is encoded, been through the messages file several times.

    Since it only occurs after game win with CR not evolved and zombies=0 then my guess is there is no victory screen.
