Plague Inc. - iPhone Strategy game [Universal]

[durchland]

very frustrating. still cannot unlock any other disease type after winning bacteria on normal. installed it on another iphone 4S now and still no luck.

and yes, i have won the levels and can see the statistics, the 'next' button and so on...

any idea how to troubleshoot this!?

Loving the game, just one suggestion that may have already been made. Since the game displays such large numbers, they'd be much more readable with commas in them.

What a fab game.. taking up way to much of time tho :P Hoping you guys can help me tho.. need a tactic for the Nano.. just cant seem to infect enough people before they finish the damned cure!

Do you mean to tell us you've been joining in with previous boycott festivities without actually having a clue about the reasons behind them?

i'm sure there are better strategies, but here's how i beat fungus on normal

it's going to take a while, so put it on fast forward
1. start in greenland, making the fungus used to cold climate.
2. evolve water 1, 2, air 1, 2
3. evolve heat resistance 1
4. evolve air 1, 2
5. use one spore burst to infect another country
6. anemia will likely mutate, devolve it for 2 points and evolve coughing for better infection. devolve all mutations until there are no healthy countries left, otherwise a cure will start.
7. evolve drug resistance 1
8. evolve heat resistance 2
9. evolve extreme bioaerosol
10. evolve rodent 1, bird 1
11. wait until everyone is infected.
12. evolve anemia, haemophilia, internal haemorrhaging, and hemorragic shock all at once.
13. devolve all transmission traits for dna points including coughing because there is no one left to infect. devolve all heat resistance as well.
14. evolve insomnia & paranoia to slow down cure
15. evolve drug resistance 2, genetic hardening 1, genetic reshuffle 1, genetic hardening 2, genetic reshuffle 2 to further slow down cure

with this strategy, the cure was halted at 85%

i can't imagine playing this game on brutal LOL

Interesting article I just happened to come across on the topic:

Basically sums up my own feelings on the matter.

Feature request!

574,661,802 looks better and is much easier to read than 574661802.

I'd agree. I had both on my device having purchased pandemic at launch. So hey pandemic have got their money from me. But Plague Inc IS a much better iOS game.

And that's why it's not a clone. Wouldn't exist without Pandemic. But its better, and that's a good thing because it forces the Pandemic devs to up their game. Competition = win, cloning = fail.

agreed, although personally i would prefer a graphical bar during play, being able to see the numbers in the world info view.
