I thought this game was pretty cool. A little reading too after you are done:

I couldn't infect the Western Europeans, but everyone else well let's just say their sleeping with the fishes. :evil:

Can you do anything besides select upgrades?
My mistake was making it too lethal before spreading.
Best is 505,000

You can unselect the things but you have to have the points to do so.
Interesting...Western Europe takes forever to infect...

The trick is to have it start in Central Europe.
-edit- scratch that. It did absolutely nothing for me the second time.

I couldn't infect them at all
You can't start anywhere.
The trick is to get it infectious before lethal. Then crank up the lethality. I was killing 100k people a day at the end. "The end of mankind is near" :whip:

Ah, I got it.
Death toll: 584999
percent killed: 100
percent saved: 0
Points earned: 219
Points spent: 159
Final score: 6500
I got body fluids, and water and then turned off all of the lethality things except for coughing and sneezing. I then turned all the other transmission factor on and waited till everyone was infected and then bought all the lethality factors.

Well Done.

The key for ME is.
Step 1:Allow virus to spread locally, an accumulate points so you can boost up the second column of options. It increases the ability for the virus to spread, since it resists heat, water, and is airborne, waterbourne, etc. Keeps the ability to see it low, while increasing lethality.
Step 2:Allow viurs to spread to all continents, and then send the deadly but obvious signs to the limit. It boosts your lethality, and while you can see it more easily, it's now to late.
The obvious problem is that you have to be able to accurate hit the benchmarks so it will produce maximum kills while still able to spread.

37 people left alive on day 100 all dead soon after.
5680 points.
I just jumped the infectivity, waited until I had every single person in the world infected, then sent the deadliness from 2 to 22.
Woohoo...er...
Oh, and I started in Western Europe.

I killed everybody in North America - not bad for one days work really. Could have been better, I'm not especially good at this game really.

Killed everyone... 6648 points... did so by getting rid of every lethality thingy - had a lethality of -1 at one point. Ramped up the infectiousness then picked the lethality ones that raised infectiousness without affecting visibility overly much first. Oh, and started in Central Asia.

Killing everyone is pretty easy.
UPDATE: 6965 points, not bad

I killed off everyone, including Western Europe, with a death toll of 584999. I guess that leaves one human left, but he's hardly going to be very succesful recreating the human race on his own is he? Score: 6500.
BTW, don't you just love their definition of "Central Europe"?

Yeah, and "Eastern Europe".

Death toll of 585000. 5000 points.
hmmm...killed everybody...got a score of 8750
I got pretty good. Took ages on my game to infect Western Europe, so that brought my points down :(
I killed them all. :evil:

It took a few tries, but I got it in under 100 days. I should have paid more attention to the number infected. Once I realized that everyone was infected I upped the lethality. Sloppy in retrospect. :shame:
Got 'em all. Does anyone else remember Evo?
