It's a great idea, and kinda fun for awhile, but it quickly looses its sparkle.

Awesome fun .. but I can never seem to get anywhere. By the time my disease is lethal enough to kill, most countries automatically shut their borders and then close down air/seaports meaning my disease just flounders and dies in other countries.

Bah looks like they fixed the naming trick (name the disease with a country's name and you start from there, only surefire way to get Madagascar). It's a fun idea but way too simplistic, just sell all the disease qualities that increase detection, while adding the environmental resistances. Wait until it's spread globally then unleash hell with the deadliest qualities you can find.

Well it's harder then you think inz, when playing "realistic" you'll have a hard time infecting either peru, madagascar or greenland. Either one of those countries always seem to stay uninfected when i try.
Had a game once where only peru and madagascar were the only surviving countries cuz they closed transport and borders.
Trick is to get airborne/waterborne as fast as possible and spread via airplanes and boats while staying undetected for a long while. Once you're spreading, increase infectivity while keeping an eye on your visibility. Then when all (or most) countries get infected, increase lethality with hard hitting symptoms like heart and kidney failure or encephalitis or something.

I've been playing this since it came out. On realistic I can infect everything but Madagascar its almost impossible to win. The biggest flaw in the game is that you can take away all symptoms of your disease and still spread and infect people and the countries for some reason will shut down because of bacteria that has no negative effects which is just laughable as the bacteria would probably never be detected until it started having so sort of illness caused by it nor would nations totally shutdown because of a harmless bacteria.
I once decided to cheat the game and give myself infinite evolution points and give myself full resistance and methods of spreading while taking away all symptoms and the results were much worse than playing legit countries shut down right away. What seems to trigger global cooperation on stopping the spread of the disease isn't the amount of nations whom are infected or how many are infected on the global scale but rather when it gets to bad in a single country. So this means the method of winning totally relies on the quick spread of the disease while hoping not to infect to many people in the nations you started in or near.
