Still, it’s nice to get one-seventh of the world’s population infected in a hurry. If you spread too fast or kill too quickly, you’ll draw the attention of the scientists who will fight back with a cure. You’ll have an easier time infecting poorer countries like those in Africa or South America or Southeast Asia. Those countries also have large pockets of undeveloped regions. If you want to get a lot of people infected in a hurry, China or India are home to more than 1 billion people. It’s a big world out there, and you have to infect more than 7 billion people, so where should you start? Aggressive beginnings As the helpful pop-up suggests, wherever you touch is where the plague begins. This is the main screen where you’ll be monitoring your disease’s progress.

With that, you’re ready to start the game! How to start your plague

Yes, you can buy new genes to get a leg up on your destruction. These are all things that you can add to your disease over time within the game, but if you start with them, it’s a huge bonus. In some cases, you can activate a gene to help the disease spread more quickly over water or survive in warmer climates. The first few times you play the game, you won’t have many advantages, but as you win a few rounds, you’ll unlock new genes that can make the game easier. He or she already destroyed your heart, why not let them destroy the world? Modify the genetic code

It’s the most fun to name the plague after your ex. You’ll need to win the game on Casual before moving up the difficulty ladder. In a Mega Brutal game, doctors invest in research and there are random medical check-ups, so it’s harder to get your disease into the world. (Suckers.) In a Normal game, two-thirds of people wash their hands, doctors work three days a week, and people ignore the sick. In a Casual game, no one washes their hands, research doctors don’t work, and people hug the infected. Some diseases mutate rapidly, which could help you kill people faster, but could also draw unwanted attention from those pesky scientists working toward a cure. In some cases, like a Fungus, it requires a lot of effort on your part to get the disease to spread. One thing to note is that the different plague types behave differently, and the world reacts to them differently. Bio-Weapon is incredibly fun – once you’ve infected everyone on Earth, you essentially get to push a button to kill anyone left standing. When you first play the game, you’ll only have access to Bacteria, but as you destroy the world, you’ll unlock even more plagues.
