WTF is the point of the visibility meter if every government shuts it shit down even if it's completely empty? Pandemic 1 did nothing to prepare me for this bullshit.
all the other countries are all out of life and i was waiting for madagascar to be infected but they closed the frikin shipyards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NOW LOST
Researchers in the Netherlands announced last week that they have created an airborne transmissible bird flu virus (h5n1). Today it was announced that a Chinese man from Guangdong province died from H5N1, the first since 2010. I think it might just be time to SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING.
I think a glitch happened, but after the whole world is infected(but NOTHING happens to them) Madagascar was the only one left with everything shut down, and it managed to get there!
Oh yeah, umm...I actually started out on Madagascar! I was gonna post another comment, but I forgot, looking at Halo Forges! And yeah, right afer I posted that comment, I saw I started out in Madagascar.
Why is everyone saying they would move to Madagascar if something like this happened? I would move to Iceland! It doesn't even exist in the game! That's where you would want to go, not Madagascar.
@TheYounoob115 i beat madagasscar today (starting in Africe , and i infected madagasscar with 1-1-1-0 resistances and Rodent and Waterbrone transport and only sneezing symtphon and when all contries infected i buyed necrosis and hearh failure.)
@residentweavil i ment the mood that it gives, like the guy is acting like its so important that a guy is caughing, but the music really gives the feeling of like"were......all......ganna......DIE!!1!!!!!1!!!!!"
Whay those this happen evrytime i play iv only infected madagascar once and even then the Blody phillipeans and like 3 other nations survived maybe i should give up
@ShoutOutLoud79 Greenlands always been last for me, even when people start dying greenland, new zealand and australia still have all the borders open lol.
I failed even harder. I started in Madagascar. And then they shut down everything. I killed the entrie population of Madagascar. Not a single person else.
I couldnt remember something like Pandemic 2, but when i saw Madagascar part, I was like :"Oh, that game with motherf***ing Madagascar!" I think I remember you could select area where you want to spread... Can you just start infecting in Madagascar so you can not get screwed there anymore?
I remember this game... the only reason I was able to beat it was because I got lucky (after restarting the game literally 50 times) and my Virus started in Madagascar. When that happened, the clouds parted and it started raining rainbows.
"Oh gee, 2 people are infected with a bacteria that doesn't do any harm and spreads barely, and is generally not noticable, we're not even sure if it's not just a bacteria belonging to the body!"
@bFmV007 I wanted to quit as soon aas Madagascar closed its shipyard, but when it got closed, one last ship got in... AND MADAGASCAR GOT INFECTED WHAHA!
GAAAHHHH DAMN LEMURS. and yer virus is killed because of Greenlands zombie hospital. I swear, the whole world is dead except Madagascar and Greenlands hospital IS STILL OPEN.
i'm not sure what would happen if you start in madagascar. will another continent act the same? will you succesfully have world domination? or will madagascar shut everything down locking you in? i know my answer. i started in madagascar and greenland shut me out. -_-
Well realistically they would die anyway because greenland is incredibly remote, yeah they could hunt polar bears and stuff but how long would that last?
@ruggedrug1423 The problem is the number of ports/airports in the region. Madagascar only has one dock and nothing else, which is why it's so freaking hard.
I saw a film the other day were a they showed a visualisation on how a virus would spread in matters of day, while the whole world went red... Madagascar stayed green
@emilyyokfungriffin through fire and flame by dragon force....... also for guitar hero 3? watched my friend fail it in 3 seconds on expert.... BWAHAHA
Lol Man in japan *Cough* President of Madagascar: SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN NOW. Secretary of Greendland: Mr President Everyone is infected is just me and yo *Cough* *cough* *secretary dies* President: its ok Keep everything going F**k it if their is a pandemic BRING IT OWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
omg its so true. A single person sneezes and Madagascar goes to def-com 1.
Honestly I just start as the parasite, take away everything that shows signs of infection, raise drug resistance, and let it settle in in every country and let the mass deaths commence.
i find it sad, because my first time i played this game i started in Madagascar but made the most obvious disease and Australia,Japan,and Greenland survived.
my disease : thinking symptoms : none resistance : none spreads by : everything .... day 106 madagascar shuts down airports and shipdocks ect and in total 117 ppl are infected in the usa i love madagascar :)
HAHAHA this is really funny cause i nearly cracked my desk when i found out that the moment i got my disease going (after my 9th try on realistic) madagascar shuts down! and one time i got everything cept japan and i didnt start out in madagascar.. so true
