Simian and shadow would be a nightmare. Necroa wouldn't be complicated but probably give the staff a nervous breakdown. And neurax seems a bit like nano virus
H1N1, Ebola, Zika, SARS, MERS all happened around this game’s time before covid. Epidemics are common. Covid just happened to be a Pandemic. Mainly by the fault of people.
The cure mega brutal is the one difficulty that actively made me wish I can execute anyone not following the quarantine cause the non compliance might as well be maxed out for me half the time
I did it first try and got more points, but I think I just played it more safely. Just by locking down all the countries and buying all compliance reducing traits, I was able to easily contain it. Not too hard but was tough
I beat it 30 minutes after release and oh boy... It is tough. I did it easily via bug abuse but if I wanted to do it normally I would probably fail. I restarted the game and immediately saved until I got a save where it started in Canada. Then I went there and locked the whole continent down. I did not disable airports immediately. Instead, when I saw a plane leaving I save and reloaded and the planes and boats just disappeared. It's a common bug and devs are aware of it, probably working on fixing it. Anyway, it's a great help in the cure mode, because you can easily lock the disease in one continent. It is a pain in the ass when playing main game though...
Greenland in Plague mode: I might get infected soon enough but you'll fail before you do so :> Greenland in Cure mode: I can literally end your run within 20 seconds if you forget about me
This feels like watching a struggle between two different gods. One attempting to end humanity, another, somewhat weaker one trying to save it, and needing to get people to do things they do not understand from his team of mfing worshippers or something Idk I ran out of cool analogies for his science team
this is less of a guide and more so pravus controlling panic, and himself panicking xd well done on doing this stuff on mega brutal, its def super frustrating
I remember doing this one Mega Brutal blind after dealing with the Mega Brutal Bioweapon in South America strat and lets say that the Frozen Virus in Peru(South America) can be done the exact same way. Arguably easier to reset compared to Bioweapon since it always starts in a cold country, which cuts down the number of countries it starts out
It's kinda weird how Peru is one of the cold countries in Plague Inc, despite being literally near the equator in the real world and actually has a hot humid climate.
Not weird at all. If you look at the _average_ temperature, the hottest month is February, where it reaches about 80 Fahrenheit (26 C) during the day. At night, it's consistently between 58 to 68F (14C to 20C) all year round... and that's in the lower altitudes. Up in the mountains, it gets much colder. This is because of the influence of the cold Humboldt current along Peru's coast.
@@SpearM3064 Still Peru is literally near the equator and its neigboring countries like Brazil and Ecuador have tropical climates, idk what makes Peru's climate so different
I know that the dollar sign symbolises the resources you have, but I can't stop laughing at the thought you can stop the entire country from rebelling by paying them 2 dollars XD
Kind of, yes. In the main game, it's still a scenario and said scenario still uses the standard virus model. In cure mode, it's considered it's own seperate pathogen type from the standard virus.
They really need to add in Necroa, Simion and shadow plagues. But I heard that would be a pain. Along with a Black Death scenario set in the middle ages for an interesting challenge. Realistically. If they wana add in new virus. Black death, Mad cow, Nipah, Frozen will do. But I also have an idea What if there's a cure scenario where you have to deal with bio terrorists like in Trauma Center if your familiar with that series from Atlas. Also. Custom cure scenarios would be awesome.
Lovely video as always! The virus starting in the last place you thought it would was hilarious. Btw, the Plague Inc. Cure Mode playlist isn't in the Plague / Rebel Inc playlist collection on your channel page; would it be possible to put it there for easier access? Thank you!
I used to play plauge inc on mobile during lunch at school and for the life of me no matter how closely I follow your guide for the planet of the ape scenario I always lose. It gets close but Idk what to do
I wish that when non-compliance happens, you can just let the country get overwhelmed by the disease, and once everybody dies, you could tell them "I told ya so :)"
Not too sure about that one. Imo its way harder because there is no real method to contain it. If it starts in uk, or some country that has good connections to russia for example you are fucked. Dont even bother if it starts in in like france or germany. Canada is also very shitty tbh bc of the various flight and sea routes
@@jeff9089 well, the margin for error of FV is still larger than that of BW since you basically have to pray for it to start in one of the three southwest most countries just to have a chance and panic loss is much more likely to happen. Maybe I’m biased because I have terrible luck with my censorship lasting for half a month at most but at least FV can still be contained after getting out of the origin country with some smart quarantines. FV certainly is still hard, just not as hard as the BW in my opinion.
@@jeff9089 Here is the thing. If it spawns in any of those you listed, it's easier to catch early and thus contain. The only time to restart would be if you got it in Russia or Peru, cuz Russia has too much land border access, and Peru you likely won't discover right away. Bio-Weapon is straight up a BS RNG nightmare
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 yes but you also gotta think, you can cheese the bio weapon from casual to brutal by just letting everyone die and cover it up with censorship and fake news. Besides, if you spot the bw in a convenient country, you can immediatly clode everything down. With the FV you can only close the airports for now and generally are really struggling with Points. And also the FV has such an enourmes advantage in cold climates it really fucked me over once. Kinda had it under control for now but i couldnt save finnland, no matter what i did the numbers kept rising and i lost the game. I had 2 levels of contact tracing and testing capacity, infection controll, continental lockdown and even a targetted lockdown on it and i it still fucked me up.
I just thought about this, brutal/mega brutal in cure mode would be easy in normal disease mode, and it's normal for both when normal is selected, and vise versa
I found a glitch on my third run which lets you shutdown things other than the airports before it's analyzed. Just switch to speed 1 and basically pause every millisecond and keep doing that until you've detected the disease. When you go to quarantine the continent, you'll see that you can also shutdown ports and land borders, and you'll be able to Force Lockdown even before it's analyzed.
It is a hard one. The upgrade mechanic to unlock more ways to slow it is what I hate on mobile. My god I mean I feel it's up there with Bio-Weapon, Prion and Nano-Virus
Wait, Germany? That's pretty weird TBH. The Netherlands is counted as Germany and as someone who lives here, I can say that, sure, it's not a "warm" country like Spain or Saudi Arabia or Australia, but our climate is definitely also not cold. We have a sea climate. Which means four seasons with decently warm summers and decently cold winters, but nothing actually extreme (usually)
ended up going for Canada cheese but it started in Peru. didn't escape before I got DNA analysis 1 so if you get everything locked down your authority might tank, but if you rush for national stimulus I'm sure you can beat any disease if it starts in South America because of how easy it is to keep there. Goodluck to anyone that sees this!
This disease was based on a virus that was frozen inside of an icicle for 35,000 years this virus is a double DNA strand and it’s known to infect amoebas
I think "Chill Bruh" would start in Northern Canada, Alaska, or Northern Russia. Those are the most likely countries a frozen disease would start in. "Oh it could start in Greenland or Antartica-" But honestly, who lives in Antartica, let alone Greenland? Yeah, some scientists, sure, but they don't fully move there.
Isn't Peru start the best case scenario, because it doesn't have ports, doesn't have naval ports and the disease would be naturally limited to South America where less than 10 countries exist.
Imagine a mode where it’s any type of virus or parasite or anything but you do the cure and are fighting people getting mind controlled by the virus; a little similar to nuerax worm but in reverse. Edit: fixed a typo
I find it funny that Greenland is tough in both game modes. You would think Greenland is a safe haven.
in normal plague inc its a relief but in cure mode its a disaster
It should be a safe haven
Not really, only this one in cure mode
So basically Greenland is Alcatraz in plague mode but in cure mode, it’s a huge drama queen/king/ruler?
Imagine that.
They need to take plague inc and the cure and combine them into a competitive multiplayer game.
Yes! Why haven't they done this? That would be very cool
@@Mystikwanderer Its probably because of funding issues
@@PURG3_SC3PT3R it’s probably because it would be a nightmare to balance without taking away core features from both games
It's because both players will be pausing a lot to upgrade
other than that, the plague player can just abuse it by using a strategy in where they infect the whole world first before the cure notices it
That moment when you realize that Greenland is a pain in both versions

0:33 that "disease X" underneath the frozen virus is very interesting, can't wait for a new video about that. Praise Pravus!

Right. So which files did you modify?
Aah necroa virus! I bet you can't wait to be added to cure mode for lord pravus to destroy you in 3 seconds.
I like how they added a new model for the frozen virus, instead of using the normal virus model.

That virus merely adopted the ice, us Canadians were born in it, molded by it. (I got this from a Canada meme.)
Thank you!
But I think that the Nano-Virus is a lot harder...
I managed the frozen virus after few tries on Mega Brutal a few days ago.
I was waiting a very long time lol
But nice video!
Moral of the Story: Greenland is a problem no matter what game mode you play of Plague Inc.
For me an early game killer was the UK because once it gets infected it sends infected planes bloody everywhere almost immediately
Woah I remember binging all your mega brutal runs years ago
He is back at plague inc
I can imagine a pvp mode of this it would be sick like virus vs doctor

Kind of, yes. In the main game, it's still a scenario and said scenario still uses the standard virus model. In cure mode, it's considered it's own seperate pathogen type from the standard virus.
