This strategy requires you to use Neurax Worm's unique ability, Trojan Planes, effectively. You'll need to use these planes to infect hard to reach countries at the beginning then use them to infect uninfected countries afterwards. The latter part is somewhat confusing at first but you'll get a hang of it, sliding your finger across the map and find a country with zero infected people. Simple, right? Now onto the guide!
Neurax Worm has to be my most favorite plague type. Why? Because it has a different background music and doesn't really require you to kill people. Instead, you enslave them. Don't get me wrong, I love eradicating humanity but enslaving them with a parasitic worm just sounds so much better to me.
The key to this strategy is the symptom called "Transcendence". This symptom removes the need to kill people after infecting them. What happens is, the infected worship the worm and gets enslaved by it. If you follow my strategy, you'll always finish within 400 days and always have a 5 out 5 score. Just be sure to use those Trojans Planes effectively, alright pal? Let's start.
The Gene setup:
- ATP Boost
- Native Biome
- Sympto-Stasis
- Genetic Mimic
- Extremophile
Important: Once you start getting Trojan Planes, it would be a really good idea to send to these three countries first: Greenland, Madagascar, and Iceland. After all those three are infected, focus on sending your planes to uninfected countries. Later on in the game, just keep sending them to countries that aren't completely orange(infected) yet.
1.) Before you select a country to start in, evolve Egg 1 and 2.
2.) Start in India
3.) Evolve these transmissions and abilities in this exact order:
- Concertina Locomotion
- Undolatory Locomotion
- Water and Air 1
- Drug, Cold, and Heat Resistance 1
- Water and Air 2
- Water and Air 3
- Drug, Cold, and Heat Resistance 2
- Environmental Hardening
4.) Continue by evolving these symptoms. Follow the order:
- Neural Breach
- Cerebral Tendrils
- Adrenergic Constriction
- Anxiolytic Infusion
- Psychosis
- Adoration
- Devotion
- Transcendence
5.) After evolving Transcendence, it won't be necessary to kill people. Once everyone is infected you'll win the game. That being said, remaining DNA should be used to hinder the progression of the cure. These symptoms will do just that:
- Confusion
- Memory Loss
- Aneurysm
- Aphasia
- Apraxia
- Coma
Wait until the whole world is infected then you'll be prompted of your victory by enslaving the human race. Congratulations!
