Pirate Plague Scenario Guide by Johanson
Here's a Strategy that has worked for me in the Scenario Pirate Plague for several of the basic diseases (except for Bio-Weapon and Fungus, there some changes have to be made)
Aim: Super Sparrow achievement (3 Biohazards on normal difficulty with all plagues)
Setup: Cytochrome Surge, Darwinist, Aquacyte, Extremophile, Symptostasis
- Start in South Africa
- Evolve Rash, Sweating, Skin Lesions, Coughing, Sneezing
- Evolve Air 1&2
- Evolve Cold Resistance 1 & Drug Resistance 1
- Evolve Water 1 & 2
- Evolve Cold Resistance 2 & Drug Resistance 2
- Make sure to devolve any lethal symptoms until you have all islands infected (to keep the ports open)
- Evolve Necrosis & Dysentery, then Total organ Failure and any remaining lethal symptoms, then Genetic Reshuffles
- Depends on luck, but this scenario doesnt offer more and this strategy seems to be working for me on Bacteria, Virus, Parasite, Prion, Nano Virus (ignore special abilites with Prion and Parasite, be sure to get up to Replicator Overload with Nano Virus)
For other plagues, short versions:
- Bacteria: Start in China, evolve Bacterial Resilience instead of Cold Resistance, otherwise pretty much the same
- Fungus: Pathostasis, utilize Spore bursts to get a jumpstart, (as well as Metabolic Jump, Teracyte) and save one of the stronger spore bursts
for when only the islands are not infected, proceed with Necrosis and Dysentery to get the last infections and first deaths faster and safer
- Bio Weapon: Pathostasis and Evolve to kill with Armageddon, still get Skin Lesions + Sneezing along the way though. Possible to devolve Armageddon and Evolve again if people die too fast in the end
