Simian Flu Mega-Brutal Guide by wab

Okay guys, here's my mega brutal guide for simian flu. I've been wrong about being aggressive early, as most of the other guides here,patience is the key. I'm gonna post my guide because so far it has 100% win rate 7/7 games, with 5 bios each.So here we go

.

• Atp boost
• Aquacyte
• lon surge
• leadership
• extremophile.

Genes that are important for this strat are surge, leadership and atp boost,you will soon see why.

Starting country-choose between east, west or central Africa, China, Indonesia or India. You get the idea, a country with lots of monkeys because we're gonna be farming like crazy. Moving on:

• Photophobia
• Rash
• Joint pain

This way infectivity goes to almost zero, which gives us much more time for saving DNA for later. In some of the games I devolved rash, in some i didn't, couldn't see much of a difference so it's a matter of personal choice.Simian neuro-genesis
Ape colonies
Create colony in starting country.
Inter-genus dissemination 1/2
All ape transmissions except hominidae bridge.
Cognitive shift, Education, Social cohesion, Primal awareness, War paint, Covert expertise, Organised travel, Logistics, Seafaring, Ape rampage.

Move apes from some countries with low ape population to the North and South America, Australia, Japan, Madagascar, New guinea and New Zealand /Greenland and Iceland it's once again up to personal choice.

Next step is creating 6-7 colonies in listed above countries+Sudan.

Drug and Cold Resistance 1/2,Genetic hardening 1/2.

Now it's time for saving dna.Once you feel you have enough(for me that usually 300+) go for:

• hominidae bridge 
• bat 1/2
• water 1/2
• insect 1/2 

+ every non highly lethal symptom(I forgot to say we are devolving everything that mutates until we are spotted).

Wait until almost everything is infected, while farming DNA, destroying labs and avoiding planes. Then evolve as many lethal symptoms you can(by the time haemorrhagic shock wiil cost something like 160-180, so don't expect high lethality)

Next you can go for re-shuffles or more lethal symptoms,depending on cure progress.

So that's it. It's pretty much the same as Jacob's mega brutal guide.

Feel free to add this to other one/the part with photophobia and joint pain/and excuse my english:-)

I don't really understand this final sentence, so I decided to just include it here if ever wab wants to explain it.
