1.8.1 - Fix for occasional crash when purchasing scenarios 

The first thing I noticed here is "Mega-Brutal" difficulty. I guess I have a bunch more guides I need to start on. Scenario guides would have to wait until I conquer every plague in this supposedly hellish difficulty.

I major change I also noticed was the cheat modes. Instead of being an independent plague themselves, they are now added as an option to add when you start a plague. The new cheat option is added at the lower left corner of the screen at the difficulty selection right after you choose a plague to start in. The three new cheat modes are locked and will only be unlocked after you accomplish the feat of conquering every plague on Mega-Brutal difficulty. One last thing, you are also able to activate several cheat modes in one game. Say hello to unlimited DNA in a plague that's also immune to a cure.

There are also four new scenarios namely, Artificial Organs, Frozen Virus, Nipah Virus, and Unknown Origin. I'll let you check these scenarios out for yourself.

A lot of awesome updates recently. Time to start working on some guides!
