Cure is finished too fast... What happened???

[CrazyEight]

I can no longer beat the game as a fungus on normal. I use to do it all the time for fun. But now every time I try to play the cure efforts seem to smash me every time. Anyone else getting this issue?

the trick is to remove any of the symptoms that evolve and to get it able to cross large bodies of water. This was the most time consuming plague as you have to make it contagious and essentially leave it to do it's work.

No no... I had infected the world already. Once the world was infected the cure blitzed its way to being finished.

If you don't have the Creationist gene installed, then that could be the problem. It will let you spend less DNA devolving mutations and so you'll have more when you're ready to kill the world. Killing faster means fewer researchers.

To avoid telling you about all my tries about this, I am gonna tell you about a couple of tries. One of my best tries I infected the world except ONLY 2 countries. Cure was never made, but I missed like 36.000.000 people. Kinda sucks to get that close after all these tries!

The other try wasn't really that good, but it could have been, if it wasn't for me starting all the way in Central America and doing well, only to see that New Zealand was infected and tried to find the cure. Sucks, cause I lost right after that.

Been trying all kinds of things. Being stealthy, waiting, or just making a very dangerous fungus (for this particular game). Nothing works, because even if the anti-cure skills are put on max, they're still making it super fast.

The worst part of this game is trying to do things, but having to wait for an eternity where nothing happends. This is actually really the worst part. You got very strong sympthons, you have infected many countries, and even though you're almost up in the 100s in DNA, it simply doesn't go fast enough. I have seen when it goes fast and super fast, but in most cases the spreading seems to be hard. Maybe it was the fungus fault by being what is it, but when I started in UK multiple times, and put both flying / ship spreading, it really didn't do it. Not a single country. I do love to spread it using the clouds, but I'm still probably losing because of the Islands that won't get infected.

I think it's time to skip the Fungus and try something else.
