Neurax Worm - Help?!

[Hannah]

So for some reason I am having a lot of trouble passing this disease type. I am only playing on normal difficulty and it just seems that my disease is detected really quickly and a cure is developed much faster than I can kill.

Any strategy suggestions?

Yes. I can help. The neurax worm. We love you Neurax worm. Anyway the mughty neurax has an ability which causes people to board planes and infect different places. Yes get this, control the humans. ALso het 1 cold 1 drug resistance 1, transmision eggs 1, concertina locomotion then cold 2, drug resist 2 neural breach, plane 2, continue with the symptom tree up and left make that circle and then transcendance. Now you have to time the symptoms to correlate with infected population, once you have about 5 billion infected start working your more severe symptoms and work towards transcendance.

QuadX has given you some good advice - remember the Neurax also has a few anti-cure symptoms so make sure to make use of those!

personally I found The neurax worm to be the easyest type to win with.

grab level 1 of each resist, go down the left symptom tree (to reduce severity/visibility), then grab 2 levels of trijan planes.
now, just wait around untill you got 100% infection, then quickly rush to either kill or control (both are left of the symptom tree, where you are to remain invisible, go up to control, or down to kill)

Thank you all!!!!

the advice in here definitely helped, can't believe I didn't think about enslaving humanity rather than eradicating it lol

Yeah I can see how that would be confusing, suddenly the game is about Not killing people. Personally I, like many others, love the Neurax Worm. I even played on brutal first time through (unlike the others types) because I secretly hoped I would get stuck on it, unfortunately I won ):

Start in Japan first, they seem like they would be the most succeptible. I choose to beleive thet's what made victory possible. Serious advice is try to avoid notice or outrage, once people start noticeing brain parasites they get upset for some reason. Once people start getting antsy start using your hosts to slow research speed and condition society into accepting you.

All hail Neurax Worm!
