Stuck at 120 IQ

[Esta]

Guys I have clothing, oil drums, smelting and im just stuck at 120 iq. Can somebody help me or give me some tips? Like something hard to find that I could be missing? Like the game so far :) and how does humanity beat the plague? I cant do that either

If your faith goes over 1000, humanity will build a church and their IQ will get stuck at 120. Don't fulfill too many of their wishes, that's the main way to keep their faith low.

As for the plague, I haven't beaten it yet either, just wait until the very late game before unleashing it and they'll probably be able to beat it.

Aahhhh - thx for that info!

Ah, I just wondered why the heck I can't get over iq 120 and cannot process further. Thanks alot!

Regarding the plague, I have a theory: Its nowhere written down, but I think you need a Snake for it. Snakes drop Venom and the flavour text of it reads like "is needed for medicine", so I guess you need medicine, adv. medicine as well as some venom to find a cure. You get a Snake when you play a critter card on a jungle tile.

yeah, for beating the plague you have to research medicine and advanced medicine, and have herbs, coral, and venom at your base to unlock vaccine

Solution : Nuke the churche :P

i have beaten the plague a good few times now, and a general rule i personally keep, due to so many failures late game...

try your best to get the plague on an early bum rush...

the less people means you have less people to reinfect your "cured"

i had a world with close to 30 people on a small island... jill was cured 7 times...

poor jill T_T

the first time i managed to beat it, i spawned in a snake nearly the first critter, killed it with a card, and then "sampled" it a couple of times.

less people increases your odds of the first guy to get away from the buggers before they reinfect him/her :p

and yeah, it requires coraal, herbs, and venom, all researched (venom doesn't need research, but the others do) to finally beat the plague)

Waiting for that meteor like....

0ne 3x3 is actually right. You can destroy the church with a meteor and go back to progressing. Also, since the church gives you infinite faith, when the church is broken the counter glitches out. You get something like 99999 faith. This might have been patched though I don't think I bothered updating to the latest version.
