no control
this was pure randomness. sometimes something got infected, sometimes it didn't. not enough points to modify and try to spread the virus. you'd work on spreading, but it was a weak virus or a strong virus that you didn't spread. it made no sense.
First was Better
This was a cheap rip-off of Pandemic, The Original was so much more interactive. There is no possible way to kill everyone, and viruses DO NOT disappear from the face of the earth... I want to see a sequel, not a rip-off that doesn't even deserve the title of 'spin-off'.
Learn to play
to the people who dont know how to play:
There are so many people angry at the author because they dont know how to play. Im going to give you a simple rundown on how to win(what i used at least)
First put all ur points into infect
next turn close the upgrade menu click infected place and click the arrows pointing outwards till ur out of points. do this till its 100% infected. then start infecting the airport and nearby places (click the help button if you dont understand) then when you have infected all places dunp points into lethal and kill them all.
i won with
lethal 7
Infect 4
Drug 1
most places had about 3/5 so i realy didnt need to stop the antivirus to much
To the author:
there is a small problem where your only infected person will die in the first turn and i spend around 30 days trying to infect and island but the planes would just land in the same place over and over agian. also 2 planes from diffrent places land in the same uninfected place and then the both die now i have a place with even less people to get infected. other than those small pverlookable problems i love this game so much more than the other one. all these people just dont know how to play.
Not as good as the original
In the previous game there were dozens of customisation options as well as borders and various other problems to contend with, all of which made it hell'a fun.
This however has removed all that and somehow simplified the game to the point where you have no fucking clue what the hell is going half the time and the other half, where you do, you're made so impotent by the limited options available that its like attempting strategy while encased in jello.
If I was to give advice: scrap this and go back to the original, adding more customisation option. A visual interpretation of what the virus might look like and maybe more challenges to overcome.
First one was much better
You took all the good qualities of the first game, got rid of them, and didn't fix any of the original problems. I loved the first game, it was very addicting. This was terrible and I think you need to go back and re-read some of the reviews of the first Pandemic.
I liked how much you could modify the virus in the first one, and you could infect the airport and water systems for the rest of the game. A virus would stay and hover around, not disappear because one day has passed. Make the game more about strategy and not random chance.
