Basic Information

Gameplay

  1. Start in Saudi Arabia and get Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships and Deploy Field Operatives.
  2. Send the base to Central Africa, Brazil, USA, Canada, Germany, Russia, China, India and Australia.
  3. The Nano-Virus should be found in no time.
  4. Then get Develop Kill Code, Hack Climate Routines, Hack Secondary Routines, Special codes and Kill code supercomputing.
  5. For Climate hacks, go for the one opposite of the starting climate (For Instance, the plague is in a hot country, then pick scramble cold resistance, or, if the plague is in Canada, pick the hot resistance)
  6. For the remaining 2 abilities, pick the one you want.
  7. Now, pick the fatality prevention response. (Such as Clinical Treatments and up as they increase cure research speed)
  8. Keep your Authority alive then you will win.

Basic Information

Difficulty

  • Normal

Task Force

  • Fast Response EMTs
  • Regulation Enforcer
  • Port Controller

Gameplay

  1. Start in Turkey
  2. Enable Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships & Deploy Field Operatives
  3. Investigate quickly in countries with many land borders such as East Africa, Iran, Central Europe, Brazil, West Africa, China, Russia, Bolivia, Germany, Egypt or Saudi Arabia.
  4. After finding an affected country, go to its information tab, there it will report where the disease came from. (See example image 1 in the gallery, the government table reports that the disease came to East Africa by land from Sudan)
  5. After that, the entire continent must be inspected, at the same time, all airports, ports and land borders must be closed.
  6. Enable Furlough Schemes to avoid non-compliance, and Contact Tracing 1 to better identify infections in different countries.
  7. After all the countries of the continent are investigated, apply "Force Lockdown".
  8. Enable Testing Capacity 1
  9. In the case, that the Nano-Virus has reached a country from a different continent, use Targeted Quarantine. (See example image 2 in the gallery)
  10. Check the countries with many air and sea routes such as the UK, C. America, the USA, Brazil or Japan, since they are vulnerable to the Nano-Virus due to their routes. Meanwhile, save resources & enable the following operations : Develop Kill-Code, Hack Climate Routines, Scramble Heat Resistance, Special Codes & Cycle Suspension.
  11. In case there are a lot of infections on another continent, activate "Force Lockdown".
  12. Enable Contact Tracing 2, Clinical Treatments, Adapt Society, as well as alert more continents.
  13. Activate Airport & Land Border Screening. At the moment, all continents must be on alert and all "Force Lockdown" must be activated.
  14. Enable Targeted Economic Aid, and use it in countries with high non-compliance
  15. Close certain routes on different continents, in case there is a lot of non-compliance, remove the land border blocks, and enable Mortagage and Rent Belief.
  16. Enable Authority 1, Contact Tracing 3, Infection Control. If in the case that lockdowns don't work in a country, use Targeted Quarantine & direct the investigation teams to that country. (See example image 3 in the gallery)
  17. Enable Testing Capacity 2 & 3
  18. After that, the Kill-Code will be completed.
  • Note: This strategy may vary depending on the country of origin, so you will have to make variations depending on what happened in the game, you also keep in mind to keep the authority high.

Basic Information

Task Force

  • Forensic Epidemiologist
  • Celebrity Scientist
  • Strategic Fundraiser
  • Fast Response EMTs
  • Medical Coordinator

Gameplay

  1. Start in Greenland and get Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships and Deploy Field Operatives.
  2. Send the base to Canada, USA, Brazil, West Africa, South Africa, Australia, China, India, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
  3. If you find the nano-virus, go to the surrounding countries and the countries that the "red plane/boat" comes from.
  4. If you find a country that has >10,000 infected,lock down its continent.
  5. If Europe is infected, close its sea access to prevent Greenland from the pandemic.
  6. Get Furlough Schemes and Adapt Society.
  7. Then get Develop Kill-Code, Hack Secondary Routines, Emotion Dampening and Kill code supercomputing.
  8. If you find a country that has >100,000 infected,lock down its continent. Eventually you'll lock down the whole world. (very important)
  9. While doing 7~8, don't forget to investigate remaining countries, or their non-compliance would be 100%. (very important)
  10. If non-compliance in some countries hits 100%, evolve Mortgage, Rent Relief and National Stimulus.
  11. If your Authority hits 10, fund Authority 1.
  12. If your Authority hits 10, fund Authority 2.
  13. If your Authority hits 10, fund Authority 3.
  14. If your Authority hits 10, fund Censorship.
  15. Fund Fake News.
  16. The world is saved!

Strategy 4 (Operation only)[]

Basic Information

Task Force

  • Forensic Epidemiologist
  • Technical Officer
  • Fast Response EMTs
  • Medical Coordinator

Gameplay

  1. Start anywhere and fund Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships & Deploy Field Operatives
  2. Send the field operatives to all rich countries ASAP
  3. Once the disease is analyzed, fund Develop Kill-Code. As you're funding, send your field operatives to the remaining uninvestigated countries
  4. Fund Hack Climate Routines, Hack Secondary Routines & Special Codes
  5. Fund Emotion Dampening
  6. Fund Scramble Heat/Cold Resistance (Depends on the origin country of the disease)
  7. Fund Kill-Code Supercomputing
  8. Fund Cycle Suspension
  9. Fund Authority 1,2,3
  10. Wait until the Kill-Code is about 30 – 35 days remaining, fund Censorship & Fake News
  11. The world is saved...but at what cost?
  • Note: Playing at 1x speed is highly recommended

Strategy 5 (Mega Brutal, Fast Game)[]

Basic Information

  • Author: RayCharlZ
  • Difficulty: Mega Brutal
  • Suggested Task Force: Fast Response EMTs, Regulation Enforcer, Medical Coordinator, Celebrity Scientist, Forensic Epidemiologist

This one is quite difficult. This strategy is based on the Strategy 1 with minor changes, but I felt like it needed to be more detailed.

This is a race against time. I tried a lot of strategies involving quarantine, decreasing infection rate or mortality, but the disease just spreads too fast. Your best bet is to search the kill-code as soon as it is available while buying enough time to finish it before you lose all your authority. It is necessary to cripple the infection slightly, because when too many people are infected, the kill-code is not developed anymore. Censorship is crucial in this gameplay, so do not play the Ethics Watchdog!

Gameplay

  1. Start anywhere and get Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships and Deploy Field Operatives. Send them everywhere as fast as possible to find the outbreak.
  2. Develop Kill-Code and Kill-Code Supercomputing first. The race begins...
  3. Lockdown the continent where the outbreak started to cripple it as much as possible. Only use Force Lockdown. Use Economic Support 1 to prevent people from disobeying. You won't need the level 2 or more as people will be really afraid of this disease.
  4. From now on, you will Force Lockdown a continent when there are around 1 to 10 million infected people in it.
  5. Use Hack Secondary Routines and Cycle Suspension to buy yourself 30 days of kill-code development while you don't have too much ill people.
  6. Pick the fatality prevention responses that increase cure research speed as long as your Authority is high enough. When it is too low, buy Special Codes and Emotion Dampening first, which should give you back around 15 Authority in Super Brutal and 50 Authority in Brutal.
  7. Always use Authority 1, 2 and 3 before Censorship as the outbreak will always worsen. You will lose points 2 by 2 instead of 10 by 10.
  8. Use Censorship when you are around 10 Authority. At this moment, if the kill codes aren't developed under 58 days (see it in world recap), you have already lost and you can restart. You have probably lost if it isn't under 45 days.
  9. Use Fake News as soon as Censorship is down.
  10. If you timed it well, the kill-code will be available before Fake News ends and humanity will be saved in a couple of days. Good luck!
