The following are strategies and tips for the Simian Flu-exclusive achievement An Ape is for Life.... Please feel free to add your own below:
Strategy 1[]
- Start in Greenland
- Once a Gen-Sys lab opens up, evolve the ability Simian Neuro-genesis.
- Evolve the ability Ape Colonies, then build a colony in Greenland using the active ability Create Colony.
- Win the game without moving the colony from Greenland to anywhere else (it is still possible to create other colonies with the transmission Hominidae Bridge)
Strategy 2[]
To clarify, I am referring to this video. I am not the creator, but I would like to share the strategy, since strategy 1 did not help me.
You can use the following genes, but it's not neccesary:
- Start in Greenland on Casual mode.
- Evolve Simian Neuro-genesis, Ape Colonies right after and place your first and only colony in, who would've thought, Greenland.
- Start by evolving the abilities Cognitive Shift, Social Cohesion and Education.
- Then head over to Transmissions and get Water 1 and 2. Continue with the ability Drug Resistance 1 and follow up with Air 1 and 2.
- Now focus on Drug Resistance 2 and Heat Resistance 1. After that get Extreme Bioaerosol.
- To speed up the infection, evolve Blood 1, 2 and Extreme Haemoaerosol.
- Follow up with Neuro-enhancement 1, 2, 3 and right after that Total Brain Death.
- Continue with Fomites 1, 2 and 3.
- When all countries and nearly the whole world is infected, get some Symptoms like Headache, Fever, Photophobia, Subconjunctival Bleed, Subconjunctival Haemorrhage and Coma.
- Now you can just wait until you win. If you struggle, evolve Genetic Hardening and Genetic ReShuffle.
