There is no pop-up after you achieve it. (Cheat victory - doesn't count - I just wanted to see if it was evn possible) Anyone try killing the world with zombies but not evolving the active ability traits?
Yes, part of my high score method is to get 100% infection then evolve CR, because every one is infected you don need the horde or regenerate abilities. Done many times without the cure being discovered so everyone becomes a zombie, world dies.
Ok, so since some people have cheated a win, we know the achievement activates in a normal-style disease killing everyone. Without a special pop up or sequence. What we don't know is if there's a sequence that causes a slow or stop in cure. Or maybe a special combo that makes all their current research worthless, like in the Darkwater origin. (Gene Hard/Segmented causes their research efforts to fail.) Maybe we should be looking into certain scenarios of things that potentially make our virus harder to analyze? I don't know, I know it's common to have everything like that, but I'm just kinda grasping for straws. Hmm...I'm thinking of the wondercure message. Has anyone tried getting noticed with like insomia, then devolving right away and letting the game progress far like that, devolving all symptoms. Maybe they start on a path for protecting and adapting the virus as a miracle cure, then mass distribute it themselves (100% infection) then ignore checking for it specifically when it goes lethal, looking for a new disease since their 'miracle' can't possibly be the cause.
I've tried something similar, made virus lethal, waited til cure complete then devolved all symptoms, hoping the cure would then become lethal, like an overdose, cos the ppl didn't need it. Also tried loads of variants of said method... ...didn't work. Why? Because nothing works! *note- I got whole world infected every time!
Can any code lurkers confirm that having not evolves CR is a DIRECT requirement of NAZG. It is possible to evolve CG without having zombies if you limit the population and/or have no lethality. The Miracle cure broadcast is the only zombie related broadcast we have so it has to be a breadcrumb. I am experimenting with using the antiviral drugs they apparently give out like candy in the US on brutal to control spread strictly and still get noticed and have CR.
CR has 1 lethality point and there is nothing in the game to reduce lethality by any degree in order to equalize it, so... no.
Man people are desperate for clues. Im mean some real nonsense being talked about. Cr evolve not being requirement for nazg? Talking about pop-ups that only happen after zombie mode? Humans killing each other? White banners being a clue? People, everything has been tried, I'm guessing collectively we are in over thousands of games. There is nothing in the game files. Unless you have a sequence to offer that slows/stops the cure, you are wasting your breath.
Gah this achievement is frustrating! Random thought- Game developers promise never include zombies blah blah blah.... Perhaps starting in the UK (home of ndemic) may be a trigger?
It can still be controlled by limiting the population carrying it, the only problem is getting it noticed with a small population
Agreed - all this talk about doing stuff after CR is wasted. CR = Zombies = failed. Shortly after CR evolves you get a small number of zombies, >0 is enough to fail the achievement. The cure is still going up and unless you kill or turn the people into zombies (= failed) in bulk it will reach 100% and cure the infected. There is no way to kill people fast enough, and if trying to get 100% infection after CR you absolutely will get 1+ zombies. 100% infection and death is required to win. So the answer to the question "is CR not evolved a requirement for NAZG?" is a definite YES. Now please lets end any further wasted time. Side note: For those looking at a trigger in the cure stream. The pop-up "scientists concerned about <disease>" is a RED news item - that could potentially be a trigger point, if we can find the trigger. I know it's been mentioned before, but here is a possible hint from the messages file Billions of dollars of damage caused in %s. RMS expects it will take years to repair the damage caused to thousands of businesses, homes and research facilities That has to be a cure dampener
Don't the scientists say that the virus can cause tumors? I know it isn't in symptoms for necroa, but maybe there can still be a way to make tumors.
That's from natural disasters, gotten it several times in normal disease types both before and after cure research has started. It's from earthquakes or flooding or something. Severely reduces one country's contribution at least for a while. (Pretty sure it just replaces a bunch dead with a lot of cure money lost) As natural disasters don't seem to happen in Necroa as far as we've gotten, I don't think it can pop up. EDIT: Almost 200 pages.
As I recall the messages get broken into pieces, that one sounds like it could have been the second half of the tsunami message or something?
