Clover
neither simple, nor coherent.
So I posted a link to this game in #tcod a little over three hours ago.
... everyone who's on's playing. still.
(this is sort of an achievement for the channel that generally has the attention span of a field mouse.)
/I/ certainly think it's fun; good time waster for an hour or so. You take control of a form of disease, evolving it, adding resistances, symptoms, and transmission vectors, while keeping an eye on your infectivity, lethality, and visibility.
Some tips!
*keep up infectability the first days - start with fever, it's the highest infectivity for the lowest visibility. If you start with something else, sell it.
*pour all your points into infection vectors first
*keep your infectability as high as it can get while keeping visibility as low as you can until all countries are infected
*build up immunities except drug - if it's curable, it's not so famous - until they start the vaccine
*if a country's closed its borders, airports, and seaports with no one infected, start a new game; ya lost that round
Anyway... have fun?
Oh right, and the thread is so named because Madagascar, with its single seaport and no borders, is the absolute worst to try to infect. ~_~
