Plague Inc: The Cure - Bacteria Mega-Brutal Guide

[@PravusGaming]

Heyo, folks! Wasn't really planning on ending my sabbatical so soon, but obviously this is too exciting to pass up! Planning on working on these guides for the next few days, then resume my break. Probably will be back sometime mid-February for regular content! (Also I discovered this morning that my external hard drive with the last five years of KZbin files died on me, so I have to recover everything. That'll take time.)

[@shreddedcheese9805]

I was waiting and saw that cure mode was on steam so I came here immediately

[@StoopidYT-xm1gy]

Is the cure mode on Xbox?

[@justinthompson6364]

I was just thinking it was a shame that Cure mode dropped in the middle of your break, I guess I should have known you'd still make a video! Hope you're doing well

Tip: When exploding a red bubble at the beginning, if it leaves green smoke instead of the usual red one, that means it is the origin country. It also does a different sound

[@pactpoint]

Wow... Impressive

[@Hunter_Lazarus]

That would have been really helpful to realized

[@masternilla6652]

The starting country has patient zero and if you find him the cure works faster so thanks

[@TheMelvinV]

@@masternilla6652 You will need to keep your researchers in that country for like 75% of the game which is bad. In my attempt the disease started at a airport and harbor. Both went to another continent. One of those continents had send a both to Asia. So I already had Asia, North America and Europe infected and there was no stopping it from infecting every country with at least one person. I was forced to use lockdowns and that gave me a lack of points. Which made it hard to control the people. Which caused me to spend more in Lockdown management rather than measurements. I had to keep people locked up until a vaccine. It got 17% of colombia killed. I really saved myself trouble by relocating my researchers whenever one continent was not listening, I could use that as a buffer to temporary lift lockdowns and prevent massive outbreaks and keep them small.

Just a little side-note. When you hit an infected country for the first time in the early-game, you can tell whether or not it’s the origin country by the noise the popped infection bubble makes: Regular infected countries make the standard ‘buzzing’ noise and release red gas when the red infection bubble is popped, the origin country makes an almost ‘hissing’ noise and release green gas when it’s red infection bubble is popped. Edit: Amended to add the gas visual clues.

[@naheedandhaseebdanish451]

Nah you have to play a saved game where the disease is called COVID-19

[@ChardoraMagelight]

Here is a couple of tips of the cure mode that is good to know. Contact tracing is a government response, when clicking on a country, you can see if they had activate it or not. Each country has 3 levels of starting healthcare levels determines how much the disease can spread and how lethal it is, there is also 3 levels of effectiveness when using contact tracing as well. It is possible to win by having no more infected. I have won ultra brutal for the bio weapon, by locking down a whole continent where the disease started, and preventing it from spreading. Then I just let everyone either recover from the disease or die. Authority loss from non compliance is temporary, it comes back when people start listening to you. The bio weapon is the hardest one by far IMO, since it get far stronger when spreading to new countries. Report thy neighbor is what happens when you have I think mask wearing and public awareness, it reduces the infections. On the other hand, if you don’t get PPE 1 soon after the start, you will get news that your field operatives are becoming infective and spreading the disease . Good luck with these videos, I am excited to see what you can come up with for each disease.

[@Sebaz271]

Just leaving a quick like to celebrate this break from his break! Yay! (Seriously though, if you need more time, just do so. Take care!)

[@JohnDoe-pb3xn]

Some words of advice, in the response tab there are 2 upgrades that I’d consider mandatory, social distancing, and local lockdown, both increase non compliance by quite a bit but they reduce infections so much it’s crazy, if your field operatives are upgraded to reduce infections when present it will cause the infections in the country they’re in to go down, not just slow down, it will actively drop as infections go negative, it also hugely slows down infections in other countries.

[@mikethegoo]

I really like how you explain WHY you do what you do, since I'd much rather get a push in the direction I should aim for while knowing what it should look like so I can adapt to it myself and tweak where needed, or see if other things work better that are more fun for me, and maybe apply it to other rounds or things too, instead of just getting a step-by-step guide to do it and then just go "... Okay I have done a checklist and now the game says I won for that... Next checklist please" Just like how I like Grian's building video's on Minecraft and how I learn how to draw. It's much more fun to understand what you're doing and sometimes fail, but know WHY you failed and adapt accordingly than just learn what you should do and performing the same trick over and over again without any idea how to do it differently or what you're doing. Also just to be able to understand better what certain initiatives and all do, since some things just seem so similar but do different things, without being too clear about it (to me at least) and it leaves me wondering WHY it goes wrong... Or the world just decides to ignore me and do things and I have no idea if I could have done it better or differently or if the strategy was just doomed from the start. I do assume that brutal strategies usually work on any other difficulty for the same disease type too. Or is that wrong?

[@jlnger149]
