Unlisted Countries - q8Ace - 22-06-2014 07:51 PM
First of all i'll start by apologizing if this inst the right set for such a discussion.
What I wanted to ask, or perhaps suggest, is adding countries that already have borders but are linked with another country.
Its one thing to call a group of countries Central Asia or Middle easy, but its another to add two countries under the name of one of them.
Example: Iraq "Absorbed the State of Kuwait".
Would such things be fixed in the future?
Is there a setting for suggestions ?
From my understanding this game is in Alpha phase, which generally mean community involvement.

AFAIK it's a engine related issue. Ndemics should tell more.

The countries would be too small to be individually touched in a touch-sensitive device. (eg. Kuwait) Also, plagues can easily cross a land border (eg. Bird Transmission) so putting groups of small countries (eg. Baltic States) is a lot easier for the developers.
Also, since PIE is a Plague Inc port to the PC, the game mechanics should be the same so that's why we can't put all the countries in the PC version to make it fair.
Also, I still wonder why Ndemic didn't include the Oceania islands.

See yea I kind which that whole area would go back to being the Middle east, instead we have Kuwait being absorbed into Iraqi "Which once invaded Kuwait btw".
Would be better if the whole area is just counted as one country tho.
Appropriate the answers guys.

Hello
In my opinion or you name the countries or name the areas. Is better to use only one criteria.
For example, in the case of Spain, is better to name it as Iberian Peninsula. Because in that area is located Portugal and Spain, not only Spain (as it is in the game).

Thanks for raising the issue - this is absolutely the right place to ask questions like this
We couldn't include every single country or state in the game solely due to gameplay reasons. It would be overwhelming to the player and difficult to control from an interface point of view if there were hundreds of different countries and regions to click on. Absolutely no offence is caused by this. Hope you understand

I do understand, but each existing country has its own health departments, borders and such, that the disease would need to cross. So, a way to make the game challenging would be to try and increase the number of countries.
