RE: Suggestions?
Initial thoughts after playing the early access version. I have a lot to unlock - playing casual of course didn't help, I didn't realise I needed to play the normal mode to unlock the next plague type.

Perhaps these things don't work yet - but in the 7 or so playthroughs i've had so far, it seems like the following do next to nothing useful:
a) re-sequencing the genome
b) hardening the genome
c) breaking research

The breaking of research does eventually start to show a black area in the cure progress, but it's so negligable, it's near pointless. Likewise, the mutations to make your plague harder to cure seem to not affect the actual cure date at all. You're much better off making the disease more lethal, than making it harder to pin down in a lab.

Most of the hover help information isn't there - most of the symbols are still mysteries to me, because of this.

It would be helpful to see an indication of how the plague is doing in each country, in terms of how infectious it is and why it isn't spreading well (eg: it's too hot).

One kind of plague I think would be neat to have as well would be the Grey Goo, nanites scenario - only a rich country can be a starting location and the world is trying to cure it immediately, however it is hardened by default and its goal isn't necessarily to kill, but to control / convert. The other mind control plagues could do with a similar goal, where killing isn't the only end-game.

There seems to be something wrong with the mouse clicking on countries - often it will take several clicks, a double click or moving the mouse away and back again for it to finally select.

All in all.. the thing that made me buy the early access (I also have the game on the iPad) is the promise of co-op multiplayer. PvP is interesting, but my group of gaming friends are always in search of the next fun co-op experience. We also do enjoy PvE competition, to see who can do better.

eg: allow each player to have their own virus that spreads throughout the world and whoever kills/converts the most by the end of the game is the winner. This is not directly a PvP unless there is a way to make your plague fight another persons plague, which is probably not on your radar.

Great game, keep up the good work - everything is stable already, no crashes so far, which is a great way to start an early access release Smile

Cheers,
Emeseles
