Do you have to kill 100% to win?

I just lost a game where my virus killed 7.091 billion people, which is more than 99% of the world population, but I lost because all the infected host died.

I remember in the tablet version of the game, I won by killing almost everyone "the last few survivors have resigned to their fate, humanity is lost"..something like that.

So in Plague Evolved, do you have to achieve 100% to win?

Yes, with a few exceptions. You can beat the neurax worm by infecting everyone and having them worship the neurax worm (transcendence symptom) and there is a way to get the apes and humans to live together peacefully in simian flu. But the vast majority of the time, yes, you have to kill everyone.

[brothercake]

Yeah with Simian Flu you don't have to kill everyone, you only have to reduce the human population to less than the intelligent ape population.

Apparently so, it sounds a bit unfair though.

How usually you guys get 56,534 people alive and lose the game
