Mega-Brutal Strategies for Scenarios (3 bio)

Wink RE: Mega-Brutal Strategies for Scenarios (3 bio)
I'm feeling rather pleased with myself today, as I have FINALLY got three biohazards while playing the Smallpox scenario on Mega-Brutal difficulty. (I was seriously beginning to wonder if it was even possible).

I have to admit, I was lucky with this - managed to mutate Necrosis at a very early stage.

I'm still experimenting with strategies, here, so I'm not sure of the best order to get things. The key elements (not necessarily in this order) are:

- For genes, use Metabolic Jump, Teracyte, Trans-Stasis, Hydrophile and Darwinist.
- Start in India.
- Get one cheap infection-boosting thing (e.g. Droplets 2 or Abcesses) then the first Vaccine shield.
- Get some transmissions, including mutation-increasing ones. Insect and Livestock are good; Droplets are cheap.
- Get Corneal Ulceration, Drug Resistance 1, and Genetic Hardening 1 & 2 to help keep the cure in check.
- More transmissions, including Fomites, Water 1 & 2 and other mutagenic ones.
- Necrosis, Vomiting, Diorrhea, Dysentry.
- Cold resistance 1 & 2, Drug Resistance 2, Heat Resistance 1 & 2, Enviromental Hardening.
- All remaining transmissions.
- Use any remaining points on Genetic Shuffles.
- While all of the above is going on you also need to keep a very careful eye on the news ticker. As soon as you start to see mentions of an "experimental vaccine programme" that means it's time to evolve the next level of Vaccine Shield (in the order Lamda, Delta, Omega).

Hopefully someone can refine this a bit and make it more reliable! It's easy to end up not getting into Iceland or Greenland, or getting cured too fast.
