Mega-Brutal Strategies for Scenarios (3 bio)

[Shasar732]

Here's a possible Black Death strategy (and there is probably a better one, but this is the best I've found so far!). I can give you a precise order-of-events for this one, unlike for Smallpox:

- Genes: Catalytic Switch, Teracyte, Trans-Stasis, Extremophile, Genetic Mimic.
- Start in India.
- Skin Lesions.
- Flea 2, Rodent 1, Livestock 1 & 2, Bird 1 & 2.
- Flea 3 & 4.
- Cold Resistance 1 & 2.
- Drug Resistance 1 & 2, Genetic Reshuffle 1, Drug Resistance 3.
- Pneumonic Plague.
- Water 1 & 2, Air 1 & 2.
- Sneezing, Coughing, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Oedema.
- Septicaemic Plague.
- Diarrhoea, Dysentery.
- Wait till every island has been infected. (If it takes a while, you can get Hypotension while you're waiting).
- Total Organ Failure, Hypotension, Haemorrhagic Shock, Internal Haemorrhaging, Systemic Infection.
- Genetic Reshuffle 2 and (if you have the points) Genetic Reshuffle 3.

You need to keep an eye on what's going on at the end, and make sure there aren't any countries where the number of infected is staying low because everyone is dying before they pass on the disease. If that happens, try adding some other transmissions (Rodent 2 for urban countries like the US, Blood 1 & 2 for poor countries - many African countries are poor) or symptoms (e.g. Abscesses) instead of a reshuffle.

You could possibly also try Metabolic Jump instead of Catalytic Switch, and/or Hydrophile instead of Extremophile.
