Great Game!

Choose parasitic (free bonus to insect and rodent transmission), and use all 8 evo points on non lethal symptoms including sneezing to begin! Important, do not add any lethal symptoms until all countries infected! After initial 8, build up resistances and add traits. Traits-Swarmer (Remember free bonus from above), Endurer, Terrorizer, and maybe deceiver if notoriety builds. Resistance levels I use are Cold 2, Heat 3, and Moisture 2.....try and fit Bird transmission as well. If done right, you should kill off the world in 45-65 days on hardest level! Islands can be tricky and still shutdown especially Madagascar. Just take away symptoms to reopen ports. Good luck!
