Strategy hints for Pandemic 2: How to infect Madagascar
Saturday, 02 August 2008 06:32

Yesterday I found a new and attractive online game: Pandemic 2. My friend had already told me, that infecting Madagascar is hard. I played the game for a while and I noticed the same thing. Madagascar seems to close shipyards very early and after that, there is no way to get the disease on the island.

See also: Walkthrough of Pandemic 2

But I believe, that there is always a solution, you'll just have to think for a while. And the solution usually is not the one, which seems to be the easiest...

So here Kirnu proudly presents the solution for MadHow to conguer Madagascar.

Choose the parasite.

At the beginning, increase your disease drug resistance 2.
Then make the disease transmit by Rodent. You know, where the rats travel?
Try to get rid of symptoms by selling them. This makes your disease invisible and gives your more time.
Then increase resistance against heat to 2 - Madagascar is a warm place?

It is unlikely, that a ship will take the disease from your starting country to Madagascar, so you will have to infect several countries with harbours around the World. So you need to increase the resistance against cold and moisture also at level of two.
Wait...

Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not - you'll have to be lucky
It helps, if your starting country has a shipyard.

I found out it doesn't matter what country you start off in. This is what I did:

1. Chose realistic
2. Chose parasite
3. Named it YOUR MOM (LOL)
4. Immediately sold symptom
5. Bought level 1 in all resistances
6. Eventually bought all transmissions
7. Waited.., (within 10 min. all countries were infected and NONE EVEN SHUT DOWN!)
8. Added lethal syptoms and won 5 min. later

I've done this 5 times and won every time. My highscore was 84,600 points. DO THIS TECHNIQUE IT WILL WORK ALWAYS!

Madagascar's Dead
Ha. I finally did it (on relaxed). Just before the vaccine was deployed, I successfully infected the entire world. All that work for nothing, suckers!

Anyhow, Greenland stayed open forever... one poor ship keeps floating around in a circle, trying to find a port to dock in, but everything else is closed. Kind of a funny glitch.

May just leave the game on all night and come back in the morning just to see how much it's evolved. Or if I've failed miserably

Just sell all of your symptoms, then wait for all countries to be infected. If you're patient enough, wait for everyone in the world to be infected. You'll have an insane amount of evolution points by then so you can buy up to tier IV then just buy something like heart failure.

I started in madagascar once, its really hard to infect anywhere else but india and after you get central europe your pretty much stuck where you are, its harder than most countries, but keeps you under the radar for a long time

Upgrade all resistances to level 2, get one transmission(any will work EXCEPT WATERBORNE) sell all symptoms at start. or if you do have one, keep sneezing. Once it spreads to another country buy sneezing or get rid of it if you had it before. Wait. Once entire world is infected start to buy symptoms that make people catch it easier and improve lethality. This won't work EVERY time but it works more often than every other method I've used.

This is a man made virus. The New World Order are making their move, what will you do?

Why even bother infecting Madagascar? You get nothing special for killing off the whole world. Your score is based entirely off of the average number of infected and killed per day.

Score = Victims/Time

And the different disease types seem to have multipliers attached. Virus is only slightly above 1. Parasite is much higher.

Kill the world in 80 days with a virus, and you get 176,000 points.
Take out Europe, Asia and Africa in only 60, and you've got ~220,000.

What you really want to do is max out drug resistance. It's a lethality multiplier.

AAARG! used the method and got everywhere BUT madagascar!! so close!

I was able to beat the game on realistic, including Madagascar, consistently with the following stategy.

Sell whatever symptoms you have at the beginning.

Buy Drug Resistance up to level 2. No higher.

Buy cold or heat resistance all the way. Not both, just one or the other, doesnt seem to matter which.

Buy infectivity for rodents and/or insects. It doesnt seem to matter if its one or both, although if both you might end up scaring the countries too quick.

As disease just starts to catch, buy sneezing symptom.

Watch as Disease begins to infect all the countries. Once you see countries begin to shut down their airports and seaports, add all infectivity symptoms and measures.

Pray for Madagascar.

If madagascar doesn't get hit before it closes its seaport you have a small chance of still getting it.

This method probably has a 1/5 chance of winning. My highest score is 22,000.

hope that helps

nah starting in madagascar sucks too, too little ships leave from there..

Killing symptoms
You need a good combination of symptoms. For example try to pick those, which cause body to loose water.
18 Wednesday, 10 December 2008 02:33
ninga
what symptom kills people the fastest?
17 Monday, 24 November 2008 19:22
lol
yay it worked thanks man
16 Monday, 24 November 2008 01:44
yo
Better way....

1)Start a new game
2)if the start location is in madagascar, YOU DID IT!!!
otherwise goto step 1.

I finally found a way to infect madagascar. Get rid of symptoms, build up resistance, and use only insects as transmission until all countries are infected. I have now done this 4 times to make sure it works and it worked everytime. It takes a little while, but it will infect EVERYONE!

someone

10 Saturday, 13 September 2008 11:25
daniel
i think they should make an std one
9 Friday, 12 September 2008 04:40
Its me
It worked for me. Within a few minutes, everyone was infected. Including Madagascar!
8 Monday, 08 September 2008 10:31
greg
best way is to have no symptoms, and to have maximum transmission. Start with bacteria and just WAIT. nobody will shut down anything, and before to long, everywhere will be infected, including madagascar, and you will have heaps of evo points!

China is always a bad country to start.

Best one seems to be Greenland.
3 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 19:47
justin
it didnt work. i did it exactly like you said.

china realized something was happening and started killing rodents.

madagascar soon closed its shipyards.
2 Wednesday, 06 August 2008 13:57
Pasi
It works every time :-)
1 Tuesday, 05 August 2008 19:55
Parasite
Best way is still to start in Madagascar in the first place ;-)
