Can anyone beat fungus?? so freaking hard!!

Answer from: Sundiver
You may have spent too much DNA on vector spreading, only do ship & air x 2, medicine, genetic x 2, and let it spread to 100% infection, De-evolving any mutations. It may take a while, but once everyone is infected, you'll have enough DNA to make your fungus deadly from 2-3 symptoms vs just one. that way you kill everyone before the cure is completed.

As with all diseases, the easiest way is to spend points on transmission, devolving everything that comes along until everyone is infected, it should never be noticed. Make sure to have AT LEAST 60 DNA at this time. Then, once everyone on earth is infected, Buy COUGH->SNEEZE->IMMUNE SUPPRESSION-> TOTAL ORGAN FAILURE. Once that is done, you should be rapidly getting DNA after a few moments, use those to counter the cure/get more deadly traits, feel free to sell cough and sneeze because they are useless since it has already infected everyone. Hope I could help, it usually takes a few tries with this strategy, but once you get a hang of it, it works every time.

Really gutted, followed a very similar strategy to the ones mentioned above, although i didn't devolve coughing as they tend not to notice it. Got the whole world infected and still had 65 DNA points, unleashed some heavy symptoms but managed to kill all the hosts, leaving some healthy people. I went to the assumption if all the countries are infected then you can be as lethal as you like. Next time I will make sure I build on transmission a little even once every country is infected. What a dark way to enjoy yourself eh :)

Kay so u start in china first because its population density is one of the highest so it spreads faster. then u evolve air 1 2 and water 1 2 because they increase infectivity. periodically use spore release so u can infect new countries like greenland or iceland. devolve any symptoms that have been mutated. research genetic 1 2 medicine 1 and bird transmission 1. if it says sudden huge bird migration, research bird transmission 2 to increase infectivity. start saving up for the lethal diseases. once everyone is infected, start evolving lethal diseases. if ur severity or lethality increases, u get way more dna points so u can use those to start slowing down the cure research progress. there are some symptoms that can slow down research progress as well. this strategy worked well for me on both normal and brutal so yeah. best of luck! have fun playing brutal! :D

Answer from: Hoibla
What i just did is upgrade bird spreading and savE up alot of points. Also you should sell all you mutations that went automaically so it wont be spotted and spend like a hundred points on deadly mtations to kill them when everyone is infected

Answer from: BrutallyHurt
None of these strategies work on Brutal in v1.3.1 because devolving costs an escalating amount of DNA after the first 3.

Answer from: Readie
Try to upgrade you transmissions before the symptoms. This should improve the overall infectivity.

Answer from: Peroxide
The best way to beat Fungus is to infect all the countries before you start on symptoms. It will take much longer but it gets the job done. I first maximized spore burst so that way I don't need to research on air and sea transmission. Then I researched on livestock, and bird. For other abilities I research the usual resistance. This method should get everyone infected without them noticing. One thing you have to do though is devolve all random symptoms. Once everyone is infected you can start on evolving the symptoms.

Answer from: Zombrex
You need to get airfull thing and then just save all points and a DNA upgrade lets you get 4points for every sale of powers and the guy who said the coughing in not seen is full of bull it will get noticed so la la la

Answer from: Death
Start in China. Wait until its fully infected then upgrade plane and ship once. Then upgrade heat cold and medicine. Don't upgrade any symptoms and devolve mutations. When world is 100% infected, spend all DNA points upgrading the killing power of your disease.
