the game lad, the game! What is it?

[Sirus]

Looks like Starsector to me.

The last play of the game was even a kickoff and I got a defensive blitz bonus turn where one of my skinks rushed forward and caught the ball my own team kicked 2 spaces from the goal line. and the goblin team came within one space of pushing my guy into a touchdown trying to tackle him. I don't know if that would have counted as a touchdown though, consitering it was the other team's turn, and game would have ended before my next turn.  Game ended with a score of 4-0.

The answer is: yes - if you are pushed into the end-zone on your opponent's turn while in possession of the ball, you score a touchdown, but you also lose your next turn, iirc fluff says that you spend that turn celebrating.

I have infected every single country in the world with a fungus. However, Iceland only has 34 infected people, and Greenland only 10; these are my last holdouts. I will cover the map as soon as I become resistant to cold.

However, the best part: My disease has not been detected yet, at all. In previous runs the cure would be at 50%, but right now it hasn't even begun.

Edit: 15 minutes later, I've infected every last person. Still no sign of noticing me. I dump a large # of points investing in total organ failure. Science leaps into action and develops a cure in 5 days, keeping me from killing more than 50% of the world.

Preisdent Madagascar still has a few tricks up his hermetically sealed sleeves.

I've been going down the list of basic plagues, beating them one after the other on Mega Brutal.

How you ask?  Because I've been playing for a while and some of the pre-game perks I've unlocked are ludicrously overpowered.  "Your plague can mutate transmissions", "ability costs don't increase", "you get DNA points for popping cure bubbles".  Broken on their own, absolutely ridiculous together.

Know how fungus has a bunch of abilities which cost 1 and infect a single country, and how you get 1+ DNA points each time you infect a country?  Well, if ability costs don't increase... you can more or less infect the entire world in the starting month.

Spoiler: I think I found the key to winning basically every Plague Inc. Vanilla game ._. {LITERAL SPOILER} (click to show/hide)

Patience.

Just get transmission and devolve any sort of disease that would increase Severity which evolves out (this doesn't work as a Virus, obviously :V). Patience.
Infect everyone and evolve any non-disease [transmission and resistance], but save ~55 points to get Total Organ Failure from the Coughing-branch.
Patience.
Then quickly evolve TOF after everyone is suitably infected.

...Fungus takes more patience.

Pretty sure you have a base severity in Mega Brutal that always gets you caught.

I meant the free version (up to Brutal) ._.
Hence 'vanilla', unless I'm using the term wrong.

[EnigmaticHat]

I... thought mega brutal was free?  It was free for me :/

Maybe this is one of those things where there's a different payment model on different platforms or something.

[Akura]

Finally beat that fat cow! And her Miltank.

Took judicious save-scumming, plus Miltank being immobilized by paralysis a lot. Managed to beat down her defense with Rock Smash and nuke her accuracy with Smoke Screen(thanks Quilava). Finished her off despite multiple Super Potions with a Scyther I just caught(Bug contest, best stats on the team despite lower level).

Pokemon HeartGold. Goddamn, Whitney is brutal, and I think they buffed her in the remake.

I do similar, only with Insomnia and Insanity branch. Much more effective IMO, especially if you have to evolve symptoms before taking the world for some reason.

Only one problem: Leaderboard seems to have a problem with slow games. I forgot why, but I generally score lesser with slow crawls.

I skipped about half of "Assault on the Control Room" on Heroic by stealing a Banshee that I wasn't supposed to get. Normally it's part of a scripted event and there's no way you can get to it in time to steal it, but I carried a rocket launcher with me way past the point of practicality just to kill the Elite that's supposed to use it. It still took a number of tries (the level exit is guarded by a huge mob of enemies that can shoot down the Banshee near instantly), but I finally did it.

Halo.

I DESTROYED the final boss in Transistor.  Happened to switch my loadout just before the fight to something super effective, I didn't even use up any of my lives.

Void() + Spark() + Purge() is GREAT
