- I got the world record for the hardest speedrun in Plague Inc, all plagues on mega brutal difficulty. You need to play almost perfectly for a lot of these plagues to do this, so it's a really interesting run
Some of strats I used were from other speedruns, and some were from Tatsur0's guide on Steam. Check them out here: steamcommunity.com/id/tatsur0...

this record is definitely beatable, so I'm excited to see what you all can do :)
Hi
sure thing, I will get forty hours, fifty six minutes, thirty three seconds and 17 frames.

Good job on the world record bro!!!

Fun fact: plagued inc is CDC endorsed. They believe the game to be a great tool for understanding how pathogens work and evolution of diseases.
Minus Cures existing, I will agree with the CDC there.
Immunity/herd immunity would have made the game impossible to win
@@user-ik6dg9uk3uHerd immunity can be modelled using the cure formula, what really makes the plague so op is the instant propagation of traits. No alpha delta Sigma waves, all infected people just have the symptoms instantly
Very interesting, that. @@user-ik6dg9uk3u

Sadly for whoever is playing, they aren't doing so well. Their virus has been on the decline.
You can all use the cheat engine speedhack feature to speed up games, not for speedruns necessarily, but just to make them more enjoyable, or to speed through unskippable cutscenes.
Never been vaxed and never got sick whoever is playing sucks
@@loandlex9947 Hey dont say that, the current player (who goes by tag RealGodGamerx0x) is a pretty new player, he is still learning
@@sirbilliam3455They were playing with the Virus disease type which already made it very rng based.. Maybe they would've actually ended the earth if they played on casual difficulty. Ngl tho they chose a cool name for the virus.
57:40 this is honestly exactly what i imagine speezy talks irl he just goes on random facts and it's funny and awesome
Honestly?
Wasn’t expecting a random affirmation from Speezy during the Vampiric Plague
Ya
100% influenced by tomatoanus, and I love it. If you don't know tomatoanus, they're a youtube who does speedrun explanations in collaboration with the speedrunners themselves. Every video they take time out to affirm that you are loved, and that even if you're going through tough times, things will get better. I love the influence, and love more TH-camrs spreading affirmation.
Neither was I but I sure did appreciate it
@@SiilanPies tomatoanus got it from me tho, as I tell people theyre cool all the time
Yeah it really did catch me off guard. I honestly needed it today too

It made me angry, causing me to leave a dislike and bail on watching the rest.
@@CoralCopperHeadaren't you miserable?

I can barely do bacteria on casual mode and this guy is speed running all plagues on mega brutal mode. Huge respect.
This world is on easy mode by the way (mostly in the developed country like our, ironic enough)
@@G.A.C_Preserve Huh?
@@isaiahromero9861In the description for this game’s easy mode, or “Casual Mode,” “sick people are given hugs” and “[literally zero people] wash their hands.” The comment you’re replying to is being hyperbolic (hyperbolous?) in saying that people on Earth perform these stupid actions too in response to COVID. The reply itself has little to do with the comment so I’m pretty sure he replied to the wrong comment by accident, you never know though.
@@JaxsonShehane ah I see, never actually read the descriptions for the difficulty settings in this game, that's hilarious. We'd be fucked if a virus like the ones in this game existed irl lmao
I'm not sure what I like more, the fact that when Speezy upgrades a single symptom like Cytopathic reanimation every person every infected with the disease suddenly becomes a zombie like sleeper agents, or the fact that his vampire managed to kill every single person in Greenland by itself, including the entire military and everyone who would be hiding in a bunker. Absolutely legendary plague creation
Chad vampire
Doesn't cytopathic reanimation only resurrect the dead?
Tbf Greenland doesn't have an army. They have a couple Danish naval vessels and an American space command base
That’s actually the usual strategy for vampire
That vampire is dracula or alucard
this run is... sick.

Watching Eazy Speedy at 2x speed doubles the whiplash from "our vampire plague is spreaaaading" to "Seriously. You are Loved." to "yall ever think about how our memories are fake" back to "vampire plague!!" Great video, and it's really interesting to see the strats!
mega brutal is...very brutal...seriously though, it feels impossible, even with a guide, because something goes wrong or you don't do something at the exact correct time and then you lost the entire game. I respect you for doing something like this.
It isn't that hard depending on disease pretty sure I did all diseases except monkey and vampire on it

Plague Inc. Wiki editor and longtime community member here, thank you for giving the game a boost in exposure and popularity with this video. It’s a game with fascinating mechanics, so I’m glad you took the time to learn them through. 😊
By the way, Severity is a trade off mechanic - humanity’s response will be stronger, but you get more DNA from popping bubbles :)
I honestly don't believe this has ever actually mattered for anyone who is playing the game at any serious level; casually - yes. You might have to contend with severity, especially if playing but otherwise? Severity has very little impact other than increasing relative cure research (basically non-existent depending on your playstyle) and affecting how fast you're discovered. It's a mechanic that only exists to punish bad play, and has no real integration with the rest of the game - past merely providing a convenient way to farm DNA (massively spike infectivity & severity when ready to get huge amounts of DNA)
@@toxicthereporter515 You’d be surprised how integral of a mechanic it is in some Mega Brutal runs like Mad Cow disease and high score farming.
Ooh, that's pretty interesting. Are their any mods to make it even more realistic or add more difficulty?
@@wolf2403 No officially supported or authorized mods or mod launchers as of now (you’d have to ask Ndemic about that) but custom scenarios pack a lot of challenge if you look for the hardest ones

EazySpeezy told me at 4 in the morning at the end of a plague inc Speedrun that I am loved and I really needed to hear it. Thank you
Same. It's 4:18am and I'm in recovery from a surgery, feeling lonely and isolated. I'm so thankful for this channel.
Just in case you were wondering the "manufactured memory" sounds like a psychology concept called "false memories" where if you gather enough information, your brain begins to really want to put everything together to make an actual story. It actually starts to piece together real events, imaginary details made up by the mind, and sometimes details distorted by other memories as well. These memories can actually begin to feel so real that in the past during law cases, there has actually been innocent suspects who start believing they were actually involved in the crime, resulting in false confessions.
me with that one memory that I SWEAR TO GOD I saw ending credits on Duck Hunt after clearing wave 20.
It's impossible, and I suspect that I glitched it something fierce and somehow got garbage letter tile barf from the Mario Bros side (it was a Super Mario 1 + Duck Hunt cart) and my brain never actually read the "contents" of the credits, I was just satisfied I "beat" Duck Hunt on my birthday, even if I was cheating with the zapper right against the CRT screen to turn my gun into a hitscan weapon.
And that's the generous explanation, I may have just hallucinated or fabricated that memory wholesale because I really fricking wanted to beat Duck Hunt.
@@neoqwerty maybe you dreamt that and then confused the actual event with the dream. i had quite a few memories that by now i think must have been dreams because it would make absolutely no sense if they were true. i also have something that i believe to be a very early memory, but which i thought to be a dream for 35 years.
there is only a very thin and fuzzy line between dreams and memories. both are reflections of reality that are created by our brain, and which thus evolve over the years, with there being no way to tell "truth" from "fantasy" except communication with others. (and even that is highly dubious to societal bias, check out "How Real is Real?" by Watzlawick -- awesome book!)
@@neoqwerty nah it's real they've been covering up the credits sequence for years now
Yes, and there are instances of false memories being implanted onto emotionally susceptible individuals, under the pretense of "repressed memories," leading to many high-profile accusations and convictions, particularly during the satanic-panic.
im a maladaptive daydreamer and this is a constant problem for me since I mix up reality with daydreams.
“But it’s really nice when you can start killing”

i saw a review on the game and it was titled "God, I love wiping humanity!" 💀💀
with what toilet paper?
"We're actually going to use Saudi Arabia for our starting location for 9/11 plagues" 6:53
Thats what the school shooter said
Your little message of telling us we are cared about honestly made me happy, Im up at 4am listening to your commentary to help me sleep as your videos are engaging but also relaxed, and it reminded me of my fiance who loves me so much and I always question it because something so great feels so unreal- so thank you for that, it cut off my overthinking :)
And I get what you mean by your memories of Lucky! I have a cat called Puss (we did not know what to name her aha) and my mother saved her when she was less than a week old (presumably) and being beaten by teens, it was a miracle she survived. I was 10 months old when it happened so logically have no recollection, but I remember it- and I can only word it how you worded your own experience! She's 15 now, but not slowing down at all! She was spayed at 7, and they accidentally found out she had a severe hernia when spaying her- it saved her life by chance as she presumably would only have about a week left if unchecked, the poor thing's a fighter- she never changed how she act, we never would have known!
I hope your dog Lucky is well, and if they have passed on, I know the sweet little thing had a great owner, you seemed extremely fond in your anecdote!
Do share more of these chatty conversations in your videos, I enjoy listening to them!
The best part of this entire happening is your half memories that you start regaling about around 53:35. I've got my own very VERY early memories that feel dreamlike. Trying to go back and unearth these emotions always feels like a struggle no one else will have, because they're my own memories. The fact that you also have these experiences that you don't fully understand, but still openly talk about, is very exciting. Thank you for this experience.
I studpied criminology in college, and it had a lot of overlaps with sociology. One of the topics we learnt were how unreliable witness testomonies can be due to how easily manipulated they can be. Not even maliciously, but due to an officer saying one thing, or presenting suspect portraits too early, it has the power to totally flip the memories around and instill fake ones. It's a really interesting!
cops fucking love it

thats psychology not sociology
@@kernel-pult it is also learned in sociology because it has implications about group behaviors and the criminal justice system and our standards for guilt etc.

also Speezy: we are in a simulation

My first day playing this game years ago on like my third attempt I ended up lossing with a single person in the world still healthy. I felt so robbed I was like when that one guy dies humanity is extinct even if he’s still alive I have won.
But you see, it's not a win if you don't get the kill. You would've been vultured
I Am Legend
Well basically, if that one person is a female and she can get to a sperm bank, humanity can continue, if she’s lucky and willing
@@lovelasnow3754 lucky does not even begin to cover how unlikely that is.
* more than likely she would only start after starting to suspect she is the only one left alive in the world I doubt she would just assume that even year one.
* is still at the age she can have children.
* Knows how sperm banks work ie how that method of getting pregnant works.
* Hope the seed bank stays functional over multiple years with no electricity or maintenance.
* can survive pregnancy multiple times in a post apocalyptic wasteland with no proper medical care, or any help at all, all while raising infant children.
* also hoping that she has children of different genders as well
All of these factors combined, make it extremely unlikely for that to happen in my opinion.
@@lovelasnow3754Inbreeding
watching the vampire plague and laughing and thinking to myself, i wonder what kind of vampire easyspeezy would be, like "here i am in your house about to devour your blood in a second but first did you know someone in the world loves you, after i drink your blood and make you my minion you should give them a call, but now onto the main course.....which is killing you and turning you into my minon" LMFAO
With the fact the UK was the last attacked country I imagine the final battle was against Queen Liz risen from the grave.
The random candy smell you get could actually be from a persons perfume/cologne, some have a hard candy smell and one of them might be close enough to that original candy smell that it reminds you each time.
Very nice, watched it all through and big props to you for being able to talk all the time, it made it much more entertaining. Really enjoyed it... Keep it up
In reguards to Saudi Arabia: If you've used the scenario creator, you can see that the country has regular flights to RANDOM countries, unlike other routes which are set t9 go to selected countries
After watching all of the Pravus mega brutal guides, this suddenly explains a LOT on why Saudi Arabia is a goated starting place.
Is random actually preferred in this case ? i thought speedruns generally favor known optimized routes
Ohhhhhh that’s why i thought he just doesn’t like us at all 😂😂😂😂
Woooo!! Congrats man, this is a pretty significant game to hold a record in.
The memory talk is something I've been thinking about a lot, I remember a person that died when I was freshly newborn.
I remember when asking about that person, my mom was really confused how I remember that (I only saw him once in bed dying)
Human brain is really interesting IMHO
That bit where you started talking about random insights in the vampire virus was youtube gold
I never thought I'd start crying while watching a plague inc speedrun :')
Yeah I was not expecting that at all but it's good to hear from someone right?
Literally same Jesus I was not ready for that
why though?
@@baldcadaver3685 Go to 57:37 and you'll understand
@@baldcadaver3685 during that gibberish segment at like the 52 minute mark.
I love playing this game and seeing no one left alive in the countries, looking at the map menu and it’s just like “US has been eradicated, Canada has been eradicated” or w/e and seeing the locations in the pictures going from there being a bunch of people to completely run down and deserted visually showing you that no one is left alive.
Also I just love the game’s music. It’s got that perfect touch of unnerving and spooky for a game where you’re playing as a disease trying to wipe out humanity XD
The Planet of the Apes trilogy, in my opinion, is actually one of the best movie trilogies out there. It's not without its flaws, but every entry is a super solid movie in its own right and unlike other trilogies that are notorious for DRASTICALLY dropping off in quality in the later installments, this one holds strong until the end, with an emotional finale if you've watched from the start. As examples of other trilogies that I think handle themselves extremely well I'd list the Hunger Games and How to Train Your Dragon trilogies, with Maze Runner being pretty dang solid overall though with a few more blatant flaws than the others. Long story short, if the premise interests you, I definitely would encourage giving PotA a watch :)
59:11 im pretty sure ive built memories around pictures and recordings from when i was younger, so that was very relatable. neat to see someone talk about it
The entire world: *gets infected*
Greenland: "We don't do that here"
What happens if you have exactly 1 survivor? I mean, theoretically, if there are 2 survivors, they COULD MAYBE repopulate the planet, so it makes sense you'd lose in that scenario, but if you have 1 lonely guy left wtf is he gonna do
He's gonna clone himself
If it's a woman you got artificial insemination from sperm banks. If it's a guy then you'd have test tube babies. But it'd have to be a smart person lol
1 lonely woman can theoretically restart the population, 1 lonely guy prob cant do shit

“But is it a good movie? Tell me in the comments”
It’s SO GOOD. That trilogy isn’t the kind of thing I’m usually into, but I ADORE those films. There is so much love and care put into the story telling- they are shockingly poignant- it caught me really off guard since I didn’t expect it, but I’m dead serious. Definitely worth checking out!
And while I’m here.. I’ve been lingering for awhile on your channel and I always really love your runs! I’m a huge fan of speedrunning, and it’s tons of fun seeing your casual commentary alongside some genuinely impressive gameplay! You make some fantastic stuff! Keep up the good work and I hope you have a fantastic day ^-^
This game always makes me anxious and worried about a random plague breaking out in the world but here I am watching anyways. Love you!!!
Listening to the part about the candy, the way you described it immediately reminded me of the striped aniseed hard candies.they have a pretty distinct smell and taste, and it's also a spice so you would be able to smell it randomly. Probably not right, but just what I thought.
God am I excited for an hour long video! Only downside to watching speedrun videoes is that they’re so short lol, keep up the great work!

regarding the candy smell talk, when i was young, there was this raspberry/strawberry sugar candy in the local store where i lived, that just dissapeared one day. then 15 years later i started my apprenticeship at a car painting/damage company where one of the polishes we used smelled exactly like that candy and brought back so many memories i har forgetten about over the years
did you lick
Actually, the topic you shared about the "manufactured memories" is truly fascinating! Your personal story, though 'fake' memory, really got me thinking. It's incredible how our memories can be shaped and influenced, especially at such a young age.
Just a while ago, a friend and I were reminiscing about a trip we took, and through our conversation, some details seemed to get embellished or altered. It made me realize how susceptible our memories are to suggestion, not only in childhood but also in adulthood.
I wonder how often this happens in various aspects of our lives. It's intriguing to consider the malleability of our recollections.
something ive liked as a plague inc player is the little notch on the infectiviry bar for a country showing what i call the "point of no return' where the infected population is so large it only takes a few seconds for the country to go from
I never realize how quick you can play this game or how long the whole thing actually was.
Even at 10:52, you’re already 3 plagues done.
I also love hearing you talk! And I also needed that bit of encouragement so thank you. I always love watching your videos
the sudden love message at the end was so lovely and sweet. Thank you
A little thing to note- Severity increases the number of DNA points you get from red bubbles, so upgrading some symptoms early on is a great way to get more points.
Fun fact: severity does more than make you get noticed faster. The higher your severity the more DNA you get.
You can easily notice in the parasite run that he gets something like 4 or 6 DNA per bubble when normally you get 1 or 2. That's the severity.
I love the little tangent about memory during the Vamp plague. I have a couple different "memories" where its not something I actually remember but I've heard and told the story so many times it may as well be a memory. Cool to know others experience that :)
I enjoy playing this game on casual when i am having a bad day and naming the plague after myself. There is something empowering about seeing has deztroyed the world
15:46 Genetic Drift does effect all traits in any category, the “Stasis genes” make the cost of the traits in a category increase slower.
I’ve always been curious, do you keep all your route notes for these games? You could be the biggest speed runner help website ever if you did and uploaded them lol
another thing about severity, is that, a really high level of severity does make the labs shut down faster, at the endgame where ppl are about to die, you can get progression of healing alted in some countries as early as 65% deaths, while usually it's just a bit later
This was a fun speedrun! :D I've never managed to beat some of these outside of easy mode. Also, I absolutely understand what you mean re: those memories- I'm not sure if the memory of my family and I bringing home our puppy Ralph when my bro and I were 4 is a legit memory or, like you said, a manufactured one. Brains are odd. (And re: that candy! I have such distinct memories of my Gram having The Best Candy as a little, but trying the same candy as an teen/adult was underwhelming, RIP.)
It's interesting seeing shadow virus speedruns because I always learned to play it super slow and steady because if you don't trigger the actual infection and instead just sit in one place farming until you have like infinite points, you can basically just win every time
The fact that you mentioned the memories of someone telling you what happened while you were much younger... yeah, I have my own version of that. I don't have a vivid imagination that I remember it through my own mind... but I still remember it because of how many different times it was told. It starts like this: We lived in Italy because our dad was military. My older brother wanted to eat fruits... and saw a dish on the menu that translates to 'Fruits of the Sea'. He saw fruit and got it... found out it was seafood. Guess what my baby ass self decided to do? I ate all of it. I kept making a face that told everyone 'Bleh, I hate this' before I went back and have more.
Fun fact: I actually like seafood now, so...
Awesome listening to you talk man! I am sure Lucky had a great life with you guys! Great content ofc.. keep up the grind
Brother that "just know you're loved" hit different
Tips: its a good idea to get more severity in early game of mega brutal since it gives you more dna per bubble popped
I love the little appreciation and love bits you give randomly in videos ❤ It really means a lot to some people to hear that, at the very least as a reminder.
I also loved the memory parts lol. I don't have fake memories myself from stories people have told me from before I could remember (though I've heard many), but I do have memories no one else remembers lmao.
I remember waking up in my bed on my fourth birthday, getting dressed, walking to the kitchen, and my mom was there with a white decorated cake with a big ol' 4 candle on it, she wished me Happy Birthday lol. The memory just ends there for me kinda, but my mom doesn't remember this at all, except she remembers the cake, but doesn't remember any decorations besides the 4 candle.
First time i'm looking at ur videos... And i must say i fell in love. U got some great speech, some loving parts, and some fun. What more to ask for ?
I'm staying, and i'll enjoy it ! Thx man !
higher severity gives more dna points when popping red bubbles, can use it as a tactic in some runs, and if you get high enough severity, even if you don't kill, can still cause people to work on cure, just a bit slower, and can still cause people to close boarders, airports and ships
at around 57 minute mark. Thank you Speezy. You make my life better even when times are difficult. We appreciate you and know you are loved just as much as we are.
Hell yeah, i loved this game. I could never get past virus though. (The second one, not the first one hahah) One thing a lot of people dont know you can sell traits back for DNA. So if you get a random mutation that you dont like, you can get rid of it. (He does this during the simian flu.) Also, madagascar and greenland were always the worst for me
I had a good strategy that when id get any symptoms, you can delete them for DNA to use somewhere else, and id put it all into infection. Then once everyone was infected, id take all the DNA back and put it all into symptoms to just watch everyone die hahaha
i also did that... these days it can cost dna to unevolve, though, so i wouldn't recommend doing that ^^;;
@@catboytavi Oh really?? That sucks. That was my go-to strat hahaha, maybe it was too OP
It kinda depends on difficulty and the disease. But yeah. Most of the time it costs dna to unevolve.
This guy just hit us with a random piece of eazyspeezy lore and then proceeded to say the most relatable thing ever
Wasn’t expecting a very kind affirmation from Speezy during the common Vampiric Plague and it made my day ngl
Hey, you're the most entertaining speedrunner on the platform rn. I never watch any speedruns but I watch you alot because you talk alot and explain every strat. I really enjoy listening to you ramble about stuff :D
As a kid I never even managed to finish the virus stage so its kinda satisfying seeing this now. Patience and strategy were not my strongest suit :))
I love how by the end of the run there was no more speedrun tech to talk about so he just rambled about random thoughts
From playing a lot of plague inc, I think I know how the research bubbles work, popping them doesn't slow down cure progress, but if you miss one then it jumps up like 3% which is very scary sometimes
Congratulations man you deserve it! Keep up the good work!
Man, I love this game, it's rare for me to watch a full one hour video, amazing video as always!
Excellent video, very entertaining. Especially by the end there with the unexpected ramble.
The thing that always makes me lose in this game is not timing the lethality very well. Often times you get lucky with the transmission early in the game, but many people don’t know how to correctly capitalize on it.
Always up to the best of speed runs
Genetic drift does affect everything, which makes mega brutal so difficult. You can pick sympto-stasis, patho-stasis or trans-stasis, but not all of them at once, so you still have to be quick because everything is going to cost more and more
i was sleeping when your video start playing and you just put me out of my sleep on 57:30 when you start talking about "random stuff" and it was a very pleaseant wake up
thank you
A strategy that I found out while using prion is to go all out on the random mutations.
If you develop a lethal mutation too early you can just undeveloped it by using DNA. Focus on water transmission and temperature resistance to be as infective as possible in places like Greenland. Once you hit all those countries though. Dump everything into lethality. Get combinations of mutations that make your plague even more lethal.
Once people start dying, focus the funds on research resistance. From there, you just watch and save up points while your plague just keeps mutating.
Definitely my favorite plague type by far.
I like how it changed from Eazy documenting the game to sharing his memories
the random affirmation of being loved caught me so off guard, but thank you
59:57 fun fact: the pathway that connects your smell sensors to your brain is actually the only pathway that goes directly from the sensor to your amygdala (other sensory pathways have to go through the thalamus first before getting to the amygdala) which is why smell triggers memories attached to emotions much more easily and strongly
59:10 I agree with you on this. The oldest memory I can think of is me being in my mother's arms but I'm pretty sure it's a fake memory since I feel like I developed that memory way after my birth. I even remember some instances and memories which I think I made when my mother told me stories of my childhood and then later thought that it was exactly like that. There are a lot of these in my mind, and they're all hazy so difficult to say what's false or true.
Your speed running skills are so good, its sickening
It's like his skills are infectious
I can't even imagine how he coughs up that much skill
So while watching this I was playing plague inc on my phone, just relaxing. I was listening yet sorting out at the same time, yet my attention was fully grabbed when I heard you mentioning a dog named Lucky. I have a dog named Lucky (he's currently snuggling up to me). I just found it interesting that we both had/have a dog with the same name.
I’m so thankful for this video. I listen to that video every night to help me fall asleep because your voice is so calming. I don’t think I could sleep without it. Thank you so much
Genetic Drift does affect all things you can buy with DNA.
Also Severity, on top of increasing the chance of people noticing the plague and starting to work towards curing it, also increases the DNA you'll be getting from red and orange DNA bubbles, which is part of the reason you want to get it.
No I did not expect the wholesome sweet message near the end but I’m very happy to hear it :) thanks speezy
i like the tomato anus style positivity shout out. it’s always nice to hear even when i do start to expect it. it’s important to hear those types of things especially in todays world, and a chill video like this that people would probably watch to escape from life is a great place for it. appreciate it
yes, i do remember smells 15:18. on time i had this really good chicken noodle soup at a restaurant and it just pops up out of nowhere sometimes
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
The smell memory thing happens because the part of your brain that processes smell is very close to the part that saves memories, at least as far as I know.
57:56 I came here to watch a speedrun and ended up questioning the way our brains work and the fact that I think I remember many things I didn't even experience
Same. My parents told me a fake story and then I somehow created a fake memory of it then I was surprised to know it never happened
this is a great vid!!!! keep them coming!
I'm so glad you played this game! :D
I love using plagues to eliminate man kind
In game of course
*whispers* now where’s that norovirus
I think 5 or so years ago, I was finally able to 5/5 every disease on Mega Brutal, with the exception of the Simian Flu. Forgetting how annoying it was, I tried to do all this without using walkthroughs/guides of any form. But, Fungus was by far the hardest one out of all the diseases and took me an uncountable amount of tries of constantly optimising and trying to figure out the best timing for every symptom and upgrade, and so on. You have to be so awfully pinpoint and careful with fungus it’s beyond frustrating.
This video was pretty satisfying because a lot of the tactics you were using were the same ones I figured out when I first played the game, like Saudi Arabia being a really good starting spot, going for birds, water, and air travel first, though admittedly I fumbled a bit because I was a kid and dumbly lost to Greenland often because I didn't really get the temperature resistance thresholds >->
Damn an hour long vid
You deserve the record man 👏👏
