How to unlock the Fungus Victory achievement

    For some like myself this one was a tad difficult for me to get. One of the best things to keep in mind is that fungus has a hard time infecting long distances so the key here is going to be upgrading the air and water trnasmission. I found it to be the easiest starting off in Madagascar. From here it was all my points directly into transmission and getting my fungus out here. You want to devolve everything but coughing (coughing allows for more spread) this will allow you to infect people but yet stay under the radar. As soon as you infect everyone which you will no worries as long as you just stick to transmission use the rest of your points to make your fungus lethal organ system failure is one of the best ways, this will also unlock coma which will allow you to slow down the cure. As you wait for the population to die off you can the remaining points you may have left into changing the funguses DNA this slows down the cure. However for me killed enough people that all the goverments had fallen so no worries. Good luck

    I spent many games trying to get this one to work. The main problem I had was that research vastly outpaced the fungus' capability. I did find a method that worked quite well. I may be off on some of the names of the traits, but they should convey adequately which ones you need.

    First, hopefully, you have the Darwinist and Ionized Helix. If you don't have these two unlocked, it just means that it will take you longer, but shouldn't affect the outcome.

    Starting country doesn't seem to matter much. Just make sure its got ports and land borders to help with transmission. Your first mutations should be the Bird 1, Rat 1, Cold Resistance 1, Heat Resistance 1, Water Transmission 1 and Antifungals 1. These will help your fungus get started off. Make sure to devolve any symptoms that you get randomly mutated. This will give you more DNA to get your fungus out there.

    Eventually, you'll have enough points to get Bird 2 and Rat 2 selected. Occasionally, you'll need to use a Spore Burst to get things going in other places. However, there should be a decent transmission just from the ships and birds. Keep devolving symptoms.

    If you make sure that your fungus is totally benign, no research work will be done for the cure. Keep time moving forward, popping bubbles as they come up, and storing up DNA points.

    Once the planet is completely infected, you can devolve your transmission traits along with the heat & cold resistance along with antifungals. You don't need them since everyone is infected. Make sure you have enough DNA points to get a large number of symptoms. Start buying whichever tree you want, just make sure to get the higher level symptoms.

    Your mortality rate should be extremely high at this point. It will outpace any research that can be done. Good luck!

    TaeglinWhat a pain in the ass achievement! The tip about Organ Failure was great. Maybe include a link to the Symptom Tree or just a list of the cheapest path to get to Organ Failure (http://plagueinc.wikia.com/wiki/Symptoms?file=Plague_fi....png).
