Tactics for high score on Plague Inc

PAX-12 DNA Sequence: Complex

Difficulty: Normal

Disease Type: Parasite

Time: 1050 days

Cure Progress: 20% complete

Score Total: 36630

4/5 bio's

My tactic was basically the same. I also believe you get more bio's on brutal. Except I go for coma as well to make it harder to cure. Along with paralysis and paranoia, coming from the insomnia line mainly.

But to answer your question, I believe it is mainly calculated by cure progress. Just did it again in 635 days, but 52% cure progress (less resistance upgrade more lethality) and got 12k score with 3 bio's.

A test on brutal, also testing DNA points left over:

Complex

Brutal

Bacteria

2018 days

98% complete

6230pts

3bio's

To me this says that cure progress is still most important, as I had nearly 60 DNA points left over (it was quite hard to do that on brutal btw, barely did it (first try though ;)
