Easy 'Assuming Direct Control' achievementInfect the remaining living population and unlock the 'Transcendence' symptom to get the 'Assuming Direct Control' achievement. 'Transcendence' is in the top left path of the symptoms list.
Easy 'Blind Genius' achievementThis requires Simian Neuro-Genesis. Gen-Sys must be researching on apes to cure the disease. Unlock 'Blindness', and 'Neuro-Enhancement 1, 2, and 3' to get the 'Blind Genius' achievement. It will be difficult to win afterwards because research to find the cure will be very fast.
Easy 'Chinese Nuclear Retaliation' and 'Russian Nuclear Retaliation' achievementsSome luck is required to earn these achievements. Start with any country. Evolve Drug Resistance 1 and 2 and any transmissions and non-lethal abilities, then infect the world until you reach the USA. Evolve your disease and make it lethal (no more than 10%). After a few months you may see a popup stating 'USA president taken ill', which is required for the achievement. Evolve the Insanity symptom, and Spallin should be elected instead of the Vice President. Spallin should threaten China or Russia. Evolve Paralysis. Spallin will nuke China or Russia, and the corresponding achievement will be earned.

Easy 'Did I Mean To Do That?' achievementStart with the Simian Flu on the Casual difficulty. Genes will not matter. The ATP boost might speed things up, but it is not necessary. Choose either the USA or Saudi Arabia. Progress as usual, popping DNA bubbles, until you have enough to evolve the 'Simian Neuro-Genesis', which should cost 15 DNA points at the 'Abilities' screen. Afterwards, you will get the option to Devolve it at the cost of more DNA points.
Easy 'Is It A Bird?' achievementUsing Necroa Virus, combine the Vampiric Hunger symptom (Cytopathic Reanimation + Anaerobic Resuscitation + Enhanced Sensory Integration + Temporal Lobe Manipulation + Cathemeral Shift) and the Bat 1 + Bat 2 transmissions to get the 'Is It A Bird?' achievement.

Easy 'Patient Who?' achievementStart a normal non-scenario game of Prion on the Casual difficulty. Prion can slow down the cure forcing a longer game. Start in Saudi Arabia. Then, evolve the following in order as soon as possible: Air 1 and 2, Water 1, Neural Atrophy 1, 2, and 3, Drug Resistance, and Genetic Hardening 1 and 2. Note: Devolve every mutated symptom as soon as it appears. Evolve the following symptoms: Coughing, Sneezing, Pneumonia, Cysts, Hyper Sensitivity, Abscesses, Insomnia, and Paranoia. You will have to wait at this point, devolving all mutated symptoms. Even if the symptom is non-lethal it must still be devolved. Immediately pop the cure bubbles as they appear. If the cure progress reaches 75%, immediately evolve all three Genetic Re-Shuffles. You will eventually see the message 'CDC teams hunt patient zero' followed after a few months by 'CDC teams close on patient zero'. Evolve the following symptoms immediately: Anaemia, Haemophilia, Internal Haemorrhaging, and Hemorrhagic Shock. They should begin killing the population at a decent rate. Do not have any more lethal symptoms, as you will need time for the final pop-up to appear. After nearly half the world is killed, the message 'CDC fails to identify patient zero' should appear, and you will get the 'Patient Who?' achievement.

Plague Inc: Evolved is a real-time strategysimulationvideo game, developed and published by UK-based independent games studio Ndemic Creations. The game is a remake of the developer's previous game, Plague Inc., for PC and consoles. In the game, the player creates and evolves a pathogen in an effort to destroy the world with a deadly plague. The game uses an epidemic model with a complex and realistic set of variables to simulate the spread and severity of the plague and has attracted the attention of the CDC.[1]

Gameplay[edit]
The core game of Plague Inc: Evolved is the same as Plague Inc. - the player controls a plague which has infected patient zero. The player must infect and kill the whole world population by evolving the plague and adapting to various environments. However, there is a time pressure to complete the game before humans, the opponent, develop a cure for the plague. The developer has said that the game was inspired by Pandemic 2, a browser-based Flash game released in 2008 by Dark Realm Studios.[2]
The game series has been praised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who said 'it uses a non-traditional route to raise public awareness on epidemiology, disease transmission, and diseases/pandemic information. The game creates a compelling world that engages the public on serious public health topics'. The developer of the game was invited to give a talk at the CDC.[3]
Differences from the original[edit]
- Screenshots of Plague Inc: Evolved from the Steam store.Cooperative and competitive multiplayer

- 'Body Scanner' - Shows how evolutions impact the human body
- End game replays, government priority indicators and new stats/graphs
- Better overall graphics
It also includes all of the expansion packs from the original Plague Inc. game.[4]
Development and release[edit]
Plague Inc: Evolved went live on Steam Early Access on 20 February 2014.[5]
The developer used 'almost half a million pieces of feedback and feature requests from players' to help him understand what players wanted from the game and is currently 'only 50 percent of the way through the original Plague Inc. design document'.[6]
A multiplayer mode, titled 'VS. mode' was added to the game on 1 December 2015. In this mode, players compete against each other to spread their own plague across the world, while preventing in-game humans from inventing vaccinations and cures and hostile diseases, controlled by another players from eradicating the player's own disease. The mode adds new genes, evolution and abilities to the game.[7]
The 1.0 release took place on 18 February 2016.[8]
