Plague Tip - Get familiar with the World Map

Plague Tip #1 – Get familiar with the World Map

Plague divides the world up into 58 different regions.  Many regions are individual countries such as United States, New Zealand, and Russia but other countries, often small and poor are lumped together into regions such as Central Africa, East Africa or the Baltic States.  Sometimes a single country name will represent a region of more than one country. 

Different pathogen mutations have drastically varying levels of effectiveness based on the individual traits of the country such as wealth and climate. Because Plague Inc. is a “hyper realistic” game it is imperative that you familiarize yourself with these areas.  For each of the 58 areas you should learn whether the climate is hot or cold, rich or poor ad urban or rural. 

Take time out to click on the information icon of a region.  To do this, click the regions name at the bottom of the screen and click the letter “i” in the upper left hand corner.  You’ll be presented with information such as that shown below.
