Abilities
Compare
Bubonic plague
Gain ability to infect lymphatic system and develop bubonic form of plague. Zoonotic and lethal
Cold Resistance 1
Pathogen evolves to withstand cold temperatures and climates
Cold Resistance 2
Lower intracellular water volume prevents freezing. Increased effectiveness in cold climates
Drug Resistance 1
Pathogen becomes resistant to class 1 and 2 antibiotics. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Drug Resistance 2
Pathogen develops resistance to class 3 and 4 antibiotics. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Drug Resistance 3
Pathogen highly resistant to all known antibiotics. Harder to develop a cure
Environmental Hardening
Pathogen develops hardened coating - becoming highly weather resistant and extremely comfortable in both hot and cold climates
Genetic Hardening 1
Pathogen becomes harder to analyse in the lab. Decreases future research speed
Genetic Hardening 2
The pathogen does not reproduce in lab conditions. Decreases future research speed
Genetic ReShuffle 1
Pathogen DNA strands reassembled. More work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 2
A new strain of the pathogen now exists, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 3
Multiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Hardened Reshuffle 1
Pathogen DNA structure reassembled and highly unstable. Significantly harder to develop cure and also slows research speed
Hardened Reshuffle 2
Pathogen DNA structure reassembled and highly unstable. Significantly harder to develop cure and also slows research speed
Heat Resistance 1
Pathogen evolves to withstand hot temperatures and climates
Heat Resistance 2
Pathogen avoids cellular breakdown in high temperatures. Increased effectiveness in hot climates
Pneumonic plague
Gain ability to infect respiratory system and develop pneumonic form of plague. Airborne and virulent
Septicemic plague
Gain ability to infect the blood stream and develop septicemic form of plague. Rare and very lethal
