Abilities
Compare
Auto-Immune Support 1
Pathogen improves the immune system's defences. Other diseases find it harder to infect people who are infected with your disease
Auto-Immune Support 2
Pathogen greatly improves the immune system's defences. Other diseases find it harder to infect people who are infected with your disease
Benign Mimic
Unlock an Active Ability that forces a country to focus cure efforts on the other disease, whilst your disease hides
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
Corpse DNA 1
Gain a regular DNA income linked to the number of deaths your Pathogen has caused
Corpse DNA 2
Gain a regular DNA income linked to the number of deaths your Pathogen has caused
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
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 Domination
Pathogen becomes significantly more powerful - able to rapidly infect people who are already infected with another disease
Genetic Exposure 1
Other disease becomes easier to analyse in the lab. Easier to cure
Genetic Exposure 2
Other disease becomes easier to analyse in the lab. Easier to cure
Genetic Exposure 3
Other disease becomes easier to analyse in the lab. Easier to cure
Genetic Exposure 4
Other disease becomes easier to analyse in the lab. Easier to cure
Genetic Exposure 5
Other disease becomes easier to analyse in the lab. Easier to cure
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
Genetic ReShuffle 4
Multiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 5
Multiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Heat Resistance 1
Pathogen evolves to withstand hot temperatures and climates
