Info About Pandemic 2

Pandemic 2 is a strategy simulator about disease spread across the world. You design a pathogen and try to infect every country. The game runs in real time and shows flights and ships moving. Governments react to outbreaks with closures and emergency plans. Each run starts with a pathogen type. The choice shapes strengths and weaknesses.

Your disease gains points through new infections. You spend them on traits. Traits include symptoms, transmission routes, and resistances. Coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and organ failure change visibility and lethality. Air, water, insects, and rodents open new paths into regions. Heat, cold, moisture, and drug resistance help survival in harsh zones. High visibility triggers shutdowns and border controls. Early lethality stalls spread and leaves pockets untouched. Island nations often block late arrivals and ruin a run.

Successful play favors patience and subtle growth. Players often start in a transport hub and keep symptoms low. They push transmission first and avoid attention. They spread worldwide, then add lethal symptoms and close out the game. Resistances match climate and wealth in target regions. News events like droughts and earthquakes change spread routes and pressure timing. The loop feels clear. Map updates make each decision matter. Quick runs and random starts support replay across many sessions.
