The following are strategies for the Non Starter achievement. Please feel free to add your own strategies, tips, and Q&A here:
Strategy 1
Recommended genes:
- Start the Necroa Virus in the USA.
- Evolve the transmission Saliva 1 and the ability Drug Resistance 1. This must be done within the first 60 days.
- Wait for a popup message which reads:
- DarkWater 'concerned' for missing geneticist
- Watch for two red News headlines:
- Darkwater denies containment breach in weapons facility
- DarkWater weapons facility shut down over security fears
- Save 44 DNA points and evolve the symptoms Insomnia, Fever, Photophobia, Delirium and Cytopathic Reanimation.
- Evolve the abilities Horde Instinct, Horde Mentality, Horde Vocalisation and Horde Pheromones.
- Avoid the popup message "Authorities can't protect from <plague name>" by using the active ability Zombie Horde to move zombies out of the USA whenever the number of zombies there exceeds 2 million.
- Wait for a pop-up message reading:
- DarkWater created <plague name>
- Evolve the transmission Segmented Genome.
- Wait for a pop-up message reading:
- DarkWater fails to analyse <plague name>
The achievement will now have been earned. - GamerSketch (Credit to StarViruZ at AppAddicted Forums)
Strategy 2
- Start the game with settings above, only with the Darwinist gene
- Evolve Drug Resistance 1 and Saliva 1 before 60 days
- Don't do anything to be on the safe side. Instead, play the waiting game and save DNA points for Cytopathic Reanimation. If a symptom mutates, devolve (max of 2 devolves)
- If everyone is infected, evolve Cytopathic Reanimation now! But if you reached the max of 2 devolves and a 3rd mutation occurs, wait until the cure is 60%, then evolve it.
- After few days or months of a zombie outbreak, a DarkWater popup will appear saying something about the zombies started in their laboratory. Now play the waiting game again and save 30 DNA points.
- When a popup appears and saying something like this: "DarkWater wants to analyze [name of virus]"
- (Optional) Save the game now if you want to achieve Dead End.
- Evolve Segmented Genome, a transmission.
- Now wait until a popup appears saying "DarkWater failed to analyze [name of virus]"
- Achievement Unlocked! Whether you lose or win the achievement has been won!
- IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Zombie population of USA must be under 4 million at all times or else a pop-up will say: "Authorities can't protect from zombies" meaning that you won't get the achievement no matter how long you wait.
- Use the Horde Pheromones ability to move millions of zombies out of USA to avoid this.
