Madagascar has 29 paved airports.
How do you accumulate evolution points? Is it just random?
I just don't think stopping a pandemic as simple as saying "We're going to shut down the airports, seaports and borders"
Parasite should be the most visible, and virus the least.
The environmental resistance thing is pointless, real diseases aren't affected by the environment that easily.
Having to unlock the tiers is annoying.. Why not just add cost to each symptom.
Also the symptoms should be put into two categories, effects and reactions. Diseases don't "cause" you to have a fever, your body reacts to them by generating a fever. An effect of a disease would be something like fatigue or kidney failure.
Airborne should not be selectable unless coughing/sneezing is selected. When diseases are airborne it just means that tiny water droplets containing the disease are coughed/sneezed up, turning to an aerosol type state, infecting things like your hands or stuff you sneeze on.
I think there should be more carrier options like birds, dogs, cats, monkeys, etc...
It would be cool to have cannibalism as a trait also. So you can add shit together like Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Dementia and then Cannibalism to make a zombie disease. lol
Anyway
I think this game is supposed to be in-depth but it really is not.
