Hey everyone We have just released a new multiplayer balance update for Plague Inc: Evolved which addresses some of the feedback we have been getting from players. Fans of viruses and parasite will be particularly excited by this!

• Parasite tweak - Parasitic DNA theft buffed - parasite now steals 45% of opponent's DNA, up from 40%. Remember, your severity will increase as your opponent evolves so it won't be long before humans are out to cure you!
• Virus tweak - We found that the virus was devolving too often to get much use in competitive play. We have reduced the chance of devolving to 12% (from 14%) and also made it 5% harder to cure
• Bioweapon tweak - Bioweapon continues to be one of the more popular disease types in VS mode - we are making it 5% easier to cure to prevent it becoming too dominant.
• Benign Mimic tweak - One of the most popular active abilities in VS mode - we are making a few changes to its duration and impact to ensure that other strategies have enough room to breathe. Will keep an eye on this and see if more action is needed.

• Bioweapon ~5% easier to cure
• Virus ~5% harder to cure
• Virus devolve chance now reduced to 12% from 14%
• Parasite now steals 45% of DNA, up from 40%
• Benign Mimic lasts 5 days longer
• Benign Mimic starts slower and increases in strength over time
• Daily cure impact of an individual benign mimic now capped (at ~5% of total cure requirement)
• If immune shock used in a country without opponent - has lesser impact on infectivity

• Fixed Edge case on publish for Scenario Creator
• Minor Load/Save Fix
• Fix for edge case of unlocking Official Scenarios
