How is this supposed to work exactly after you succeed more than once?

For example... I get bioterrorism used on me three times.

I know the first one will make you lose population each turn until it cures.

Then after 2-3 turns after the first cure, I get another cure message.

Then finally, after another 2-3 turns, I get yet another cure message.

So does the 2nd and 3rd bioterrorism succeeds do nothing? Lower pop gain?

it works just the same way as the first one.. Takes a few turns to cure each time.. So a person with 5 bioterrorism might risk up to 30 turns loss of population

bios stack.

so you cure one, but still have 2 more to cure.

you get same damage as 1 bio even though you still have 2 left to cure.

btw, why not ask this in ghq? :P

The thing is, I only get the "such and such population lost" until the first one cures. After that one, I gain population like normal without losing any. I would understand that if I kept getting population loss until the last one cures, but I don't lose population after the 1st one.

I do still get the cured message, but again, not losing population after the first one is cured.

It just means

BIO 1 - Cured on the 5th turn
BIO 2 - Cured on the 6th turn
BIO 3 - Cured on the 7th turn

I'm going to have to post when it happens again. I don't think I'm explaining it right.

How many of these stack?!

As many as you can succeed. The real question is.... is it worth stacking them if you can just cure them turn after turn.

How can you calculate the damage of a bio terror any ways? Can a country die from a bio attack?

Example, would a country with 0 spies get bio stacked by 5 countries with say 25 ops each, that's hypothetical 125 bio stacked. Could you kill it or make it very close to dead?

It also makes me wonder how many stacks would successfully shut down a countries production.

Well I did some testing out of protection... and I am not impressed....

Even when you bio someone under 1k land they gain population even though they are plagued. So there is no gaining a production crippling from bio terrors in the beginning of the game.

Ill keep checking out if there is any real good use of bio's. From a warring perspective it seems Stir Rebellions will yield more damage....

country can die to bio but its very very unlikely.

From what I am seeing regarding bio's, anything past 10-15 turns of population loss is the best. Anything past those turns is pretty much useless.....


Example.

Country A has 6000 land has been running turns to cure bio stacks. Currently its losses are under 25pop a turn while still having 42k+ population. 42k pop and loosing just 25 pop is not very optimal compared to standard killing methods.
