PlagueBot
always start second

While player does their turn normally (the same way as playing Multi-player), PlagueBot only play through 3 phases for every turn, which are the following :
+
# '''Country Placement, '''similar with player's Country phase, except that PlagueBot only takes from the face-down Country deck. If there is no card left on the deck, then it will take the largest Country from the face up Country cards.
+
# '''Auto-Evolve, '''PlagueBot draws one card from the Trait deck, and put it on the leftmost space of its slide. Every turn, the Trait cards should be moved to the right and every new Trait card should be placed on the leftmost space, and the rightmost Trait card is discarded.
+
# '''Trait Control, '''PlagueBot do specific actions according to the Traits it has and the instructions on the bottom of PlagueBot slide. PlagueBot will do actions in order from the leftmost Trait card it has to the rightmost. If a Trait card has more than one trait, then PlagueBot will start from the upper trait first.
+
In the Trait Control phase, PlagueBot may do the following :
+
* '''Waterborne''', place a token in every climate suitable, connected country with a seaport.
+
* '''Airborne, '''place a token in every climate suitable, connected country with an airport.
+
* '''Cold Resistance''', place a token in every cold climate, connected countries.
+
* '''Heat Resistance''', place a token in every hot climate, connected countries.
+
* '''Infectivity,''' place a token to all climate suitable, connected countries.
+
* '''Lethality''', place a token in every climate suitable, connected country that the PlagueBot doesn't already infect. Then PlagueBot kill one largest, fully infected, and PlagueBot controlled country.
+
In the Trait Control phase, in some conditions, PlagueBot might not be able to do some actions, which is alright. But if the PlagueBot can't do anything in this phase, it is considered stuck, and will do one of the following :
+
* PlagueBot draws one Country card, put it on the board, and put a token on it. Then it process the Traits it has.
+
* If PlagueBot still unable to process any Traits after doing that, then PlagueBot will discard all the Trait cards it has and replace it with the new ones, and end its turn.
+
There is no Sudden Death Mode, but the game ends in 2 ways :
+
# If PlagueBot is stuck and unable to draw any new Country card, then it will automatically kills all fully infected countries controlled by PlagueBot, and end the game.
+
# If the player is eradicated, and there is no Country card left to draw.
+
+
==== '''Scoring''' ====
+
The scoring goes as normal but with some special rules :
+
# PlagueBot doesn't score from Trait cards, while player scores from Trait cards as normal.
+
# PlagueBot earns twice as many as the player would normally get from the End Game Bonuses.
