Hmm an interesting challenge and I'm sure it only works for casual. I'm a mega brutal player and some parts were annoying to watch, for example the insurgency start is twice as long and jesus christ, you should've been punished with that high of a corruption risk xd Inmega brutal once corruption ticks half way, you're losing 1 reputation per 2 months Also you should've probably refrained from screenshoting during recording, you can screemshot in the in recording too :b Well that's all, nice challenge

you might already know this, but I'll just say that in mega brutal, corruption increase is instant, in all other difficulties, it slowly ticks up until it's equal to corruption risk.
@@DaniPaunov yeah i noticed that in the graph that the corruption risk and the actual corruption happening is nearly identical, well.. Except if you purge the corruption or if you ude temporary crackdown as the smuggler governor

I feel ya friend, I beat the first two maps on mega brutal finally. I thought the Desert would be easy, but they almost never want to go into the desert at all
@@ColetheFlame01 i tried in desert on brutal cause i not have the premium version and is just ultra mega brutal i have lack of stability for just two zone who want diferent things
@@arstotkaninspector2nd932 easiest thing I can say for stability, get a couple jobs, a lot of healthcare and focus entirely on what they want and most of all, get the PR and Media office. you will easily double if not sometimes triple your support level from that one government initative alone. you have to get it otherwise you will never get enough stability to counter the insurgents easily.
Fun fact: On casual and normal the war police can deal with insurgents themselves as long as they are not outnumbered. Any insurgents sent to well protected area are likely to be exterminated by passive security level. On brutal (+mega), however, war police gets too lazy to fight back so they just hold them off. Even 1 wacky insurgent can capture a 450% secured area.
You came to your boss at Green tea and he wasn`t happy that you didn`t used international reinforcements,but then you show him that no foreign soldier nor civilian died(exept some dumb tourists who came climbing/hiking at mountains) and that everything was under control in only 8 years.I can imagine this country becoming new switzerland,but fully pacifist...Respect,big respect
disclaimer: I'm not a native english speaker, so excuse me for mistakes I need some tips : 1) i use national army also as manpower, but they rise up corruption, so in brutal games which troops are better: coalition ones or national ones? 2) is government managment more important than civilian initiatives in brutal games or not? 3) are job facilities more important than infrastuctures (which help troops to move faster and gain information ASAP)? 4) is better positioning the HQ in a big city or in the mountanis in brutal mode?
Believe it or not I’m not the most skilled player at this game You are better off asking r/rebelinc or joining the Rebel Inc discord than asking me I was only insane enough to try this ridiculous challenge
I just now saw your comment, so I’m probably late, but I’ll share some tips that could help you out if you’re still playing: 1) In the early game, you should focus on getting Coalition Soldiers, because they’re fast to train (unless you’re using a Warlord, he has a ready personal militia which consists of National Soldiers), and are more powerful in combat. As the game progresses, slowly start training National Soldiers, because Coalition troops don’t have an infinite service (avoid extending it, as it hurts your reputation). Don’t blow all of the Coalition upgrades, save at least one or two units for late game killing of the Insurgents. 2) Government management and civilian initiatives are probably equally good. If you don’t purchase civ initiatives, population will hate you because you don’t provide for them. But government management has crucial abilities like PR, Corruption Reduction, Outreach Office etc, all of these are essential. You need to have a healthy balance between the two, try to pay attention to the needs of the population. 3) No! Infrastructure is absolutely critical, if you have slow troops, you’re doomed. Jobs are important as well, to a degree, but it’s not always required. Road upgrades and travel logistics are vital if you want to stand a chance. But don’t do “this or that only”, focus on jobs as well. 4) HQ acts as a garrison, don’t forget this. Place it somewhere central, where it can spread intel collection in all directions, and place it somewhere where it cover a lot of neighborhood areas, where it can provide a good combat support to your troops. I hope that this helps.
@@andytoskovic Yeah, I'm still playing and appreciated a loro your tips. My strategy is this: 1) getting info 2) train 1/2 coalition troops 3 decrease corruption ans invest in Police 4) found water ans hospitals/schools 5 train 4 coalition troops (in two differenti shots or training time becames too long) and logistico as soon I can, or eveng garrisons 5) I purchase local operators and build infrastructures or jobs initiatives 6) i found free elections, Universal Justice, PR, high-tech bombs for air raids This strategy works better with general, bit not Always with Economist or banker
@@darthvader5802 I’m glad you have a strategy of your own, I personally think that General is the worst governor in the game, while I love playing with the Banker and Economist.
@@quibby8627 but in normal mode when i try to stabilize and take care of the insurgent, the reputation was decreasing very quickly, even though i was successfully surround them
@@Vondular this was a strategy played on casual and with no army, it’s probably not the same strategy playing on normal On normal, and trying to do this challenge it’s a lot more difficult, probably impossible I recommend using the realist advisor if you have consistent issues with reputation loss due to lack of stability
@@Vondular buy 1 intel buy effective procurement and buy outreach office after that wait 2 months then fund civilian initiatives or buy anti corruption or get a pr
It’s casual and because I am smuggler Corruption actually helps me a little and it’s just too expensive to purchaser early game compared to the more important initiatives
I also tried beating the southern desert on normal difficulty by completely banning the use of the coalition, which means no drones or airstrikes either. I think it's simply not possible above normal difficulty because of how long national soldiers take to train without the coalition.
It is possible to beat even Ultra Mega Insurgency on Mega Brutal without the usage of the Military tab, but it requires bug abuse. I actually beat UMI MB but I had to abuse the dementia bug (insurgent attacks are canceled upon loading a save)
All three of them are recommended for this run, because its the destruction of security initiatives that kills off insurgence, militia also rolls out relatively quickly which is very important for preventing early game spread
The name is a bit misleading. Air bombers are still army units even if they cant be controlled by player. Nice challenge, but I would not call it "no army".
(disclaimer: i am not a non native english speaker) From what I have learnt, what you are refering to is the military. An army, ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. Air bomber belongs to the air force, so the name is correct.
@@jasonieong7772 "In broad usage, the terms armed forces and military are often treated as synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces." (c) Wikipedia. It is still a misleading title because when somebody is making a video with such a title about a game like this, they make a presupposition that they will win peacefully. For example, in Russia we don't have a specific word for "military" (it's synonymous with army); all of our forces (ground, naval and air force) are called "army"; if someone is conscripted - he "goes to the army", not "to the airforce" or "to the navy". You need to specifically ask "which branch of the army are you into" to get the answer if he's a pilot or a trooper. So when somebody says "is it possible to win with no army" he's not implying "is it possible to win with no ground military units". The first thought of a person pressing to view this video is "winning without usage of lethal force or military". You may be right on the technical side of wording if we're speaking about USA army only but... Really? It's like saying "how to clean your car without water" and receiving an answer "well, technically speaking raindrops are not the same water we usually use to wash cars so I'm right". It's ridiculous.
