MOST IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAYS/TLDR FOR THE REST OF THE GUIDE: Seriously, this guy is amazing, he beat every map with every governor on mega brutal, then got bored so he did all these crazy challenge runs. I absolutely need to give credit to K 2 for a lot of the stuff here, his youtube guides were what got me through mega brutal. If this guide just isn't clicking for you, I'd recommend watching a youtube runthrough. Once again, don't fear the restart button. But if you lose a ton of reputation to insurgents or lack of stability, you'll have no money and won't be able to buy many upgrades. If you stabilize zones and contain the insurgents early, you'll get money from having both stable zones and high reputation, allowing you to buy tons more upgrades. More reputation means more money, more stable zones means more money. Tying into the above - your annual budget is based on two things, the number of stable zones you have, and your reputation. Don't be afraid to restart and try a new strategy if things are going poorly. But if you lose a bunch of reputation early on to lack of stability or insurgent attacks, it can be almost impossible to make a comeback. If you do well early on, your operation's power will snowball, and victory will come easy. The key thing to remember when playing is that this game has a very strong "unstable equilibrium" element. If you're seeing -1s to your reputation and you don't know why, this screen will tell you why. It'll also show you how much of the population likes you/hates you, and what your sources of reputation loss are. It'll give you a birds-eye view of the map, showing every zone's current local support level, how close they are to stabilizing/turning green, and what they need. Confused about why things are a certain way? Click on the "region" tab at the bottom of the screen. You will find your money lasts much longer this way. Its best to buy at or below 5% inflation, but if you have an urgent need for an initiative its okay to buy at 6-10%. Be sure to balance between the three tabs, as well. Its better to buy 1-2 initiatives at a time. You burn tons of money to inflation this way. A very bad habit to fall into is to wait until you have a bunch of money, then spend it all at once. A big mistake new players make is spending their initial amount of money carelessly, shooting up inflation and wasting their money. Slightly reworded section on corruption/corruption riskīefore we really get started, some very general tips. Gave zone concerns their own segment and added new information Factual error, police chief does NOT kill 2 insurgent fighters, only one. Added zone intel and current insurgent zones controlled to the section on what affects insurgent fighting power Reworded some corruption sections again, added new info on reputation loss from corruption Added a section dedicated to the shameless plugging of my own custom scenarios General proofreading/polishing of the guide Added a new section on general tips, moved some portions of the introduction that didn't fit very well Rewrote democratic transition section to properly emphasize how bad of an idea democracy is Rewrote some parts of the government section, the priorities were too skewed/rigid before and didn't give a fully accurate picture of what each initiative does Added a note on stable/insurgent zones "radiating" supporters/hostiles Swapped out the urban stabilization strategy for garrison/soldier stabilization strategy Rewrote some parts of the civilian section based on newfound knowledge. It was due for a polishing, so I gave it one: There's been a few updates but luckily the majority of the guide held up through the changes. As your operation must be balanced between these three categories, so too will this guide! This guide will be separated into three main sections: Civilian, government, and military. Following this guide should allow you to win almost always on Normal, and from there, you can keep refining your strategy until its good enough for the higher difficulties. If I tried to cover EVERYTHING in this guide, it'd be massive! So this guide is going to focus on giving you a strategy you can use to win - what order to buy things, and how to manage your limited military and financial resources. ![]() Most of them, you're going to have to discover yourself, through experimentation or asking the community. Rebel Inc has a LOT of complicated underlying mechanics, and the tutorial only shows you the absolute basics. But it is possible to beat, and even to master! This guide is here to help bring you from seeing a red screen every game to being able to comfortably beat Brutal, and possibly even, one day, Mega Brutal.
