Just a small tip: If you get the "foreign rival supporting insurgents" action prompt, get the foreign relations, but don't use subtle pressure right away. It goes up over time so instead of having 0% chance of slightly cutting funding of insurgents, it goes up to 4-5% by the end of the timer. It's not much, but there is literally no reason not to do it that way. In fact, you should always wait until the timer runs out for the maximum chance, unless it already is 100%.
It can get the whole 5% in the time it takes the decision to time out? Lol, why is PC version so casual compared to unbalanced bs that was the mobile game? Ah yes, I forgot, because nobody would pay for that shit otherwise and there aren't refunds and review bombing on mobile:(
I get 5% on the mobile game. But it succeeds less that 5% of the time ahhaa. I've only had it successfully work first go once, and I've played a lot of games... Insurgents disrupt the elections way more often than advertised too.
you shoul wait out the timer whenver it appers. no reason not to. coalition soldiers homesick and crying for mommy? wait them out till it forces you to make a decision, therby gaining a few weeks extra. airstrike problems, wait it out till you have more cash. there is literally no singular reason to not wait anything out unless it gives you reputation and you are on 2 or 3 rep(or its a peace deal and you are losing big time)
@@normalchannel2185 coalition soldier home sending is actually the only scenario where you should tell them to leave right away, unless you already plan on giving them the extension. If you don’t want to extend them, they can accidentally enter a fight where a timer will run out in the middle of the fight and then you’ll lose reputation right away. Maybe the only time where this isn’t true is when insurgent are suppressed by other units and your coalition unit is giving them support
i love the idea that you can have a turret that explodes with enough force to kill all the insurgents inside the area it is placed in then place that bot into a civilian center to increase support level
We all know that civies LOVES explosions. That's why the US has overwhelming support from Middle Eastern countries they bombed, and Japanese agreed to stop the war with US after the atomic bombs, because its cool af and they love the US😂

i dont like "care bot", i dont want a turret telling me a joke seconds before it spontaneously combusts even though it miraculously kills only insurgents
I sorta feel like the turret should come with some downsides. Maybe an event where it accidentally fires on civilians, requiring the player to take them offline for a short time, or decrease their effectiveness to save reputation. Maybe this turret feature could stick to a new governor if it was nerfed a bit.
Or better be similar like the garrison where you have to carefully choose where to build and if it get destroyed you lose reputation or something like that
Maybe. I do think it's pretty balanced in terms of the scenario, because split and run exists, but if it was in vanilla under a particular governor, then yeah, maybe a chance of a negative event (reduced/removed by care bot, obviously) where it shoots someone you don't want it to (probably just the same event mechanics as with airstrikes hitting civilians). Maybe have it cost a dollar or 2 to deploy each time. You do have to account that this does remove garrisons, and garrisons can be pretty powerful esspecially if you upgrade them, so thats another balancing factor.
yeah, maybe there is a glitch in the software that results in the turret firing on civilians, or even the possibility the turret being hacked by the insurgents and having to either hire counter hackers or simply take the turret offline until the hacker can be found and killed. having downsides with using the turret is extremally interesting.
Imagine you'd have an automated turret outside your house, at crossroad, near highway entrance, at your gas station, at the grocery, at your work, at subway station. And that thing follows you with thermals, motion scanner and microphones. You walk past it and it looks at you the whole time. With a barrel of loaded machinegun. And you know that it runs on some unknown software that isn't allowed anywhere in the world, certainly not in the country that now occupies yours. Do you feel like supporting these people? Do you feel that your future is stable? Do you feel safe? Then what kind of reputation and support growth can you talk about while it is deployed?! This thing should be tanking both for you even without accidents. After them, it's basically sabotage and rioting to make you remove these discount terminators away from people's families and especially kids.
This is why in emergency rooms, you get chastised if you say that it's a quiet night. The moment you say that, a bunch of people with life-threatening injuries come in.
@@m--e 1)mobile was abandoned long ago; 2)split and run is basically default way they retreat in mobile anyway. They don't split, but they can "retreat" in any direction... which is called infiltration when they simply ignore my frontline and get to my rearguard...
As masochistic as it sounds, imagine if there was a scenario that combined every scenario together and put it on the most difficult map to work with. I can imagine it being a final scenario as a send-off for the game getting its' final official update whenever that may be
Hearing that you're an engineer kinda scares me. Considering you wasted a turret to kill one insurgent when police would have easily handled it is exactly the kind of "finding a problem for the solution" that is causing so many problems in the world today...
Hearing you say that you played tf2 once warms my heart. I still play and love the game. Also, good work in this. I’m not sure I’d be able to do this myself, mainly since I don’t have the game.

Or is it just me and it's a bad idea?
Have you _SEEN_ the devastation of a Level 3 sentry? Set up a dispenser, stand behind your turret, get a medic, you're usually all set. Even more deadly if you have two or more engineers.

take a shot every time pravus assumes the mb desperate insurgent attack spawn comes from a camp mate you did an entire series of mega brutal guides how the hell do you not know how that works
a tip for anyone trying to beat this scenario because pravus apparently doesn't know how to use turrets properly: put the turrets in the zone the insurgents are attacking and not the zone they're running away to. they cannot escape from zones with turrets and will always get killed.
I just beat Desolate Fields on normal, here's a phrase to help Garrisons are temporary, Soldiers are forever* *you may still need to send coalition home
“If you now split and run tactics and know the tunnels you will not fear the result of hundred battles” Sun Tsu, Deserted Fields insurgency leader, 2009 y.
TIPP: Regarding the split and run, you should lift up the soldier who are deployed in the area from where they are fleeing and put them where they are going, then back again, because then they will stop going to that direction and you got another random chance for them to flee elsewhere.
Honestly, this whole "hey the player is winning lets just spawn a lot of enemies behind their back and undo all their progress" thing is the best deterrent from ever buying this game.
It just limits you from bludgeoning the insurgents into one particular corner, limits cheap play, encourages attrition rather than blockades - encourages policing and defensive movement
somebody should do the soviet Afghan war were mega brutal is impossible, this is because of no foreign help, unpopular government, soviets from the future, Afghans who only have British muskets, and maybe low reputation with some tribal armies joining the soviets.
Unless requested, it's not that great compared to other iniciatives. Yeah faster iniciative rollout is nice, but not enough for the cost and HUGE increase in corruption that brings in.
