Rebel Inc: Custom Scenarios - On the Edge

hey there my name is pravis and welcome to More rebelling escalation custom scenarios the developers recently released a list of their favorite scenarios for the month of May and one of them caught my eye it is called on the Edge by ninth core the year is 2003 after they facing a loss against the insurgents the previous governor ran away it's my job to restabilize I'm going to have low reputation hustle population I'll be cornered every direction corruption and inflation are running rampant can things get any worse can I achieve success Against All Odds apparently this can be beaten in mega Brutal though it is going to be decently difficult and it's intended to be a pretty tough scenario which makes sense you're on the edge of defeat first rebelink scenario huh all right going for something hard right off the bat is pretty impressive and gutsy I'm not gonna lie so what do we want to go for as far as our starting advisors hmm we'll try mixing up a handful of different advisors here so I'll start with the Dr tribal Elder and celebrity all these are decently good we'll use a local politician to try stabilizing though this may be a bad idea and I might restart get rid of it it depends a little bit on the starting map situation and where the insurgents are this doesn't always work well in custom scenarios war hero could make sense if we're constantly under attack and a quartermaster might make sense as well so let's try playing this on mega Brutal might be possible we'll find out we're gonna call this one berserk Mars sure why not and here we are welcome to the Golden Sands close to collapse the former Governor ran away and we have been appointed will we be in the same boat oh I'm pretty sure we're in the same boat the question is can we have a different outcome all right so we do have two zones already stabilized down here uh that worked out pretty well what I was afraid of is that we'd find a situation where some stabilized zones are like way over here and it's literally impossible to defend them plus everything else but this seems to have worked out all right so if we locate right here for example this is going to give me a defensive boost in all the territory that's currently not under Insurgent control I guess that could make sense um sure let's go for that for now we actually already have a bunch of garrisons and I did get more not sure if that was intended or not here um I guess I mean if we started with three why get a fourth whatever fine we have a little bit of money at our disposal and two Coalition soldiers right off the bat doesn't seem that bad but let's see we do start with some telecoms and some roads we do have occasional training and we do have water all right that all makes sense we started off with things like the pr and media office we can get the achievement broadcast for some reputation if needed strategic communication obviously very very important uh let's see local employment Drive could be good in some cases the oil lobbyists additional deployment time whenever in a Zone with an oil derrick all right we have a few extra options down here civilian shakedowns for support foreign travel gain amputation but countries help out the Insurgency oh that seems terrible uh let's see blackmail the journalists and compulsory work so a few Desperate Measures which I'm hoping not to have to employ but that might still happen extra payment lose reputation but the Coalition soldiers can be extended using funds instead of reputation might become a necessity at some point I'm not going to deploy these guys immediately I'm going to kind of wait to see a little bit what happens unless we want to make an immediate push toward oral Derrick um that might be uh risky but you know if we can make an immediate push down over this direction and secure more funding that would be good because the last thing you want is the insurgents to hold on to all of this oil there are it looks like one two three four five six oil Derricks on the map eikes okay so if almost all those are held by the insurgents they're gonna have an absolute ton of power behind them that is going to be a problem and I'm losing reputation very rapidly thanks to the fact that they have so many connected zones right okay you know what that means uh it means you go for as many soldiers as possible you go for a huge surge and you try to knock some of them down because this is literally impossible to recover from as things currently stand [Music] um ooh actually wait a minute that is gonna be a problem what is this by the way increasing corruption risk yeah I'd love to get rid of things like that too let's try pushing up this way get an oil derrick taken care of there let's try pushing over here we're gonna try to get some support we're gonna have to find a way to get some extra reputation out here we did find a camp immediately that's interesting let's go secure an oil derrick uh I need to get reputation huh losing a lot of support level would really really really suck but um we may have to Blackmail the journalists to start just to keep myself alive honestly um there's going to be a specific way to win this isn't there and I'm not not going to know what it is right away am I new all right well let's get rid of things like these camps all right so that's getting somewhere let's try moving over here and see if we can get rid of one of these camps we did get rid of some well there's an ambush there so that's annoying we dig in an oil derrick secured over there let's try moving in directions to get the arms caches what I want to do is split these guys off a little bit but when you start off the game with this much and Insurgent activity it's really really hard to recover you know what I mean let's go for achieve broadcast uh we can go for public deception which reduces support level even further yeah that is that is an option if we can either stay alive we can do things like that uh let's see what else what else what else what else is there anything else that's going to easily say save me here um I mean we could pick up things like this to get the initiatives to roll out faster and it's not a terrible plan um um getting money I don't care as much about that I don't want countries to help out the insurgents so this is one way of doing it without losing what little support level I've got I don't know man I don't know um let's go for some anti-corruption let's get some strategic Communications for now trying to boost that up just a little bit um looking to see if there are any areas where we can try to punch in here a little bit let's see if we can save these guys here I do need more roads and stuff what are people asking for interstates well I mean okay not what I would call a high priority but thank you so we're gonna get rid of some of this corruption risk we're gonna reduce some of their strength the arms caches that's good peace is impossible peace is a lie there is only passion saith the Sith um okay so we got this taken care of let's try to get in here this is going to trigger an ambush which is a problem can I afford to do that or do I need to get over here and just support myself for a little bit that's the thing is I need to attack on so many different fronts right now if I want to have a chance the oil Derricks are all protected by ambushes it looks like so it's not easy to pull in here as much as you would think um all right let's think let's think local police expansion um I'm a civil assistance more soldiers I mean at this point what's a little corruption right what else we have here defensive equipment increase their combat strength can no longer die from Insurgent attacks increase their strength but decrease support level and same thing here intimidation so we're really playing as the brutal warlord here which I guess is fine and makes some sense um um well hmm I guess I guess we're gonna start by going for a little bit of extra roads and stuff but I might need to go for a little bit of extra oh the police actually took care of this well that's good all right then let's try to push in over here then um we're gonna get rid of this Camp we're gonna get it over here okay um Insurgent activity is burning down which is great actually looks like the Coalition soldiers are piling on pretty quickly here so let's see if you can start pushing these guys through a little bit more here um I hate the corruption that we're getting that is going to be a problem for sure the effective procurement would have been an option for us but not not for a little bit if I can get enough of these oil Derricks up and running we would in theory be able to get so much money that'll be okay maybe this works maybe it doesn't um can we get in over here okay we actually were able to kill a bunch of these guys they had nowhere to retreat you know something I didn't even check some of these modifiers this could make a big difference they never Retreat from fights okay so as long as we win fights we're reducing their numbers which is great uh reputation is low and hard to gain you don't say um insurgents can kill National soldiers that's dangerous though I wonder if that resets how often you have to pay them as the warlord that would be fascinating anyway the insurgents think they can make you run away too peace is not possible soldiers can't support wall fighting that's good destroying a camp gets reputation and funds okay very good to know and drones are better and also there's oil Derricks so knowing that drones are that good um if we can scan multiple areas that could actually make a big difference let's try pushing up this direction making progress that's good uh let's try pushing up this way if I can clear an entire half of the map and then Focus over here I might stand a smidge of a chance and the more these camps I find and destroy obviously the more reputation I get I do need to clear these guys out but for now they're kind of sitting tight which is great uh fighting over the oil yeah yeah that's good that's good um let's go ahead and get a drone up here okay we do not see a camp I do need to protect the city if possible I'm not sure we're gonna get here fast enough depends on if we actually got any uh policing or not let's get up over here and in theory this entire side of the map is going to be cleared out okay that's good that's very good let's get the travel Logistics to make people move around a little bit faster we are going to have ah dang it don't spawn over there we are gonna have problems at some points where we don't have enough stabilized zones but you know what this is is where having the two stabilized zones right off the bat could be making a huge difference for me and I just don't know maybe I'm preventing a huge amount of reputation loss because I chose those advisors and if that's the case well then I'm just a genius all right hang on let's go ahead and get this cleared out good good what do we have over here uh foreign rival right right that normal stuff let's go for the Foreign Relations office and we will apply some pressure and tell them to back the heck off so if this area is taken care of let's go ahead and start making a surround over here I'll clear these areas out get this Minefield out of the way then we'll clear these guys out of here then we can focus on a massive counter attack we actually might have a chance here guys somewhat um we might have a chance though do we want to go for the local employment drive it would be a way of getting a lot of support back in some zones yeah I think it's still worth it if we can get at least a couple of extra zones to stabilize early that would be great all right this area is getting cleared let's go ahead and move you down over here found a camp that's great that's more reputation every time I see those I'm happy remember these guys may be running off in this direction and that does suck normally because you never know where they're gonna go but because they never Retreat that actually makes my life easier but the whole Noah treat thing may sound awful but I actually find that to be a very helpful trait not a bad trade all right so this got all cleared out that's huge now we need to push over here and try to get ourselves another one of these oil Derricks get that figured out these guys are clear all right so now we're gonna push you guys forward like this and we're just gonna basically create a giant wall on insurmountable wall of troops and I definitely want to get rid of the Insurgent stronghold this is going to be important all right all right all right um people want health care and stuff that's fine we can definitely accommodate some of that dirt roads and stuff sure we can do that get more Health Care get more water inflation is absolutely insane in this particular map which is interesting uh we need reinforcements up over here because we are currently going to have some problems okay get down over here instead then that was unfortunate but okay um let's just get the reinforcements where I need them I'm gonna go ahead and apply a drone scan multiple areas at once okay we did not find any camps which is really what I was looking for one spawned underneath me over here which is just free reputation thank you for that one all right we'll go ahead and move forward over here we actually have a chance now I don't necessarily want to Corner the Insurgent so much that they start spawning camps all over the world but no no we can play with that we could also go with the extra payment thing and as long as I have money we'll keep the Coalition soldiers running forever and that's not a terrible plan gosh this inflation truly is atrocious I want this to come down so I can save myself a lot of money but it is it is abysmal man all right let's go ahead and increase the pay of the national soldiers I do not want them leaving me um if we see these Coalition soldiers leaving we might decide to go ahead and do the reputation but remember the more these guys fight actually now that I think about it the longer they stick around oh actually you know what yeah we should just be running here attacking and yeah if more camps spawn no big deal we'll just we have so many troops as long as we keep the Coalition soldiers here I don't have to worry about losing the money or the reputation and it's just a huge win across the board I think that makes sense I think that makes plenty of sense let's go over some more garrisons that's gonna make my life a smidge easier um I'm gonna protect right here where there is a city and a couple of oil Derricks this just makes sense to make sure that if anything does spawn we can deal with it drones find out what's over here no camps which means no more reputation for me that sucks all right Insurgent activity is looking fine now okay so do we not lose reputation to anything else because we had a really high corruption and I was kind of expecting to lose some from that we also have not got a lot of stabilized zones pretty far into the game but we are not losing any reputation due to that so I wonder if everything else has been disabled if that's the case even on mega Brutal this did just become a heck of a lot easier for me let's get those telecoms boosted up inflation be damned print the money and the money printer go burp all right so the Coalition uh plan on leaving soon let's go and get some extra payments and just have the option of using money instead and if I just sit on lots of cash due to the oil Derricks We're Not Gonna care so let's do a long extension with them it actually might make sense to get the oil lobbyist and what that does is means that I can move my Coalition soldiers into places like this and in theory they will want to stick around for a good long while I'll use my national soldiers in theory to ward off these guys as much as possible more subtle pressure would be good that did nothing okay that's fine uh what else we want to do what else we want to do we can go for the local police expansion which will make it harder for the insurgents to get any sort of purchase that wouldn't be bad we go for the blockades I'm gonna go ahead and do this because that generates more money and I need money right now more than anything else um and yeah I will get the local police uh expansion let's just do that so that if these guys pop up we have ways of dealing with them any signs of camps actually yes okay tell you what the Coalition soldiers should be able to help deal with this as long as it doesn't fall let's go deal with the camp where it is right now hey dang it I thought you were gonna stick around because of oil Americans like oil right those are who the Coalition soldiers are I'm pretty sure whatever keep it on that reputation we could still very much lose here corruption is now active Okay well all the more reason to be dealing with things like these camps wherever they pop up and enjoy that extra little tiny bit of reputation uh we could also go for things with the democratic transition not a bad time to do that while the insurgents are not very strong on the map and since corruption is a threat let's go ahead and grab some anti-corruption and let's go ahead and prioritize those elections that gets me a tiny bit more reputation there we go all right so we're basically just playing whack-a-mole right now with these guys um long extension on you as well if I lose a couple of Coalition soldiers it's not the end of the world it would just be very helpful if I could deal with that let's get some civil assistance by the way to start rolling out a few initiatives here and there especially in these oil areas the more I stabilize the better things are going to be people want more water we can definitely do that so that the people want education no mostly just water initiatives let's go for lots and lots of water all right lots and lots of water you can never go wrong in a desert area lots of water is good we did get the we did not get the compulsory work let's do that yes it reduces support level but rolling out lots of initiatives right now is probably going to be a key to Victory including things like I don't know let's say some roads going for more water let's go for blah blah blah blah uh let's go for a pay bonus that loses a little bit of money these guys are still cheaper than Coalition soldiers though so it's not a huge deal let's go for the full elections no threat of loss which means we get five more reputation get down of them y'all get down of them yeah and we are gonna drone you in a minute um hang on let's see we'll do some more subtle pressure 61 chance that's fine I really need these guys to move a lot faster than this though that is going to become a headache at some point can you get some better roads please yes interstates will do that just go foreign for isolated communities and they're starting to spread okay hang on you need to get over here now it's just a nearby oil derrick it's fine and the Drone actually fired exactly where I wanted it to that's nice so I didn't even have to use my power up let's just try to fight these guys and kill them real quick boom boom bada bada boom let's go for a pay bonus on you it's gonna get increasingly more and more expensive as time goes on we're gonna get rid of that camp that gets me above 20 reputation over there let's move over this direction blah blah blah blah blah go boom thank you we could of course you know go for things like the air strikes and that would also be a very easy way of quickly getting rid of some of the Insurgent camps but I'm just not worried about it right now civil integration to speed things along and you know what since we're relying on a lot of Coalition troops let's go for the human terrain system so we don't have any antagonizing going on in these areas so these um oil Derricks actually are able to build up since uh you know so far the local employment Drive seems to have done absolutely nothing all right education roads keep going with all that still making lots of money thanks to all the oil this is huge let's go ahead and start moving up this direction uh let's do a quick Camp you know what you're about to arrive so we'll let you arrive here first then we'll move up this direction and get rid of a camp over here good good good good good good good all right mega Brutal I laugh at you so far this is fine I can handle this I am almost a professional almost I don't know it's almost as if we've been playing rebelink for a very very long time uh how are you on reputation because I lost a little bit the lack of stability yeah we have not stabilized any more zones in a while and that is very concerning to me for sure um okay maybe maybe I was tooting my own horn just a little bit early there uh right we need to stabilize some zones quickly if I'm not you oh wait no never mind hang on get these back up over here if we are not actively um fighting insurgents we should be using National soldiers to try and roll out initiatives faster and get some of these zones to stabilize nice and quick um move you here move you down here for example come on guys roll out initiatives I'm oh my God the Insurgent activity at 1.67 that's insane how wait a minute they even taking over the entire Zone how did I have so much who even knows all right good thing I am not spending reputation on these Coalition soldiers or we would not be allowed to do this okay that is all I am saying uh what else do people want no idea tell you what let's go for um what would be good what would be good let's go for bigger roads let's go for electricity okay inflation's still abysmal I am aware of this but we're trying to use things like electricity so we can roll out initiatives even faster in some of these areas let us gain some supporters hopefully not increase corruption we did anyway well of course we did why wouldn't we um yeah lack of stability I'm losing a bunch per month now all of a sudden come on stabilize anything here guys okay one come on one more one more just one more Zone that's all I'm asking for we can buy a little bit more if we need to but we're really close I'm super close to winning this come on stabilize literally anything I'm begging you here um can we keep some guys here I guess we could yeah we should be fine I'm at five four stabilize thank you does that help not enough come on come on all right did go down a little bit I need a couple more a couple more zones okay this is not over yet not by a long shot um let's go over here you know what we could do the garrisons might help improve relations a fair bit so let's do that that's going to stabilize these two three zones over here a lot faster especially since for some reason how'd this even happened we have two garrisons on the same tile no one even though ah hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on a Zone got captured get that okay that was close I saw the city get snagged because apparently the police was not set up over here we will drop down to zero and I saved it I think with a public deception ooh that got close okay um that's not supposed to happen let's use a drone here for a little bit of a combat boost kill these guys quickly another Garrison all right let's place it on the city over here um because I want to get some free Support over here uh we stabilize another Zone that's great how are we looking gave myself a small heart attack there I'm not gonna lie small heart attack very very small um that's taken care of let's go to these cities and try to boost them where we can this Zone should be done very soon that's unfinished good all right now we're back over to 23. Frick me yo um all right so insurgents can no longer die I'm honestly not that worried about it at this point um and I don't see any reason to antagonize the locals let's go for development Banks and land rights these are things that tend to make people very very happy hold on hold on let's get over in these areas waiting for a drone to find out what the heck is going on with me all more extensions for our troops we'll keep them forever I will never lose these people all right there's another one of them camps that's fine we should have a lot of roads and we're still moving very very slowly by the way I find that distressing highly distressing let's get down to this city and try to build it up in some way are there any other zones that are close to finishing off yeah some of these are getting some progress this one up over here is about halfway okay um you can get over here you can get over here I guess come on come on come on pay bonuses all right at this point I think a full election actually helps right now a little bit of reputation that way I think we're stable and I think we're okay so rather than make this a 40 minute video I'm just gonna go ahead and jump forward a bit but I think you get the idea of what I'm doing just waiting on one more holdout and there we go okay we ended this thing after um what was this 13 years that's a long time very long time with over a hundred reputation not bad all right 107 687 points with the warlord we actually turned that around pretty well um actually this is a really fun scenario and definitely meant to be played on mega Brutal if I had played this on anything less than this I don't think I would have felt particularly challenged at all so the uh the the developer did a pretty good job of actually play testing this and trying to find a way to tweak the balance so it was difficult and a little bit scary but actually definitely possible very well designed for a first ever scenario it's a good premise it's a good challenge to it good job I really can't say anything but happy things about this it's rare that I find a good scenario these days but this one was absolutely fan fantastic thank you all very much for watching I hope you enjoyed if so would also hit that like button leave a comment subscribe hit that notified Bell and I will see you guys next time [Music] thank you [Music]
