These are also made for the long term game: They are weak and almost useless at first, but you will unlock various Initiatives that will eventually make them really strong. That is why you should instead focus on the National Soldiers. However, things get a bit more difficult on Brutal and you might have to either drop them all or at least some of them. On the Casual and Normal difficulty, paying with Reputation to keep the National Soldiers on the map indefinitely is extremely easy. Just be patient, stick to the plan and hope for the best – like to new Insurgents in really open areas or no random events that really break the game for you. Every Brutal game will have a point where you will feel like you’re on the brink of losing it all, but if you’ve played all your moves right and invested at the right time in the right Operations, things will turn in your favor eventually. The Military and Governments initiatives become a lot more important here and we’ll talk about them below. Key in Brutal games are two things: keeping your Reputation in check and slowly taking over the map by not allowing the Insurgents to get too much themselves. You should have a solid plan, mostly focusing on the Operations you want to unlock and the order you need to unlock them to. The secret is, in Brutal Games, to plan your moves ahead and be very patient. Instead, start building Garrisons and other Military related bonuses (in the Government section as well) in order to keep the effects caused by the Rebels under control and use every move you make to further consolidate your power. Building a huge army early on is not sustainable early on – so try to do the best you can with three soldiers, constantly denying the rebels territory. If you can’t contain the Insurgents early on like I did (and was lucky to) in the screenhost I shared above, don’t worry too much about them. Civilian Ops are a bit more expensive because of that, but overall in Brutal games, it’s not really a problem since you’re generally looking at a longer game anyway. I personally consider the General to be the best to approach Brutal difficulty scenarios in Rebel Inc – although I haven’t unlocked the Warlord just yet.īut with the General, you can start the game with a soldier unit and start working on National Soldiers ASAP, then use the Soldiers themselves to gather intel which is a huge advantage. So always try to get that advantage which starts with setting up your base.Īs you unlock more regions, you unlock more Governors – each coming with their own set of things that they can do differently. Sure, eventually there will be more in other areas, but having that advantage early on is huge. In the above image, it’s easy for my 3 soldier troops to keep the rebels tucked in that corner for a while. Also, some areas are easier to manage in terms of keeping the insurgents away from spreading, as is the case of the example below: Usually, it’s best for you to start in or near a large city – if Rebels capture a city, they will do more harm to your Reputation and Support and the larger the city, the larger the damage.

If you have played a map at least a couple of times on Normal (or even on Brutal), you probably found that best spot to start in and where the Insurgents will usually spawn and start to cause damage. I’m going to get more in depth with actual strategies that you need to follow, so let’s not waste a single second and instead let’s see how to beat Rebel Inc on the Brutal difficulty level!Įach region / map that you can play on has some strategic options that give you or the Rebels an advantage. Now, back to beating Rebel Inc on Brutal, this is the most important thing to keep in mind: you have to be patient and take everything both methodically and strategically. At least this is how it works for me now – probably a speedrun is possible, but I haven’t figured out a way to do it yet. The main thing here is that you will have a tougher fight against the Insurgents and everything will go at a slower pace than usual. And today we’re going to talk about this alone: how to win on Brutal difficulty in Rebel Inc.īasically, most of our general tips and tricks will apply to this situation as well. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong and you’ll be struggling for a long period of time before the tipping point when things will finally start working in your favor. Beating Rebel Inc on Brutal difficulty is… pretty brutal.
