I just realized this is the same map I played last time with the General. Whoops. Ah well, it still works. Fortunately, there's nothing stopping me from playing the General on other maps after the initial series is done, if that's something people would like to see.
Fun fact: if your reputation is low enough the coalition can send you aid either 2 coalition soldiers or national soldiers or civilian aid which means you can have 6 national soldiers if you choose so but it works on the mobile app and I don't know if the escalation one has it.
But you probably have to be around 10 years into the game for that to happen. Although then I could easily threaten the insurgents into all eternity and got up from 20 to 120 reputation, getting myself a 5 star victory in 2022 on those stupid pistachio forests.
@@terrainvictus1210 Yeah, from what I've seen, you will get support decrease in Escslation after threatening too often, which never happened to me on mobile.
Highly inadvisable on higher difficulties, however. The amount of time you spend trying to stabilise can be the difference between winning and completely losing control and causing another Gulf War.
When I play as the general, I'm usually more aligned with the locals on the topic of coalition soldiers "Locals is Charlie Whiskey angry about coalition soldiers" "Yeah I know, I want them out too!"
You end up basically wasting a coalition troop by having them sit around for their entire tour, the national troop arrives just in time to greet the first guerilla, and civil assistance does nothing because you don't have any initiatives to roll out after buying all that military stuff.
@@olivinator Yeah, but he A) Uses up an advisor slot B) The National troop still doesn't come out until just before the rebels spawn, meaning they can't spend any time building initiatives C) Takes away a decent chunk of money in the very beginning of the game when it's the most important as a resource Maybe if you combined that guy with the advisor that delays the rebel spawn, you could get some use out of the national soldier. Still, it's a very expensive strategy that probably won't work on Mega-Brutal due to the monetary constraints.
A cool but somewhat unreliable strat with the general is:1. select Instructor and engineer 2. when you start, first focus on buying 2 intels, the first media initiative, the effective procurement, a national unit, a garrison and civil assistance. Civil assistance is really good in stabilizing that one zone, which is in particular useful, because the general is bad at funding civilian initiatives, so he can use his garrisons to fix that early lack of stability issue.
Fact:Martial Law delays the reputation loss due to lack of stability too so if you struggle to build support,just go for Martial Law to buy yourself more time.
Great video @pravus ! thanks for the tips! I saw you are only playing "Rebel Inc. - Escalation", the PC version of the game. Now, what about the mobile free version? Are you planning to upload videos on the mobile version? I ask this beacause there are some features in "Escalation" that really differs from the original mobile version that I think makes really difficult to win in brutal difficulty level (for instance, I won all maps in easy and normal difficulty, and the first 2 in brutal difficulty... but I'm stucked with the general in southern desert map, and I found out watching your videos that "Escalation" allows you to set up some initiatives before than in the mobile version. Anyway, great videos!
Is anyone else annoyed that by 7:07 pravus has not once, but twice, failed to eliminate a group of insurgents (which were trapped and already being attacked) because he moved a coalition solider somewhere else aproximately 3 seconds before the insurgents would have been killed? Because I am. It would have made things a fair bit easier for him in the early game, not having to deal with an additional rouge group of insurgents.
this game is fun, but the problems I have with it is that the airstrikes aren't really a choice, I mean they're absolutely great and when they hit civilian you just Cover Up, the problem with that it's that the game doesn't give you much of a choice, Cover Up is straight up the best choice every time, all the time . The same problem is with Foreign Relations, you just buy it whenever you have to subtle preassure and there we go, that's not even a choice, that's just a thing you NEED to do, I wish the game would rebalance these mechanics, like to make you actually choose, between Cover Up and Taking Responsability for example and also make Subtle Preassure less "the best choice all the time"
I'm not sure if you should take over zones you can't keep, there's a pretty hefty reputation hit when the insurgents repeatedly take over the same zone.
I once stabilised every zone except one and i put a national soldier there and there was alot of insurgent capability and when i accidently made my national soldier move an insurgent camp spawn and than the camp spawned an insurgent with a strength of alot (i don't remember how much but i'm sure it was alot)
The only way I can interpret the soldiers vs the insurgents is the immune system fighting a disease (coalition soldiers being innate and national being adaptive). Plague inc. and Kurzgesagt have ruined my brain.
Man .. that desert is the most painful map i have ever ever experinced in my intire life in a game . Littarley at normal diffuclty 3 suprise attacks happen at 3 diffrent spots and with good strength and crush me instantly not gonna talk about brutal with its 4 suprise attacks and 2 camps and then a 2 more after i finish the first 2 and insurgents rushing straight to kill my garrison and HQ
Sometimes it's bad, if you can't afford the reputation loss and your soldier gets attacked at the last second by some insurgents, you'll have to send them home and you'll lose a bit of reputation.
I just realized this is the same map I played last time with the General. Whoops. Ah well, it still works. Fortunately, there's nothing stopping me from playing the General on other maps after the initial series is done, if that's something people would like to see.
Ok
You're good. An enjoyable video because the difficulty is ramped up.
That's a good day
Pravus the starting fort isnt random it apears in diferent areas depending on were you put the comand center in the province (at least in brutal)
Very much enjoy this and the HOI4 series they are a diamond in the rough
8:30
Insurgent grunt: We can’t get to the urban area sir!
Insurgent leader: Just run past them!
Rip bug
They must have used a naruto run, they got killed when they stopped
15:38
pravus: risk of civilian casualties?
air force: 100% sir
pravus: do it
I love how this finished on February 2020, it's a pretty cool coincidence.
WOW
Good point

@@alexandererhard2516 in mobile you could do it because I tried and it worked but in escalation it might not work.

Finally I've finished the first map in brutal mode! This game make me crazy! Thanks for sharing, dude!
10:45 to 10:51 that is something you should never say in public
*an American one*
yeah better keep it secret if you wanna succeed
4:18
When you are a duck and you owner brings you food.
10:50 ahh Pravus, spoken like a true American.
Is it possible to get to 100% stability without a peace deal?
Yes, just station soldiers on unstable zones after eliminating the insurgents.
Yes, much more possible in lower difficulty modes.
Highly inadvisable on higher difficulties, however. The amount of time you spend trying to stabilise can be the difference between winning and completely losing control and causing another Gulf War.
Actually the achievement is called "peace was never an option"
No joke
Man, do you ever feel like the Maid Stereotype from 80's sitcoms? "Didn't I just CLEAN THIS MESS?!"
When I play as the general, I'm usually more aligned with the locals on the topic of coalition soldiers
"Locals is Charlie Whiskey angry about coalition soldiers"
"Yeah I know, I want them out too!"
I love this game so much,pls do more videos.
As you start with Military Initiatives unlocked, what about getting soldiers early and using Civili Assistance to roll out stuff faster?
Rebel Inc. aka "herding Insurgents".
"Coalition Soldiers are stronger then National Soliders".
General: "Hold my beer!"
You end up basically wasting a coalition troop by having them sit around for their entire tour, the national troop arrives just in time to greet the first guerilla, and civil assistance does nothing because you don't have any initiatives to roll out after buying all that military stuff.
@@Alex-0597 isn't there an advisor that allows you to get the national troops without having to buy the first coalition troop?
@@olivinator Yeah, but he
A) Uses up an advisor slot
B) The National troop still doesn't come out until just before the rebels spawn, meaning they can't spend any time building initiatives
C) Takes away a decent chunk of money in the very beginning of the game when it's the most important as a resource
Maybe if you combined that guy with the advisor that delays the rebel spawn, you could get some use out of the national soldier. Still, it's a very expensive strategy that probably won't work on Mega-Brutal due to the monetary constraints.

Great job, Pravus Gaming Bush. You wiped out those people!
I usually go with universal justice before the second PR because it has the same effect, gives you reputation and is cheaper
i usually get universal justice before any of those pr upgrades
Pravus,you might want to buy civil assistance or garrison checkpoint so the insurgents will have a difficult time to enter area with borders.
I like how it ends in February 2020
February 7 2020*
Pravus Gaming and airstrikes, name a more iconic duo
That moment when you don't care about completing the game on that dificulty because you just like watching Pravus play Rebel Inc.
I always love your videos!
what a Nice Commentary! then nice gameplay
Why is first still a thing?
jetaxe100 because people want to brag
Probably since they don't have anything to comment
You are not the first to ask that question..
*gasp* oh my god!! A video on a Saturday!? The world is ending!!
I cant prevent insurgents on distan steppe with general mega brutal difficulty
Looked like you really needed the Military and the buffs the General gave you.^^
General Pravus reporting for duty! … Heh heh, I said, duty...
Out of all the characters I think the economist looks the best
Yeah, the budgeting takes time to get used to but overall once you get used to it, it's one of the better characters in the game.
@@nwpgk8166 I was mostly talking about the actual look rather than gameplay, but true

10:51 Pravus:I wanna shoot them all
Me:WHY????

He needed 2 more soldiers to surround the insurgents completely.
13:35 in general. Good joke
Hey pravus will be there another ho14 old world blues video?
There is now
the general puttng the martial in law

counter strike is sometimes better than subtle preassure
I'm not sure if you should take over zones you can't keep, there's a pretty hefty reputation hit when the insurgents repeatedly take over the same zone.
nice video
Can you defeated the enemy without peace treaty ?
Sorry for my bad english !
Yes but it's more difficult
yes it's as easy as using peace but just takes longer
20:20/23:06 Inerstates
10:50 WHY

The garasson is not random, each location even in the same zone needs to be in one spot on a zone
what do you mean?

Is there mega brutal on mobile?
nope u need to pay
21:02 No u
Bock bock

Same map same governor
rebel inc is very similar to plague inc. the cure
10:00
When the "Send home" popup occurs you should wait the full time before it pauses the game....Like you USED to do in the brutal guides.
Sometimes it's bad, if you can't afford the reputation loss and your soldier gets attacked at the last second by some insurgents, you'll have to send them home and you'll lose a bit of reputation.
