For a General run on Brutal in Southern Desert, the supplied draft recommends a military-first opening, followed by support initiatives and a later shift toward stability. Its specific upgrade claims and timing are not independently verified, so treat this as a proposed sequence, not a guaranteed winning build.
Suggested order
- Place your HQ where it can reach nearby zones, as the draft advises.
- Buy early military initiatives, then add District Representatives and Local Police.
- When insurgents appear, deploy Coalition forces and avoid spreading them across too many zones.
- Add Airstrikes, Garrisons, Troop Training, and Combined Arms only if they fit your run; the draft names them but does not establish their costs, effects, or ideal timing.
- Stagger further purchases, monitor inflation and corruption, and shift spending toward civilian initiatives as the campaign progresses.
- Once insurgents are contained, prioritize stability rather than continuing to add military units.
The draft also names Universal Justice, Development Bank, Anti-Corruption, Education, and Healthcare. It does not establish the requirements or relative value of these initiatives, so use the in-game descriptions to decide which to buy.
