Rebel Inc.: How to Beat the Coalition Government Scenario

To beat the Coalition Government custom scenario in Rebel Inc., establish your headquarters in a central urban hub, stabilize your first sectors with low-cost civilian initiatives, buy Anti-Corruption measures early, and use fast Coalition soldier deployments to corner insurgents against remote mountain borders.

Secure Central Headquarters and Early Intel

Place your Headquarters in a centralized urban zone with strong road connections. Urban sectors carry severe reputation penalties if threatened or captured, and a central base ensures rapid troop transit times when the insurgency begins.

Invest your starting funds into basic Government initiatives to gather intelligence:

1. Regional Census: Speeds up early intelligence gathering across neighboring zones.
2. District Logistics: Accelerates rollout speeds into rural areas, allowing your troops to enter without blind-combat penalties.
3. Basic Infrastructure Scouting: Facilitates civil construction rollouts without terrain delays.

Roll Out Cost-Effective Civilian Initiatives

Civilian support is your primary defense against stability decay and reputation loss. Because this scenario requires extensive military spending, avoid expensive civilian upgrades that cause inflation spikes. Instead, fund foundational public services:

• Water Supplies and Sanitation: Delivers quick support boosts at a minimal cost.
• School Materials and Literacy: Resolves basic education concerns in populated rural and semi-urban sectors.
• Core Health Initiatives: Deploys medical clinics and vaccinations to lower local hostility.

Purchase initiatives one at a time. Allowing inflation to decay between purchases preserves your annual budget.

Manage Corruption Early

Rapid military spending generates heavy corruption, which undermines civilian support and drains your reputation.

• Purchase Anti-Corruption 1 before deploying your second wave of soldiers or buying high-profile government initiatives.
• Purchase Anti-Corruption 2 once your initial zones begin stabilizing to keep your corruption risk index below 50 percent.
• Fund Public Relations to speed up the stabilization of secured zones, which increases your monthly budget bonuses.

Deploy Coalition Soldiers and Establish Containment

Deploy Coalition forces as soon as the insurgency is declared. Send them directly toward border sectors to find and destroy rebel camps before insurgent cells spread.

Do not leave Coalition troops idle in peaceful zones, as their foreign presence creates civilian discontent. When clearing hostiles, use a pincer movement: engage the rebel cell with one unit while positioning a second unit along an adjacent exit route to block escape.

Once insurgents are pushed into rough mountain terrain, stop pursuing them directly. Fighting in mountains without air support creates stalemates and stalls your forces. Instead, build Garrisons and Security Checkpoints along the mountain perimeters to box the rebels in. While containment holds, train National Soldiers to replace departing Coalition units and maintain security until the peace deal concludes.
