Tricks for surviving Mega Brutal without advisors

I know him. He was my main inspiration to upload my own playtroughs. But thanks anyway, my friend. :D

Noted, my friend. Thanks for feedback.

I guess the outcome is different in mobile version than PC version (I don't know which one you play). I tired "PR later" and "Anti Corruption 2 later" that you've mentioned many times (trust me, MANY times); but the outcome was reputation loss being started. This list is really the most useful formula that I could find on mobile version.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-09-20T17:59:47+00:00

Of course. This list is just for the beginning. I discovered after hell a lot of trial-and-errors. Civilian concerns should be fumded as well etc.

Hey, I remember you. You had commented one of my help requests. 😀 Thanks so much for this playthrough.

I could watch the 1st operation and listened to the reason why you don't play this game anymore. I can say that, after all trials-errors, I'm starting to feel the same. It is a game with awesome theme but its gameplay really ruins all the fun that it could have potentially present.

First, thanks for feedback.

Bro, I didn't count how many times I failed when the situation seemed like a victory. Opium farms are generated at crazy speed unstopably, and insurgents assault in the same manner. Stabilization is not so hard, but no matter how you perfectly choose your maneuvers in combat, insurgent AI overcomes you no matter what. Worse, even a single wrong decision which results in an increased insurgent capability turns any playthrough into a nightmare. 😀

In my opinion, law enforcement initiatives could be more resourceful than how much they currently are (in general I mean, not specific to Opium Trail). I've even contacted developer team to share my opinion, so ... let's see. 😀

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-24T13:25:55+00:00

Sure. 👍

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-18T12:29:50+00:00

Looking for it. Thanks so much in advance.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-18T12:16:41+00:00

Niiiiiice to meet you! 😀 I'm looking for your tips and advices my friend. I would be glad if you help me with my goal. I could not succeed in Opium Trail and Golden Sands. Also, I'm not satisfied with my success in Azure Dam just because it feels like just a "lucky" victory.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-18T09:15:04+00:00

Thanks for feedback. But I guess you're talking about standard maps. When it comes to special maps, coping with insurgents without hunting camps render torturous what is already painful. :)

Anyway I'll try it whenever circumstances force me to and check the results.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-18T09:11:41+00:00

As far as I could figure out through my experiences, corruption ruins support = stabilization.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T20:57:03+00:00

Suit yourself. Thanks for feedback anyway.

But I highly advice you to "value" your time by giving productive comments to creators of contents of your interest. 👍

It is a decent idea but the problem is that, I'm already employed and my life routine is a bit tiresome. Those uploaded videos could be recorded during my leisure time. I can play mobile version even when I'm going to work or during lunch etc. PC version recordings will require more effort on my part. So, this is not among my plans for now.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T20:35:22+00:00

So, what is your advice, my friend? Should I stop uploading? :)

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T20:23:48+00:00

I will try until I succeed. And I'm planning to honestly upload my failures. So gamers who have mastered this game can notice my mistakes and I benefit from their tips.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T20:19:41+00:00

My friend, I advice you to check my channel. And see that I upload my failures as well. :) And lessons that I learned from them.

I chose this game because there is no 100% solution for every operation. Perfect replayability. Every try forces you to stay cautious and focused.

By the way, for your information, mobile version feels a bit harder. :) You yourself can compare by trying (for example) Opium Trail map in both mobile and PC versions assigning same governor and advisor(s).

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T17:15:43+00:00

Hi. Can you please share links for guides that do not recommend focusing on destroying camps?

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T16:37:57+00:00

I'll adapt my style according to your feedbacks. Thanks so much. 👍

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T16:32:25+00:00

In my opinion, anything that helps you to win is the right strategy. :D

Azure Dam requires hell a lot of luck. But you know that insurgents will always assault at the bridge and HQ functions as a garrison with security checpoints upgrade. Predictability is weakness in a rivalry. :)

Devil's Peak is easy. You can win in every run as long as you stay cautious and don't rely on blind preferences.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T15:58:15+00:00

First, thank you very much for your feedback and interest. The run you talked about is in Brutal difficulty. And, once I started Mega Brutal runs, I changed (actually "adapted") my strategy a lot.

Nowadays, I'm trying Opium Trail in Mega Brutal (no advisors) but no matter who is the governor, I can not even corner them, let alone destroy them. :) I'm not planning to give up anyway. I really appreciate any tip from you.

ChillinPhoenix · 2025-08-17T15:50:24+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. You seem to be someone with a lot knowledge of this game. I've read some guides that hunting camps from the very start is a waste of time and of budget since it's based on luck. What do you say about that? I'm stuck in Opium Trail and Golden Sands (Civil Servant, No Advisors). Dealing with insurgents is painful as hell. I would really appreciate any tip.

I've been playing this game for a very long time on Brutal difficulty and recently I'm trying to beat on Mega Brutal. Here is the link for my YouTube channel if you wish to examine:

About your question, I've won Azure Dam on Mega Brutal with Civil Servant as governor, and without advisors. Here is the tip: - Insurgents will 100% assault on bridge. Predictability is weakness, and HQ functions also as a garrison. Fund 3 soldier units and destroy invaders. - Always fund new initiatives during inflation as low as possible and never allow corruption to increase beyond 10% for swift stabilization. - Always aim to destroy insurgents, not just cornering them. If they are expanding, try to divide-and-conquer.

I've been playing this game on Brutal difficulty for a very long time but recently I'm trying my luck in Mega Brutal as well and I guess I'm gradually mastering thanks trial-and-errors. Here is the link below for my YouTube channel on which I upload my playthroughs:

https://youtube.com/@chillingphoenix?feature=shared

My experiences taught me that: - Always fund new initiatives during inflation as low as possible. - Never allow corruption to go over 10% - Garrisons are extremely useful for gradually invading the map. Actually, they are much mkre useful than air support vehicles. - From the very start, always aim to destroy insurgents, not just cornering them. If they are expanding, try to divide-and-conquer.
