WTF happening after refugee camp?

[FUUKamikazeFUU]

I just did the fight in the refugee camp and now insane amounts of enemies just rush over the map. Groups of 20, for what do i train guards when the cap is 8? Thats totally stupid design. Do i need 2 full-fighting-squads at this moment or how the hell shall this be solved? Easiest difficulty! WTF!

You don't. Plot twist! Gotta get back in there and reclaim what was yours.

[Darkeus]

And no, you don't have to do it all at once. You are fine.

No panic: just ignore it and play at your pace. If you don't hire super-expensive mercs, you don't need too much money, so this elite overrun doesn't hurt you really. Let them take whatever they want and then you go kick their asses one by one, collecting lots of advanced gear from them.
The earlier it happens - the better, because the game becomes more fun and challenging. Groups of 20 is where explosives shine :)

I just got steamrolled on the map same way as the OP. haha

Happened to me too and I had thought it was game over. Only city I held was the port city to the south and that's thanks to the sacrifices of those old grannies. I thought it was game over too but hung on, and also basically by that point of time I had 350k in my bank with two full squad of mercs. by the time I took everything back I was down to 240k, so it's not that bad really.

After that event the legions stop assaulting you as much as previously. So you can reclaim the mines at a more relaxed pace.

one of the best events ive seen in games.

agreed, its rough. it looks bad and hurts. but it fits the story and i would imagine the mercanary life isnt all sunshine and glory right? i loved this alot.

♥♥♥♥ hitting the fan, africa style. That event is perfect.
That said, if you have Elite militia in some areas, those are usually able to defend themselves against a squad of army or a squad of adonis mercs. Areas that never got any legion attacks, so militia is only 8 veterans will usually just get crushed.

I was also surprised when I was severely ambushed after the Refugee Camp event. I thought I missed something. But this is a typical "Jagged Alliance" move to do by the developers. Especially if you played against Deidranna in Jagged Alliance 2.

I slowly wiped all the snapper heads on my way back to Corazon!

short version:
i lost forts + A2 mine.
haven´t checked spawn at A2 but i guess it´s doable with 2-3 (good) mercs.
on my current run i plan to also hold A2, since the military shots miners when you try to take back the mine. no idea if this affects the mines output at this point tho.

Seems like you can almost indefinitely delay this from happening, though the game throws squad after squad of Legion troops at your cities, faster than you can retrain the militia.

[The Great Cornholio]

you can autoresolve most of the sectors you lost, including your mines
you'll collect a lot of phat loots

[FUUKamikazeFUU]

So that "new" faction will not attack the mines like the legion? And if they, has a only level 2 militia a chance? I understand now the game mechanic behind this event and in some way i like it, BUT this militia were MY MEN!

[XJFTW]

happen to me on my first playthou...and 1 map i had to fight 20 of em...lucky i have barry and his bombs kek

[OKOK]

This event mean better gear drop from now on. So it a great even.

Reclaiming the land is ease with auto battle.

A challenge y may want to try is to stop all the invasions with 3 full squad. Quite fun having 24 army guys in your mg zone and see how they try to get out
Bomb the ♥♥♥♥ out of time.

In one battle my 40mm hit 20 enemy's and kill all at their starting deployment zone
