Weekly Brutal Challenge

[MadMarco]

Stop giving us the Tank Commander in (brutal) challenges, it's not fun at all, he is just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad, really. There is no point I would ever pick him myself, not sure why he is in the game anyway. I've beaten all Brutal challenges except the two with the Tank Commander, BECAUSE HE IS SO ♥♥♥♥

Well, its a challenge, no? :)

Challenges are mostly random anyway

I honestly think this brutal was handcrafted to be the most punishing thing on this planet.

Its not that hard to complete that challenge. Its hard to make a high score tho. I wonder what are the scores. I got 17,105.

Well I managed to beat it in 2028 and with a score of 18k. I just went for regional census early on and with NGO limited free policies. It is a hard challenge definitely since you need to rely on coalition for quite a bit early on and most likely you will get to a point of having quite low reputation, but if you have the pieces in place to stabilize the area you should be fine after some time.

But yeah, having to deal with insurgents, stability and mass corruption is a hell of a combo to beat it since if you lean too much on one side everything will just snowball to an unwinnable state. Good luck for the brave souls that dare to face that challenge.

Tank justice is a must for the corruption after you gain some high support. Telecoms, jobs for the urban regions (just to avoid lack of stability to give time for the rural zones to stabilise), education and universal justice, along with pr and communications. This is how i played, but had some luck that i managed to keep the insurgents for some time on bottom and top remote zones until nationals come. Used the NGO to increase budget. Relied on coalitions mostly in the beginning as you had.

I avoided tank justice for the sheer support loss that i felt I couldn't afford.

If you have support little bit more than 50%, tank justice wont take support level that much, instead it just resets the support level almost at the percentage where it was before you got tank justice, while the corruption is the only thing that gets down. I have noticed this after i have at least 3 or 4 initiatives that give high support level, along with propaganda and universal justice. This is for the android version, dont know if its the same on the pc version.
