The Rising Flame

Description
The region is controlled by a brutal, hostile warlord, supported by a rival nation to maintain control following a failed military coup. Propaganda broadcasts indoctrinate local communities under the warlord's influence as his ruthless militia prowls the region to keep the local populations under control. Little has been done to address local needs and concerns, instead exploiting them for free labor and personal gain, sparking unrest in the region. While not officially sanctioned by the international community, the Coalition has secretly begun supporting a resistance effort in the region. The covert operation must maintain its reputation between local resistance leaders and its international supporters.

I died nearly instantly because my soldiers couldn't even take 1 zone. Fun though and it's creative.

This was probably the toughest scenario I've played but it was really fun thanks for making it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I think having access to the military so early on might have been a problem. As for intel and effectiveness, I do have some ideas on how to change it up. Unfortunately, I cannot give insurgents tanks in the Scenario Creator as it stands currently.

2. Playing around with soldier effectiveness in different regions so that starting in remote areas is more viable and taking the flatlands and cities more viable.
3. Enemy tanks?
4. Utilizing a significantly nerfed version of the development director map "experts" to roll out initiatives in specific areas and to significantly reduce the cost of civilian initiatives that are rolled out to really emphasize the fact that the international support is covert rather than overt.

Overall this is an interesting scenario that I'll be watching, but I feel like it has some pacing problems overall. Being able to recruit soldiers immediately and raid the cities feels a bit wrong to me and dealing with the enemy is more about containment than pushing them back due to the map and where the enemy usually spawns. Here are some suggestions:
1. reduce player agency by blocking soldier initiatives and making intelligence over a region a deciding factor in winning fights to enhance the "resistance" and spying aspect of the game.

Thanks to all of you for the feedback! I will most likely change the scenario to address how quickly the player builds up momentum without crippling them in the early game. However, the scenario creator is limited in that I can't make initiatives directly lower enemy strength and capability. However, I can place arms caches and additional soldier strength upgrades to simulate progress against the enemy.

Good scenario, some interesting ideas and options for the player. That said, you do snowball VERY quickly, and even on Mega Brutal I never really felt like I was at too much risk. Still, I enjoyed it.

Excellent work but man, that was BRUTAL! And I played on Easy! The Insurgents' mountain-top fortress is especially difficult to breach, even with the vast improvements to National Soldiers. I feel they had some titanic advantages and not enough in the way of "Reduce Power" through initiatives.

I liked all the new flavor text all around. The commissions about reparations, homes, and new tactics such as spies are great flavor.

The mine area at the beginning will cause inconvenience to the player and must be cleared as soon as possible; the rebels entrenched on the mountain are very difficult to annihilate. Fortunately, if the player lives long enough, there will be powerful various policies in the later period to increase the national soldiers and consolidate the area. , Great scenario.
