Special features

Exclusive initiatives

All initiatives can be found within the Government tab.

• Counter-Narcotics - Allied military forces are authorized to destroy poppy fields. New poppy fields will no longer spawn in stable zones.
• Employment Support Programme - Poppy fields now deduct funds instead of generating hostiles when destroyed. Each destroyed field beforehand increases the cost by 1. Still takes away funds if Operation chooses to spray herbicides across the region to wreck the poppy fields (and many other agricultural plants as well) on the random event decision despite not stopping the support level penalty.
• Opium Crackdown - Temporarily reduce opium production and gain 1 reputation. Poppy fields will have reduced output by 65%, has no effect on growth speed.
• Enhanced Surveillance - Drones now scan the target zone and a random zone next to it each time they are dispatched.

Opium crisis

Poppy fields can spawn in Rural regions (or any in Mega-Brutal) and will slowly build up to 100% (grows at 20% of the rate on Remote Zones). This gives plenty of opportunities for opium trade. Fully-grown fields will gradually reduce the player's reputation, increases corruption risk, as well as boosting insurgent capability. Unchecked opium industries will cause the international community to turn on you, potentially damaging your reputation or catastrophically decreasing support Level. It's best to take them out before they get the chance.
