Stability and Support Level

Support Level is what the local population perceives of the player's operation in Rebel Inc. This, alongside hostility, determines whether zones will stabilise.

Global Support

Global Support is the overall support level of the local population. A percentage of global support is slowly applied to zones with initiatives rolled out.

Without initiatives, Global Support is rolled out very slowly across zones based on their distance and accessibility to the HQ.

Local Support

Local Support is the primary way to stabilise a zone. In simple terms, what Support Level does is to convince neutral people into becoming supporters. Having more supporters will make it harder for the neutral population to stay neutral. Generally, regional support is increased through Development initiatives.

See the below table to see what factors increase or decrease local support.

Increases local support	Decreases local support
Most Civilian Initiatives being rolled out. Some Government Initiatives such as PR & Media, Local Police Recruitment Global support Certain government decisions Nearby Stable zones (by a significant ammount)	Local concerns Excessive corruption Certain governor-exclusive initiatives Tanks Soldier units (especially Coalition units) Local Militia Certain government decisions Insurgents Nearby Insurgent-controlled zones Hostile population

Stability

Stability is directly influenced by the following:

• Population size
• Supporters & nearby stable zones
• Hostiles & nearby Insurgent-controlled zones
• Insurgent presence

As a zone stabilizes, the area surrounding it will gradually improve from a pre-war state into a thriving state. When a zone is stable, it turns green and a reputation bonus (depending on Population size) is given to the player.

Hostility

Hostility works the opposite way to Support Level. They are actively against your Operation - increasing the requirements for your supporters. Similarly, having more hostiles will make it harder for the neutral population to stay neutral. Generally, zone hostility is decreased through Services initiatives.

Hostility affects:

• Speed of Intel collecting on Zones.
• Local Support Level.
• Some of Decisions options.

Trivia

• Having more supporters will speed up Intel gathering. The inverse goes for having more hostiles.
• A stabilization boost will happen if the whole region has no Insurgents.
• Having stable zones radiates support on the surrounding area. Having more Insurgent zones radiates hostility on the surrounding area.
