The Rebel's Thorny Path — Diplomacy is Not an Option Walkthrough

Master squad micro-management and combat tactics in Diplomacy is Not an Option's 'The Rebel's Thorny Path' chapter, focusing on Scott the Bloody.

This is a squad-based tutorial mission with no base building. Your objective is to guide a small squad to a destination point, teaching you effective micro-management and combat tactics without the complexities of base construction.

Strategy:

• Squad Composition: Your squad will be small. Scott the Bloody is a key tanking unit.
• Pause and Plan: At each engagement, immediately pause the game. This allows you to assess the enemy threat and issue precise commands.
• Scott as Tank: Always ensure Scott the Bloody is at the front, soaking up damage. He has higher health and defensive capabilities.
• Focused Fire: Use [SHIFT] + [RIGHT CLICK] to queue up attack actions. Have all your units target one enemy at a time to eliminate threats quickly. This minimizes incoming damage to your squad.
• Exploration: Carefully explore the surroundings. While there's no base building, understanding the terrain and enemy placements is still important for planning your engagements.
• Healing: If you have any healing abilities or units, use them judiciously to keep Scott and other critical units alive.

The mission emphasizes tactical combat and unit preservation. Avoid unnecessary engagements and focus on the most direct path to your objective while clearing immediate threats.
