Civilians overview

Civilian population is a key element in your revolution. After all, it is their freedom you are fighting for. Just incidentally they also happen to fuel your efforts with money and manpower. Each civilian may have one of the following stances regarding revolution:

• supporting: friendly to the resistance members and disapproving of the occupier.
• neutral: no stance, the initial state for most of the population. They don’t really care about the revolution or the occupier forces. They can be turned into supporters, given enough reasons to.
• hostile: actively against the revolution and supporting the occupier. They cannot be turned into supporters, but given enough time they may become neutral.

Population moods will change in reaction to your actions. While civilians are rather tolerant to acts of war and inconveniences caused by combat against the occupier, any wrongdoings towards them will turn them hostile very quickly. Keep in mind your supporters may become hostile just as well, negating your hard-earned friendliness.

You can inspect general population stats in the campaign progress menu. To check local trends, inspect selected town on the map. Population composition is represented by a progress bar, with color-coded segments proportional to the popularity of relevant stance.

Income

Each supporter will donate a small amount of money to the resistance every day. The funds are then split equally and sent to all present freedom fighters automatically.

Campaign progress

Population support is required indirectly to finish the campaign. Without it, you won’t be able to control all required points of interest. It counts towards the progress, so you need to convince every single person to reach 100%.
