Moebius mission keeps failing

[fbx]

Hi,
I am currently at the mission where I have to defend Moebius and his hospital - it keeps failing anytime I start my assault on the enemy base. At some point in the fight, when I am already crushing the base, suddenly mission failed pops up. But there's no enemies in the village where civilians and Moebius are. Is there anything I miss? Is there any unit (besides Moebius) that shouldn't die and that I am mistakenly taking with me into fight?

This mission is really annoying, because the civilians constantly run into the Tiberium fields and kill themselves. Maby you lost already to many civs? A good way to master this mission is blocking the spots where the helis are landing.

In this mission your harvesters should be sent to the civilian camp to ensure there is no tiberium killing the civilians. Use your units to defend that area. Once that area is clean of tiberium, switch back to the tiberium area closest to your base.

Thanks, I figured out shortly after my post that the civilians are stupidly running into the fields. I blocked their village with sandbags and put a few guard towers there that took care of the arriving helis and units, and then it went well.

Do what Aphid recommends. Use sandbags, harvesters and guard towers in the village. Keep the little pest safe.

Seconding Aphid's advice. I failed this mission 4 times because of that. I cleared the area with my harvesters then built up the area with sandbags (you can place near the hospital) to stop civvies running into tiberium fields. Then I built up a load of tanks and APCs and rolled over the Nod bases.

i failed like 20 times before i finally succumbed to looking up tips online to find out what i was doing wrong. turns out while i was fighting the incoming NOD forces and put up an amazing perimeter around the town, the stupid townies were dragging their butts across tiberium until they bled to death.

so i finally built my base above the town (unfortunately putting me further away from from the tiberium field in the east). and forced all the people to the hospital via sandbags. then i failed another 5 times because choppers were dropping flamebois and destroyed homes (which released people for them to kill and cause me to fail as well). i eventually sandbagged all the landing zones that the Nod transport choppers would use. they didn't show up again...until i attacked their base (or attacked their harvester).

that's when about 20 helis rushed my base. i think it was a bug or something. anyways. after saving & reloading my game until i had everything prepared for the heli convoy from hell, i finally beat the level.

this level reminded me how dumb the harvesters are when it comes to navigating itself and how annoying it is to make sandbags one at a time. whoever thought this was a good level should be shot (or fired).

Yeah, this is very annoying mission, requiring carefull planning, savescumming and patience. And sandbags.

They land off screen, just to give you that extra middle finger. I ended up filling the entire town plus the rest of the area with rocket troopers, and guard towers.

Can't really land if you get blown up by several million missiles, lol.
