GDI mission 8.B Dr Mobius (HARD)

[plastikman]

First off i'm really liking the game so far eventhough some things are a pain in the butt like pathfinding. But what just happened put me off somewhat. Mission 8.B is just ridiculous. The civilians you are meant to protect (and you can't control them) kill them selves by running around in tiberium. Even when I harvested all surrounding tiberium some civilian (i think Jill or something) walked all the way up to next next field to die... I moved the professor to my base but that didn't help obviously because the civs also need to live.... Worst of all after a little break I logged back in and all my HARD saves from that mission have been magicly turned into NORMAL saves so I can begin the whole thing again....

If you are in a mission and you click options->restart it reverst the difficulty to normal.

Change your tactics or change difficulty. You don't have to play on hard.

Use walls to block off the village/villagers from the Tiberium while you're still building up your base, that should keep them in check long enough.

That mission was always ridiculous even in the original version. Its basically depends on luck how the civilians move around.
Source? Completed this game like dozens of times

Thanks for the tip! I didn't realise you could take over the hospital that should help against the civs going out of their way trying to kill themselves :)

I still find it strange though all my hard saves from that level changed to normal though. O well will just have to start again :) and maybe backup my saves for now to an extra folder.

The hospital is already yours when you start the mission, no need to try and take it over. you can start building walls from there immediately.

You can even repair it if needed.

This mission was fixed after the last update. The villagers no longer runs into the tiberium fields.
