well that's better this isn;t level 7, it is level 8 SCG08eb slovenia to be exact.. you took out the airstrip in level 6 with the commando and skipped level 7 so what to do? well, check out the below: Level eight - right arrow, Slovenia the infamous "Save the Good Dr Mobius and the Wandering Villagers" SCG08eb but first, you'll need more money to start this mission so go back to the prior mission(s), since you used the commando to destroy the airstrip, you need to go back and destroy the refinery instead (go in the north west entrance, straight east, and there it is. this will cause you NOT to skip level 7!!!. then just before you destroy the last NOD building, use my "December 1st tip of the week I need more money" if you silo $30,000, then build and cancel over again until the silo's are empty, it will give you a start of $10,000. This is not a cheat, its a tactic on how to play. i have already emailed it to you. Dr Mobius and the Wandering Villagers: remember, save early and save often. the first (of many) major issues is to stop the good doctor and the villagers from killing themselves in the local tiberium patches. when the game starts, immediately get the mobile construction vehicle (MCV) across the bridge first, followed close by the vehicle, then the troops (stop the troops on the bridge to physically stop the villagers from getting out this way. if possible, use the gunners, keeping the bazooka men close inside the village.) time is of the essence. keep the MCV moving through the village, keeping to the northeast trail. just after you turn north, there is an opening east to an "island". stop right there (not on the opening, just west of it) and deploy the MCV. keep the vehicles moving, and position them north, but do not cross the two fords just yet. now, build sandbags!. form a line fully blocking the east ford to the "island" staight west to the end of the map. you may have to go south of some obstacles, i even destroyed a building to make it work. you may lose one or two civilians, but that ok. then , build sand bags south to corner Dr Mobius at the hospital and keep immobile as many civilians as possible. then, as you can keep building up sandbags to form a deep wall around them. you can build a sandbag, and move it around the buildings to be sure if you didn't miss a spot. while building sandbags, you will have to fight off two to three attacks from NOD comming across the two northern fords. try to use the rocket lauchers against troops and save the tanks for vehicles. its tough to do two things at once, but necessary.NOD also frequently lands helicopters in two locations in the town...one just west of the bridge you crossed, and the other west of the tiberium stalk (west of the church)...setup rocket troops and mobile rocket launchers near here to take them down... once you've stabalized the town, sandbag north across the ford and start setting up more buildings. tip: you can destroy tiberium plants that are in the way with any high explosive ordinace by selecting, for example a tank, and holding down the control key. you see the cursor changes, and you are able to fire at will at the ground, trees,buildings, not just an enemy (even your own units). (this is especially useful when facing Stealth tanks, you can shoot where you think they are). this should get you past where i think you are in the game, meaning the game suddenly ends with no known reason. second issue: BE CAREFUL. do not, at risk of certain death, attack an enemy harvester until you are ready. if you want to know why, just ask. otherwise, you can try for yourself. RIP. remember, save early and save often. -- Fight Win Prevail But Never Cheat Ofatso <ofa...@aol.com> wrote in article <19990131233428...@ng38.aol.com>... > Tia, > How did you beat the 7 th level on Gdi it is a pain saving the civilians > without the transport helicopters coming then when like 3 things or civilians > die in the town the mission is a faliure, would you please help me with this i > have been stuck on it for 8 months.
