good question
i wish i had a solid answer
first i think you mean the verbal breifings since i didnt see this in the
written "mission objectives" (ah, Roger Wong's FAQ to the rescue)...not
that it matters where it is from...i looked at the future games and there
is no continuation of these locations or any real use for doctor mobius
(although he is a tiberium genius, that maybe the tactical importance of
him)

the only thing i can offer is the map progression does follow a pattern
where the earlier missions are estonia,latvia,belarus,poland, ukraine,
germany,czechoslovakia, then here to austria and slovakia, then on to
hungary,slovenia, romania, greece,albania, bulgaria, yugolsavia,and finally
Bosnia/Herzogovina....(sorry for the spelling)...keeping the local civi
population friendly is a benefit since they can turn on you (as in this
level where there is one civi in Mobius's town shooting at us)..but all of
this is guess work on my part..

or maybe they ran out of things to say...

hey, at least the between levels stuff is detailed and
entertaining...better than WarCraft 2 where the human knight and the wizard
sit at the table and just stare at you (ok, so the knight does chew his
food), while the story line scrolls upwards...what a bore! (sorry, i
couldn't resist another hit at WarCraft2 as it sits in my closed un-played,
$40 for the game and $60 to upgrade my computer to get the graphics to
work)
