Destroy Vega's Dams




After rescuing Tratos, he was kept under medical surveillance, having been weakened by NOD experiments conducting at the medical facility. An argument breaks out between Umagon and McNeil, but it is quickly broken up when Tratos begins to experience a vision.






It looks like it takes place West-South-West of Veracruz, in the vicinity of San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec.





Location: San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico
Objective: Destroy Vega's Dams

Briefing: The hydroelectric dams in this area provide Vega's island fortress with almost limitless power. Destroying the dams will seriously cripple Vega's perimeter defenses and allow GDI to bring more weapons to bear against Vega's base. The dams are heavily fortified, so attacking them directly is not the best option. Surveillance indicates the key to destroying the dams lies in the destruction of two regulator stations. Without them, the dams' generators will overload and the dams will self destruct.


Author's note: So the real way to beat this mission is destroying the governors, and having the dams self-destruct. If you don't, you miss out on the bonus for the next map. No, it doesn't make sense; its probably an oversight.

Among the chaos of battle, the Medic is solely responsible for treating the injured and getting downed soldiers back in the fight. Left on his own, the medic will automatically heal any nearby friendly soldiers. Medics can also be targeted to treat a specific soldier.

Author's Note: The medic can only heal units, and is vulnerable to Tiberium. Despite these shortcomings, their ability to heal any friendly infantry makes them invaluable when kept out of harms way.
