Mission Briefing
================
"Foreman, you've been commissioned a small army to begin attacking the major
indigenous population center on the island near Continent Three. This attack
will proceed in concert with other assaults on all significant population
centers. The intent is to distract the indigenous population from initial
Threshold construction and intimidate them to the point where they will not
threaten ongoing construction efforts. Assess defensive and offensive
capabilities. Eliminate all life forms you come across."

- Unexpected Developments
- A Campaign of Distraction
==================
Primary Objectives
==================
1) Destroy 15 civilian buildings in the city.
"A small force has been dispatched to this population center. Begin disruption
operations immediately by destroying structures. Eliminate any resistance
from the indigenous population."
2) Destroy the GDI presence.
"The indigenous population has dispatched its military to try to stop our
force. Destroy any hostiles you come across along with any of their
production structures. A Droneship has been assigned to this zone. Use it to
establish a base and build up the force you need."
================
Bonus Objectives
================
1) Destroy the structures knows as 'Parliament' and 'Big Ben'.
"Based on the frequency of appearance in images transmitted through the
airwaves, these structures seem important to the indigenous population.
Destroy them."
2) Destroy 'Buckingham Palace'.
"The humans seem fond of defending this structure. Perhaps destroying it will
send them fleeing in fear."
3) Construct Growth Accelerators at each of the Ichor fields.
"Ichor concentration in this area is extremely low and contained. Construct
Growth Accelerators at each Ichor field to increase its spread."
===========
Walkthrough
===========
Gather all of your forces together and start destroying the buildings directly
north of your starting position. The faster you destroy them, the better - GDI
units will trickle through the city the entire time you're destroying the
buildings, so the faster you make it to 15, the fewer units you'll have to deal
with. Destroy the posts of the field containing the Tiberium field, too.
When your Droneship arrives {All Units Functional}, move it closer to the
Tiberium field and deploy it. Build a reactor and a refinery as soon as you
can, then get a warp sphere. You'll want a second harvester, and you'll need
to build a Growth Accelerator in each of the three Tiberium fields to complete
the third bonus objective {Unexpected Developments}. You can automatically
place them in the middle of the fields, you don't need to have a zone of
control around them first.
You should have no problem destroying Buckingham Palace with your initial
forces, so go ahead and move them up there. Take care of the missile squads
first, then destroy the palace (which will give you a little monetary boost).
Meanwhile, crank out Gun Walkers and Seekers from your warp sphere (more
Seekers than Gun Walkers). Send your group to Big Ben and destroy it to finish
that bonus objective and receive another small monetary boost.
The only thing left to do is destroy the two GDI bases on the other side of
the bridges, which isn't exactly easy. I suggest crossing over the middle
bridge, then making an assault on the southern base first. Make sure you
destroy the construction yard as soon as you've cleared out the units and
defenses above it, then deal with the southern part of the base. If you don't
destroy the construction yards, GDI will keep replacing their buildings and
defenses, which makes it damn near impossible to destroy the base.
When the entire southern base is eliminated, return your survivors to your
warp sphere for repairs, then add any newly built units to the group and attack
the northern base from underneath. Again, make sure you try to destroy the
construction yard as soon as possible to keep GDI from rebuilding anything in
their base. When you destroy every structure in both bases, the mission will
be over {A Campaign of Distraction}.
