Mission 9 - Mago's Pass | Human campaign Grey Goo Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

1 � Starting point.

2 � The Southern base.

3 � The Eastern base.

4 � The Northern base

Primary objectives:

  • Protect 8 waves of refugees.
  • Do not lose more than 40 civilians.

On the map, there are three bases that accept refugees [2][3][4]. Each one has a specific area that it covers, which is marked in a separate color. Every several minutes, refugees from nearby bases will leave towards those bases. Your mission is to protect them. If a base is destroyed, refugees head for one of the remaining ones. F you lose all three bases, you fail the mission. All three bases ale well guarded, but none of them is capable of producing new turrets or units. If any one of them is destroyed, this is permanent.

First of all, forget about saving all of the refugees - Mission 9 - Magos Pass - Human campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

First of all, forget about saving all of the refugees. This is going to be an option with the first three waves, and the successive three also, although more difficult. It is at this stages that the first losses will occur. The seventh and the eighth waves are bound to end up in losses. All because of the enemy, who may be lurking everywhere. The map is big, resource deposits, narrow passages and hills are plentiful here. Goo units may be waiting in any of these spots. Additionally, there is no way to control the refugees, and to specify optimal routes for them. Therefore, expect losses, because you cannot avoid them.

Refugees leave their homes in the following order:

1. The Southern zone.

2. The Eastern zone.

3. The Northern zone

4. The Southern and eastern zones.

5. The Northern and Southern zones.

6. The eastern and Southern zones.

7. All zones.

8. All zones.

There are three ways to protect them - Mission 9 - Magos Pass - Human campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are three ways to protect them. The first one is to form a strong army and deploy them in the zones of danger. Wait for the civilians to start running, protect them from threats and move the army to the next zone. Thanks to this, you will always be ready to fight back the enemy attack. The downside of the tactic is that you will be, this way, ignoring the rest of the map, whereas the enemy is developing his bases, and also the necessity to separate your armies during the fourth, the fifth and the successive waves.

The second way requires you to dispatch small patrols into the map, whose job will be to destroy the enemy forces on a regular basis. The patrols need to be strong enough to withstand the Goo attacks, and numerous enough to back up each other, in combat. Three groups of 50 units will be too scattered to be able to support each other. 15 groups of 10 units stand a higher chance. This solution is good for regular clearing of the map but, this forces you to move your units regularly, which makes it difficult to manage the base, among others. Also, patrols need to be despatched in a way that ensures safety for the civilians which again makes it difficult to control them all.

The third tactic is a combination of the above two. You dispatch patrols of ten. At the same time, maintain numerous assault teams in the center of the map which, if necessary, you need to dispatch to back up whoever is in need. The downside of this method is that the cost of it is the highest, whereas the upside is that this ensures you with much flexibility, because you can appear whenever you are needed.

Regardless of the tactic that you adopt, keep an eye on the refugee camps - Mission 9 - Magos Pass - Human campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the tactic that you adopt, keep an eye on the refugee camps. They have turrets and they will rarely be under attack but, the more Goo on the map, the more frequent, and stronger the attacks. This, in turn, makes refugees flee elsewhere, which exposes them to danger. Also, remember abut deposits outside of your base. In this mission, you will have to bear high costs so, one refinery will soon prove to be insufficient. Also, try to eliminate all of the Mother Goo that you stumble across. Destroying them decreases the opponent's military potential considerably.
