I picked off their refinery instead (on purpose) and the AI never rebuilt it They sent two attacks at my base then they were dead silent.
When I first played this game I was about 7 or 8, I think mission 13 was my favorite at the time. I loved the Ion Cannon!
But this time through, the one where you have to protect the hospital was the most satisfying to beat. Civilians kept running through tiberium and dying so I had to corral them in with hummers and soldiers and tanks while micromanaging a battle at the enemy base. I saved/reloaded fifty or sixty times, took me six hours to finally beat.
