Is gold important?

[Dietmar]

Hello!

I have been playing the German version of EoC – therefore, my back-translations (marked *this way*) might not match the original words – and now I’m stuck in Act 2.
The last mission which I completed was “Hide and Seek”. The mission “The Battle of Mwari” wasn’t offered yet – I didn’t get the e-mail titled Zero Hour. The last e-mail I received (except from a ‘thank you’ from Yellowknife) has been from Franklyn Hoffer, titled *Emergency*, where he wrote about *a big problem planning the attack to the Marauder bases in Dante… Marauders in Mwari preventing the gathering of pilots and ships… me (Cal) to support the MCA in Mwari… breaking through the blockade, being able to conduct the attack*. This reminds me of the mission “*Blockade Runner*”, but I’ve completed that some time before.
Franklyn Hoffer and two other league ships are hanging around Lucrecia’s base. There are no other *contacts* or waypoints. The objectives screen shows just one item:

“Grassy Knoll”
*NOT MET: return to meeting point, fetch reward*

Indeed I killed the spy, but did not collect the gold afterwards. When I now return to the meeting point – which I think is the *resting base* at Hot Rock, Freedom – neither the gold nor the Third Man are still there (of course). Unfortunately, I haven’t a saved game from before that mission anymore. Can it be that this objective is preventing “The Battle of Mwari” from being offered?

Cheers,
Dietmar
