Build order
Here is a suggested order in which you can build your base so that you get lots of money as quickly as possible. Note that this is only one method, and that there are plenty of other build orders that are just as good.
Deploy the Moveable Construction Vehicle, then build power, barracks, refinery, power, weapons factory, then harvester (1 or 2). You should now be earning a steady income which you can build upon.
Change weapon cost
Edit the INI.big file in your game directory using a hex editor. Do not change the length of the file or the game will not work. Just overwrite the text as required.
For Example:
Search for "BuildCost" and overwrite it:
"BuildCost = 0000"
Screenshot
To take a screenshot, hit F12. The new screenshot will be saved beside your SaveGame files.
Airfield Tip
While playing as China, build an Airfield and put a speaker tower right beside it. When your jets return injured, they'll heal twice as fast. Upgrade the speaker tower to increase the effect.
Play as Russia
Bring up the command console then type the following to get units with names from some of the old Command and Conquer game titles: Russia:Yuri_Relived
GLA Quick Healing
If you have damaged units near a tunnel network, send them into the tunnel and take them out. They'll return fully restored.

It can be found in "c:\my documents" or "c:\documents and settings\administrator" in Windows XP. Change the Honors line to "Honors = 999999999999999". If you do not have the Honors line, enter that line under the Challenge line.
