Note: This is the 2000 game by Hasbro Interactive, not to be confused with the 2005 game by Empire Interactive.

Extra experience:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "st_db_attr" file in the "stta\units" folder. Change this portion of line 26 from "1 0 0 15 0 0 1" to "1 0 0 200 0 0 1".

Extra equipment:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "interface.txt" files in the "mission" folder. Change the various equipment values from 3 to 12 or 18. The values in all the files must be changed for each mission.

Extra storage depot ammunition:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "st_db_attr" file in the "stta\units" folder. Change the "10000" in position 6 of line 29 to "100000".

Unlock weapons and tech soldiers:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "interface.txt" file in the "mission" folder. Locate the "Excluded" heading in the file and remove all the lines in that area. This will unlock all the weapons and all the tech soldiers (MIST, psychic) in that particular mission.

Slower enemies:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "st_db_attr" file in the "stta\units" folder. Go to line 26 and find the "-50-" entry located fourteen positions after the "1". Change this value to set how quickly the Warrior Bugs move.

Hint: Easy wins:
Fully utilize the MST (stealth and sniper). Kill all Brainbugs first before you make an attack. Make sure the Brainbug is dead or the Warrior bugs will track you. Do not jump if there are Hoppers above you. Always do the formation if you encounter the Hoppers.

Ambush Arachnids whenever possible by using three squads to form a "U". Run a few Mobile Infantry under the bug's nose and lead it back to your trap. Repeat this if needed for the large bug swarms.

Hint: Destroying bug holes:
Click the Novabomb then click where you want to place it on the ground. Sometimes you cannot ambush a bug hole if there are too many Warrior bugs patrolling. Use the sniper and shoot at the bug hole. Note: Only some of the bughole can be shot.

Hint: Ammunition:
Ammunition can be scarce. To get the most out of it, use the correct ordinance for the right task. Use small arms for the close-up bug attacks. Save the missiles, grenades, and nukes for the bug holes and Tankers. Heavy nerve gas is a good way to take out a bug hole. Make sure you have a squad covering the person that is dropping the gas down the hole.
