If you have trouble getting the "show me the power" cheat to work, you may use this as a work-around:
1. Go to the savegame directory of wherever you installed Warzone 2100. Here you'll see your savegame file "divided" into to small files.
2. For the savegame you want to change, choose the file with the ".gam" extension. example, "game1.gam"
3. Using a hex editor, change hex values 52, 53, and 54 to FF. Don't forget to save your changes!
4. Viola! You should now have well over 16,000,000 power! You'll probably only need to do this once in the game! I've done it once to start a new game, and have thus far encountered no problems--well, except that the computer won't let me build any more units! This combined with the "alltech.zip" cheat creates an almost unstoppable force!
Hints
Getting Rank & Fuel in Level One
In the PC version of Warzone, mission one has no timer so you can lets the game build up oil over night. But even better-you can have your guys build up rank. The second and third base will constantly send out troops if you stay near it and do not destroy the factory, power generator or oil derrik. By constantly rotating my troops I know have 10 specials, 1 hero, 30 Elites and a few veterans.
Double Wall
For a sturdy and effective defense follow these instructions:
1. Build a line of bunkers (not moaters).
2. Build a hardcrete wall just behind the bunkers (you could put in hard points they don't hurt!).
3. Put a line of guard towers behind the wall.
4. Build another hardcrete wall behind the towers.
5. Build mortar pits 2 spaces behind the wall.
Note: for a surprise put cyborgs in-between the 2 walls (but leave the towers) this works cause when the enemy breaks through the wall they come pouring out discouraging further attack.
Say Hello to Artillary
Build ripple rocket enplacements grondshakers ect at a safe postion outside the enemy base (with a few hardpoints and AA sites just incase) Then WATCH THE FIREWORKS!!!!!!
NEXUS Converters
When attacking a base that contains NEXUS 'converters' - technology that converts units from your team to NEXUS units - approach with indirect firing units like the groundshaker, pepperpot, bombard etc. These units maintain a larger distance than others thus avoiding to be NEXUSsed.
Defend with Towers
Always Make Sure Your Base Is Well Defended With Towers. Pits. Bunkers. Hardpoints. And Enplacements Before You Attack Nexus. The Pardigm. And The Colletive. While You Are At It, Dont Forget To Put Air Defenses In Your Base Too, Sense They Will Attack With VTOLS Also. You Might Want To Put Defenses At The Back Of Your Base, So They Cant Get In That Way Either.
Base/SA Missile Attacking
When attacking a base that has SA missiles, don't just go in right away with a VTOL squad - no matter how many you use. You might get away with it, but it will claim enourmous resources for rebuilding the lost units. Usually you could not see all the SA missile bunkers, so you would know what you started when it's too late.
That Spare Time
Don't ever finish your mission with a lot of spare time. Instead, use the spare time to research artifacts and to fortilify you base.
VTOL Patrol
VTOLs cannot go into unexplored territory, to solve this send them on patrol by selecting patrol from the right mouse button menu and assigning them to the area.
VTOL Strike
The Warzone 2100 manual does a good job of informing you that VTOL aircraft can strike at anything. Its high speed also makes it ideal for reconaissance purposes, but here's a use that is not mentioned and easy to overlook: Recovering artifacts via VTOL from enemy bases. This is simple to do, and can be done while placing only one unit at risk! It is especially easy if all of the AA defenses have been eradicated and you want to recover artifacts before taking down the anti-tank defenses.
Mobile Defenses
Build a few vehicles with the heavy weapons you would use as ground instalations, they are mobile and cheaper than the structures. They have limited use though so dont replace your base with vehicles. they do a good job of defence until you have something better than machene guns!
Destroy Long Range Defenses
When you have tech level 3... With VTOL, destroy long range defenses in enemy base (mortar, bombard, howitzer...), start destroying energy generator to stop oil production for a while. In this time, prepare a cyborg transport, 4 laser cyborg, 4 scourge cyborg and 2 repair cyborg. Send the transport and cyborgs near the enemy base (behind is better) and start destruction... For easier use create two groups with cyborgs : 1 with laser, the second with scourge.
