1. Design Mode Message

   If you try putting a unit on illegal terrain placements 50 times in a row in Design Mode, it'll trigger a special message from Nell. She'll mock your efforts by saying, "You must really like doing that over and over again. Keep it up."

3. Easy Gold Multiplayer

   An easy way to get the Gold Multiplayer tab is start any map and then immediatley yield. Repeat this for all levels. With 3 & 4 Player Maps, play as 2 or 3 people and yield for them all. It will count as a played and that much faster to get the Gold then playing them all.

4. Campaign mode - in-game hints

6. Forfeiting The Tutorial

   With some planning and AI manipulation over several turns, it's possible to lose on the tutorial map by completely running out of fuel. If this happens, it'll trigger a special message in which Nell will scold Andy for goofing off and instruct him to forfeit.
