Infinite Gold:
     Note:  This  involves  editing a game file. First create a backup
copy of the file before proceeding. Next use a text editor to edit the
''script.slc'' file in the ''ctp_datadefaultgamedata'' folder. Now add
the following lines to the file:

trigger 'DOR_T_Give_Gold' when (IsHumanPlayer(g.player) &&
(player.1.gold<=200000))
AddGold(g.player,1000000);


Hurry production without money or leaders:
     Instead  of  hurrying a production with large amounts of money or
wasting  a  valuable  leader,  just  build  a  unit (such as a tank or
something  that  needs  more  shields), and move it into a city that's
production you want to hurry. Then, disband that unit and it will turn
into a certain amount of shields. Repeat this process until it is done
the next turn. Note: This does not work on small or great wonders.
