- Actually, I have a cheat for the IBM version that gives you unlimited
- money. It's amazing what you can do with it... first of all, the Diplomat
- becomes by far the most powerful weapon. Buy *all* your enemy's cities
- except his capital. Secondly, you can set the science rate to 100%,
- vaulting you ahead of everyone else. After you start getting to future
- tech, set the luxuries rate to like 80% and watch your population boom...
- I had a population of 110 million. The spaceship landed in 600 BC, but
- for unknown reasons, it didn't end the game.
