  says 'dilithiam cost' and change the number to 0,
  do the same to 'build time' and 'metal cost' 
 2. do this to all the files you want to in the race you are

 Cheat Method:
 Open the RTS_CFG.H file. Go to the line under difficulty 
 settings and modify the line to says what you want.
 // // DIFFICULTY SETTINGS // // Damage coefficients for 
 incoming damage for user in single player float 
 EASY_DAMAGE = 0.5; float HARD_DAMAGE = 2.0; 
 
 If you set it to 0 your ships will not be damaged. 
 However some nebulas still damage the ships if you 
 leave them in it to long. 
 
 NOTE: Always make a backup before editing files. 
 
 Increase Officers:
 To increase the amount of officers just change the 
 following line in the RTS_CFG.h file for Armada II 
 from 600 to 999. 
 
 // the max value that officer capacity can be in a 
 single player game, and default in multiplayer game. 
 int SINGLE_PLAYER_OFFICER_LIMIT = 600; 
 
 Hint:
 
 You can open the mission files in the bzn folder by 
 using the editor on the Armada II disk, right click 
 on any mission you want to edit and go to properties 
 and take off the "read only" tick and you can then 
 edit and save the missions in the game, for instance; 
 on the last mission with the Borg put starbases a fair 
 distance away and around the fluidic gate and you will 
 be able to build your base up with no problems at all.
