Starship Troopers - Terran Ascendancy Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K To have your troopers gain more experience after each battle, go to the "sttaunits" directory and open the st_db_attr file in notepad. Go to line 26. It should start out as: 26 1 0 0 15 0 0 1... Change this line to: 26 1 0 0 200 0 0 1... You can try other values besides 200 to tweak the experience growth of your troopers. Hint: ----- Make a fully utilize of the MST (stealth and sniper), kill all brainbug first before you make an attack. Whatever you do, make sure the brainbug is dead, else the worrior bugs will track you where ever you go ! Do Not jump if the hoppers is above you! Always do the formation if you encounter the hoppers How to use the novabomb - click at the novabomb and click on the ground (where you want to place it) Sometimes you cannot ambush the bughole if the is many worriorbugs petroling around. Use the sniper and shoot at the bughole (some of the bughole can be shoot !!) Extra experience: ----------------- Use a text editor to edit the "st_db_attr" file in the "sttaunits" folder. Change this portion of line 26 from "1 0 0 15 0 0 1" to "1 0 0 200 0 0 1". Extra equipment: ---------------- Use a text editor to edit the "interface.txt" files in the "mission" folder.

However, using the right bullet for the job helps. Use the small arms for the in your face bug work. Save the missiles, grenades, and nukes for the bug holes and Tankers. Heavy nerve gas is a gutsy way to ruin a bug hole's day. Make sure that you have a squad covering the poor soul hoping to drop the gas down the hole. Ambush Arachnids whenever possible. Use three squads to form a U. Run a couple of Mobile Infantry under the bug's nose and lead it back to your trap. Rinse and repeat for the large bug swarms.
