Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy Cheats

• FAQ/WALKTHROUGH (72KB)

Gain More Experience
To have your troopers gain more experience after each battle, go to the "stta\units" 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.

After making it to the last level you can’t get through cause the Royal Warrior Bugs don’t let you? Here’s a cheat that will get the job done.

Enter the Missions folder that you can find in the main directory. Look for another folder named “ c3m7 ”. Open it and you will see a score of text file in a sequential order from “ bh_1_1” to “ bh_b6_3 ”. These are instructions for the bug holes and they decide which bug will come out of a specific bug hole. All of these files contain instructions for the Royal Warrior Bug apparent by the line “ bug_type = royalwarrior 100 ”.

Edit the line to “ bug_type = warrior 100 ” and you won’t face these scary bugs anymore. Once this is taken care of, you can handle anything since most of your troops are in 1st Class Marauder suits armed with double chaincannons. Make sure all the lines in the files (bh_1_1” to “ bh_b6_3 ) are edited. I recommend that you copy the folder “ c3m7 ” somewhere else before tampering with it.

Ammunition is a scarce commodity. 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.

In some missions, they will require you to equip your strike team with 2 missile launchers or something like that. I found out how to erase that requirment.This will require a text editor. Go to the "missions" folder in the Starship Troopers file. It should be found in Microprose in program files. Double click on..say....the first mission folder. Normally, they would require you to bring one grenade launcher, and two missile launchers. When you are in the first mission folder (attack on Klendathu) go to the interface option. Scroll down, and you should see one grenade launcher and two missile launcher's under "manditory". Erase those them, and go back on two your game on the first level. YOU WONT HAVE ANY REQUIRED ITEMS TO EQUIP!!!!!!!!!!!
