Easter Eggs

Command And Conquer
Place industrial zones and you will eventually see a manufacturing or high-tech industry called Kane Tiberium. If you have played the first Command & Conquer game you will remember that Kane is the leader of The Brotherhood of Nod and tiberium is the green, alien, toxic mineral that GDI and Nod needed to fund themselves.

Glitches

Unlike in past games, the revenue from the legalized gambling ordinance is not dependent on population. To take advantage of this, start a new city and build a single tile of road. At the beginning of the next month, enable legalized gambling and you will earn $100 a month without having to do a thing. Leave the game on overnight at maximum speed and never worry about running out of money again.

There's a glitch in the game that allows you to earn billions of dollars within just a few seconds. Create two cities, connect both via a water deal. Buy water with one city and let the game time run for a few minutes. Then cancel the deal and sell the water back to the city you bought it from. For a few seconds, you'll get a few billion dollars (maybe more, maybe less), then the deal automatically terminates when the game finds that you're out of water to sell. If you need any clarification to this glitch, please ask.

@hardballpt
The method you described absolutely works. For those who don't like cheats, however, you can accomplish the same thing by just building a small city and tanking its economy to unlock the toxic waste dump, missile range etc., then destroying the rest of the city with disasters. If memory serves, you do not actually need to power the army base, fire station etc.. If I am mistaken and the fire station needs to be powered to work, then building one wind turbine solves that problem.

I remember the Kane Tiberium easter egg well.
ONE VISION! ONE PURPOSE!

I'll take your "glitch" of 100/month and raise it by 16.15 :)

This method is a quick way to get lots of cash. But keep in mind, this method adds garbage, pollution, and radiation. Which, by the way, can all be fixed throughout gameplay... Especially if you have a ton of money.

1) start game
2) use "you don't deserve it"
3) use "fightthepower"
4) build a army base
5) build a road around the army base
6) build the following off the road:
--a) casino
--b) federal prison
--c) missile range
--d) toxic waste dump
--e) small fire station
7) Put that sucker on cheetah speed and you will generate around $500,000 every 8 minutes.

This will generate $1,750 income with a cost of $135; Leading to +$1,615/month!!!
