On certain single player levels with multiple arrows, there maybe a different mission for each arrow...I can email you the list of all playable arrows so you can go back a pick the arrow you missed...WOW, MORE C&C!!!! I also have fun with another item i found years ago: Tip of the Week - December 1, 1997 I need more money! Well, you may be able to get it! there are certain levels (listed below) where, when assets are sold for dollars, some of that money carries forward to the NEXT level: GDI - Levels 2,7,8,9,10, NOD - Levels 2,8,11,12 How: Just before you finish the last of the enemy off, 1)keep your refineries busy, build lots of silos, and fill the up to the brim 2)build and cancel one building over and over again until the silo's are empty. 3)sell all your remaining buildings (you get 50 cents on the dollar (don't start selling until the last building is built, also, be sure to have the proper trooper(s) or vehicle(s) necessary to finish the game) you can also sell vehicles by placing them on a repair bay the yellow dollar sign will shrink to a green one (the harvester will get money for the tiberium in its tank) you get 50 cents on the dollar you can also sell troops by placing them next to a sandbag but this is allot of trouble for few dollars try to get $40,000 in the silo's (and refineries) the $40,000 may carry forward up to eighteen thousand dollars (some times less) Thanks to Olaf van der Spek for his improvements. This can be of great help. and it is not a cheat, but a little know strategic tactic built into C&C.. -- Fight Win Prevail But Never Cheat
