Scenario tips & tricks

[Taera]

I have some ideas for scenarios and thought to start a topic for people to share their ways of making scenarios.

Things that come in head:
*Learn to use Sentry ability. On simultaneous can be deadly (you cant dodge it)
*Make 1 research costs for everything and research whatever you need, then put the normal research file
*Modify save games for dates (how do you do that?)
*For a no-research game remove the Research Facility and add research generation to some of the facilities, research whatever needed and remove the ability

Anyone else with useful hints?
