Get Old Unit Names:
Bring up the console and type in Russia:Yuri_Relived to get unit names from older C&C titles (No new graphics though)

Change Cost of weapons:
Backup the file before editing!!!

It is possible to edit the INI.big file in your game directory. But you have to use a Hex-Editor.
Do not change the lenght of the file or the game will not boot again..
Just Overwrite the Text you need.
Example:
Search for "BuildCost" and overwrite it like
"BuildCost = 2000" Orig.
"BuildCost = 0000" Faked.
Do not DELETE anything.
