had to read second time through to understand what you wanted. go to ufopaedia just google that. on there it has i believe under the apoc link than the organization link theres a trainer/editor called Mexcomap. what this can do is give you elerium. money. it can finish all buildings currently being built. it can finish reseach even stuff you havent gotten yet. it can put items in your stores or buyable. etcetera. even down to customizing the skills of your soldiers meaning you can make super soldiers with acurate aim. theres no godmode but honestly once you get the blue armor and a personal shield theres preatty much no reason at that point. hope that helps. tho after ya beat it with editor try again without. you might have learned a few tricks. good luck.

I have found that the tools given are very innefective, and I have actually gone into the files myself and using a Hexadecimal Editor to change the byte values of certain elements. Again, Elerium, money, research, build time, soldier skills, etc.

1. make sure you havent missed something simple.
you can take wounded people to keep numbers up (unlike the earlier two), make sure you havent annoyed a key ally by blowing their buildings up,
2. load and save constantly, at the start of every mission and start/end of every turn. after an alient attack raid every building to find aliens then reload and go straight to the right one
3. riad the cult until it is bankrupt to steal all their stuff and sell it
4. too many options/stratergies? keep it simple by only using the biggest and best weapons and vehicles

I have confirmed that this works in both the initial release of the game...in case anyone still has it from 97... and the version released on steam. This basically takes advantage of a bug that refunds your money when you reassign an engineering project that is already running, and what it basically does, is provide you with unlimited money. I personally don't suggest using it, since it does make the game not nearly as enjoyable. But here you go. The requirements are these:
1) You have to be able to build at least one item (i.e. have it researched).
2) Have enough money to build at least one of them.

I will demonstrate with the bio transport.
Tell the engineers to start the project, then immediately assign them another project, start the same project (Bio Transport) again, and then tell then to reassign again. You may notice, that you just got back an additional $700. So basically I do these, keep mouse cursor over the reassign button and one finger on the enter key. Click Reassign, Enter, Reassign, Enter, Reassign, Enter, etc... You can keep doing this until you get bored or your arm goes numb. Starting out with this is a pain, but when you get more expensive projects, i.e. an Annihilator that costs 50 grand... then the process is much faster. Hope that helps.

If you want an easy way to cheat, download apoc'd

It's an editor for x-com apocalypse that lets you change stats, damage, money, items in a base, the city scape, and let's you edit save games, even the market and item prices, as well as the alien dimension itself and how many ufo's are there, how many are grown, and even let's you change the cap for ufo's in the alien dimension. it's free too.
