Here are a few extra tips that I have found out for myself or from others in these very forums. These have helped me move up the difficulty levels to where I'm now playing Painful (badly) but i'll win someday! :D 1. I use the minors as my cash cows.

I'm currently in the red by a couple hundred and slowly climbing out. ;) Seems like a bug to me but then again I'm very new to this game
