When you get to the stage where you have no cash left and there is no spice to be collected, send your harvester to the enemy camp. It will be destroyed, another one will replace it and you’ll receive seven credits. You can repeat this as many times as you like.
To harvest spice in no time at all click on a harvester who is harvesting spice and keep clicking on him. The percentage of spice harvested goes up for each click on the harvestor. This saves both time and money.
