About

This tool is designed to help players of the game Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances optimize their base resource production, plan their defense more effeciently, and analyze their offensive strategy against a particular base.

Using the "Link" button in the upper right hand corner of the tool, you can also easily share your base layout with other people by copy/pasting either the Short Link (good for 90 days after the last viewer used the link), or the Long Link (good forever).

This tool is intended to be used in conjunction with the "C&C:TA CNCOpt Link Button" GreaseMonkey script, available from the following places:

Once installed, the CNCOpt link button script will allow you to quickly open any base (within your bases' attack range) in this tool by simply selecting the base in game and clicking the new "CNCOpt" button. Alternatively, you can layout the base manually, but that's pretty tedious, so unless you have to use something like Internet Explorer which doesn't support GreaseMonkey scripts, you should consider using the above script.

Usage

Auto-Optimizing your base

Once you've opened your base, you have a number of things you can do. First, you may want to re-optimize your base layout using the "Re-Optimize Base" button on the left hand side of the tool. You can drag and drop the resources below the button to specify which resources you consider to be most important. There is some randomness used within the optimization algorithm, so you may want to click the button a few times until you come up with a base you really like. Tip: You can click Undo / Redo to go back to a base layout if your newly optimized bases aren't turning out as well.

Figuring out which buildings to upgrade first

If you're looking to figure out which building to upgrade first, hold down the shift button - this will put an overlay of what buildings give you the highest increase in production per upgrade cost. The number displayed is the increase in production / upgrade cost ratio, so the higher the better. The highest values will be highlighted in green, so generally speaking upgrade the green buildings first.

Sharing your base with others

Using the "Link" button in the upper right hand corner of the tool, you can easily share your base layout with other players by copy/pasting either the Short Link (good for 90 days after the last viewer used the link), or the Long Link (good forever).

Tips

• Drag and drop the Resources below the "Re-Optimize Base" button to change the preference of what resources you want optimized
• Clicking the Re-Optimize Base building can yeild different results for the same settings, try it a few times!
• Use the hotkeys to place and remove buildings and units quickly
• Hold down shift to see a quick map showing the best upgrade value for buildings
• Name your base using the box in the upper left (optional)
• Load a Forgotten base to see how much loot (research points, tiberium, crystals, credits) you'll get from destroying the base.
