A new weekly feature has started on the Official Tiberium Alliances Forums. They are new spotlights accompanied by an interview so you can get to know key members of the Tiberium Alliances team EA Phenomic. The first spotlight is on Tiberium Alliances Community Manager, Skyther. Click here for the original thread.

It's funny how fast things happen once the news gets rolling around the C&C Community, and especially when the news of EA being accused of plagiarism over the designs for some of the Forgotten faction's units in Tiberium Alliances eventually popped up on sites like Kotaku. About 24 hours later, EA have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, so to speak, so an EA representative told Kotaku that the conflicting unit designs will not be seen in Tiberium Alliances and that the issue has been resolved. Click here for the full story on Kotaku. So I guess it's case closed, then.

An article on the French gaming site JeuxVideo.fr has accused EA of plagiarism of the designs and appearance for some of The Forgotten faction's units in Tiberium Alliances. Most notably, the Bombard Tank and Grinder Tank appear to be copies of the Baneblade and Ork Bonecruncha seen the Warhammer 40K universe. Here's the the picture so you can judge for yourself: http://i.imgur.com/o6jie.jpg There is no denying that they look very similar, almost too similar. However, a tank with a big grinding mechanism is not new to the C&C universe - see the Soviet Grinder Tank from Red Alert 3: Uprising. You can view an English translation of the article from JeuxVideo.fr, as well as some ongoing discussion posted on Reddit where this was first raised. Moreover, some people already mentioned this a month ago when we posted the artwork of the The Forgotten Bombard Tank.

Here's some more cool stuff for all the Tiberium Alliances players out there. If you're really into this game, these unofficial tools or applications might be of some interest to you. Tiberium Alliances World Map This is an in-development tool. With the World Map you can get an overview of world in a visual form. It works best if you're using Google Chrome. C&C Base Builder (More Info) This tool that is still in development essentially allows you to build and optimise your base outside of the game and share your base ideas with your friends. Base Planner (More Info) Another base building application that works in similar fashion to the one mentioned above. Tiberium Alliances Stats (More Info) Simple and to point, if you like your statistics then, this is where you should be looking. Tracks most of the data for both alliances and individual players on the various worlds that are currently open. You can also generate your statistics signature image for use on Official Tiberium Alliances forums or any forum you visit. Tiberium Alliances Mega Guide Not a tool, just a detailed FAQ and information that would be good for those players looking to get started. Covers everything like game basics, base building, army building and more. Remember, many of these are still works in progress, they are unofficial tools that are in no way supported by EA Phenomic, but it's great to see how creative the community can be.

The latest patch notes for Tiberium Alliances have been posted on the Official Tiberium Alliances Forum today. You can read all about them below. Active players should also take note of the newly announced game update cycle and the planned server maintenance. Patch Notes 04.04.2012 Relocating of bases reworked – it no longer costs command points Resource system reworked to allow for more efficient patterns – it is recommend to try rearranging your buildings for higher efficiency (moving buildings does not cost anything as packages production does no longer get disturbed by moving) Base level system reworked, impacts territory claim and Forgotten camp/outpost spawning Balancing changes Skystrike support weapon now also hits air targets Firehawks now deal the correct amount of damage to buildings in the last line of the bases (used to be too little) Camps of lvl 1-9 have less hit points Replays from before the patch can no longer be replayed “Collect all packages” button added Players can relocate ALL their bases at once to a new sector Keyboard shortcuts added Click here for the full details.

As the beta progresses, Tiberium Alliances gets even bigger with opening of two additional servers, otherwise known as worlds. Monday 02.04.2012, 08:00am UTC. European World 11 (English) German Welt 3 (German) You now have even more territory to wage war over.

It's been a few months since we put up a new poll here on the main site. So with Tiberium Alliances dominating the news lately, I thought the latest poll should focus on that. So the question is Are you playing Tiberium Alliances? Do you play it all the time, off and on, no too often or perhaps you don't play the game at all? If you are reading this update on the main page, just look to your right and vote in the poll box. If you're reading this via the forums, click here to cast your vote. And, as always, don't forget to share any feedback or comments about this poll as well. Here are the results of our previous poll, Who will be the 3rd mystery faction in Generals 2? With a convincing 40% of the vote everyone believes that Russia will be the 3rd faction. The full results of this poll can be found right here.

Looks like the Tiberium Alliances team at EA Phenomic wants you to get a little creative with a new contest that has been announced today. Here's the all important information on the new Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances Art Contest.... Once you have come up with your masterpiece, you can submit for entry into this contest by posting it in this thread on the Official Tiberium Alliances Forums.

Another official game FAQ for Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances from http://forum.alliances.commandandconquer.com/showthread.php?tid=3163 Resources and Buildings Q: How do I get resources? A: You can get resources by building structures that generate resources, by doing battle, by completing missions, or by using supply packages. To get tiberium, build a harvester on a tiberium field (green). To get crystals, build a harvester on a crystal field (blue). To get power, build a power plant. To get credits, build a refinery. There is no building to generate research points. Q: Which resources are available through combat? A: You can obtain tiberium, crystals, credits and research points through combat. Power cannot be obtained through combat directly. (You could get a supply package containing power through combat, see below). The amount of resources you get through combat are scaled with the base level, destroying more difficult outposts, camps and bases awards more resources. Q: Which resources are available using supply packages? A: There are supply packages for tiberium, for crystal, for power and for credits. You can activate any package using the specified number of supply points (which regenerate over time). The resources are added to your currently selected base (except credits, which are shared across bases, see below). You can also click the "+" button adjacent to a resource as a shortcut to activate a supply package in your current base. Research points are not available through supply packages. Q: How do I get Research points? A: Research Points are gained through attacking Forgotten Camps/Outposts and Bases. The higher the enemy´s level, the higher the gain. Q: Are resources shared between bases? A: Tiberium and crystal are not shared between bases, but can be transferred between bases (at the cost of credits). Power is not shared between bases, and cannot be transferred. Credits and research are shared between bases, and can be used anywhere. Q: How do I get supply packages? A: Some Forgotten camps, outposts or bases contain a supply crate. You will receive the supply package by destroying the building marked with the supply crate icon in the base. The type of package you receive is random. Additionally, you can receive supply crates through missions, or by visiting the shop. To see the packages currently in your possession, use the "Inventory" button on the top menu bar. Q: How can I use resources? A: You can use tiberium to build structures in your base, as well as some defensive structures. You can use crystal to build units (both offensive and defensive). Power is required level up buildings and units. Credits can be used to transfer resources between bases, as well as unlock units and structures in conjunction with research points. Q: What is a production bonus? A: Some structures in your base can generate periodic batches of extra resources if they are placed adjacent to other buildings; these are called a production bonus. Q: How do I get a production bonus? A: To get a production bonus on a harvester, build an adjacent silo. To get a production bonus on a power plant, build an adjacent accumulator. To get a production bonus on a refinery, build an adjacent power plant. Q: When do I get a production bonus? A: If you have a building that qualifies for a production bonus (see above), that building will periodically generate a bonus package. The bonus amount depends on the level of the production building. The length of the period depends on the number and level of the adjacent support buildings. When a bonus package is available, you can see its yellow icon in your base. Simply clicking on the package collects the resources, which will be immediately added to your balance. Q: What if I don't pick up bonus package A: Every production building can generate up to two bonus packages. When two packages are ready, the building will stop producing bonus packages until you collect them. Q: What is a production speed boost? A: A production speed boost allows some production buildings to generate resources faster. This is separate from the bonus production system. Q: How do I get a production speed boost? A: You get a 25% speed boost for every crystal field adjacent to a power plant. You get a 25% speed boost for every tiberium field adjacent to a refinery. The maximum speed boost is 100% (thus, 4 fields). The field does not need to have a harvester on it to receive the production speed boost (but that is still allowed) Account Q: I’ve forgotten my password, how do I change it A: All the EA sites use the same login details, if you try using different details on different EA sites then conflicts can occur, the best way to change the password is to go to the central EA site at http://profile.ea.com and change it there. There should be a forgotten password link on the page if you have forgotten your old password that will allow you to specify your email address to be able to set up a new one. You should then be able to login to any EA site with the email and password you have set up there. Occasionally it may not update for all the individual sites immediately in which case you should change the password on the individual site to match the one that you have set up at http://profile.ea.com Billing Q: How to purchase Funds A: You may purchase EA Play4Free funds to increase game progress through the Play4Fee Fund Store. The Store is accessible through the Play4Free Navigation bar on top of the Official Tiberium Alliances Homepage, or by clicking the “Add Funds” button located in the left Sidebar to get forwarded to the EA Play4Free Fund Shop.

This was originally posted on the Official Twitter page for Tiberium Alliances, @CnCAlliances. Ever wondered how the resource system in Tiberium Alliances works? Since a picture is worth a thousand words, this simple image should explain things. Another handy tip for Tiberium Alliances newbies or for those who didn't know in the first place. If you require more help with Tiberium Alliances consult the latest FAQ posted in our Tiberium Alliances forum.

If you have been following the Official Tiberium Alliances News & Updates forum that we added to our forums recently, you may have already seen this news. The latest update from the Tiberium Alliances team discusses the changes to the economy system in the game in Hot Topic of the Week #3. The connection types between buildings stay exactly the same as they were (e.g. connected Accumulator and Power Plant result in additional Power resources). Connections between buildings will now generate additional resources continuously instead of bonus resource packages. The amount of additional resources per hour is displayed in each of the connected buildings. The complicated timing rules of bonus resource package production have been removed. The buildings will now produce the collectible resources packages as their general production. It will also be possible to relocate buildings in a base without losing any partial resource package production. If you lack resources, the displayed time until enough resources are available will be more precise since it will consider collectible resource packages too. It shows the earliest point in time at which the base has enough resources. A new button to automatically collect all resource packages of a base with a single click will be offered as soon as the player researches the ability to found a second base. So this is some important news for the all active Tiberium Alliances players out there. And make sure you keep checking the Official Tiberium Alliances News & Updates forum here and CNCNZ.com, when the Tiberium Alliances team post any official news on their forums, the same thread will be mirrored on ours as well.
