Below you will find a complete list of gameplay rules specific to Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances. We would urge all players to read through these rules. If they are not adhered to, it may result in your account being banned, preventing further participation in Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances.

Please remember that these are game specific rules which exist in addition to those already outlined in the Terms of Service, Rules of Conduct and End User Access and License Agreement.

Account Sharing

We allow

• Shared use of a single internet connection and/or computer
• You are allowed to play from the same connection or even the same computer as other players. There is no need to declare that multiple people will be participating using the same network or computer.

For more information on these topics please refer to the "We do not allow" section below.

We do not allow

• Multiple people using the same account is not allowed. Should you give your login details to a fellow player, we will not undo anything the aforementioned player may do or cause, including but not limited to:
  • Suspension/Ban due to actions carried out by said player
  • Funds being used
  • Misrepresenting you in-game in e.g. the in-game forum, in-game chat, or in-game mail
  • Abandoning cities
  • Attacking friends and/or allies

Third Party Game Tools

There are a number of players and alliances coming up with some rather interesting game tools which some players find quite useful. We would urge you to exhibit the utmost caution when using these tools. Be aware that if they require your Session ID and you provide it, it is possible that the developer of the tool can take control of your game and do whatever s/he wishes with it. The same can be said for your username and password, although this is even more severe, it is possible for the person that created the tool to steal your EA account entirely. – Never give your account username and password to anyone! You are taking a massive risk should you do so and could lose access to everything tied to that account.

Use of external tools to present information, which can already be obtained in-game, in a different manner, is allowed with the following stipulations:

• The tool is only allowed to gather and present information that is also available through the official game client.
• The tool is allowed to make direct calls to the Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances servers; however the server load created by the tool must be similar to the server load the official game client generates during typical gameplay.
• The tool is NOT allowed to initiate actions for the user.
• EA does NOT check whether a tool is harmful to the user. EA does not give any guarantee about functionality or possible security risks created through the use of tools.
• EA has the right to blacklist a tool. If a user is found to be using a tool after it has been officially blacklisted, EA can and will ban the users using this tool.
