I've updated the code - switching factions now show correct units and points.

Create forgotten base layouts - currently, cnctaopt displays the layout, but not build it using FA units. I'll add that as a future enhancement.

Reverse engineer cncopt - not really - it's all flash code and I don't have the tools to decipher flash.
However, I'm making cnctaopt somewhat similar and have some of the features that cncopt has. The next version I'm working on is calculating the cost of upgrading various units.

As for optimization, that would be in a future release.

re: Demolisher artillery represented by Reaper artillery.
Good spotting with incorrect artillery units. Fixed.

re: "I can't place a GDI or Nod army to provide a hypothetical attack on the forgotten base".
If you're referring to setting up an GDI / NOD offense layout - you can do it (regardless of base / defense faction). If something else, can you clarify further?

This one http://cnctaopt.com? This is the non-flash version and is somewhat similar to cncopt.com - minus a few features. I have been working on updating a small part of it, but I've parked the development work for a while. NB: It doesn't automatically optimise your base's layout - that's kind of a big project ... maybe one day :-)

btw, I haven't played the Firestorm version of the game, so you could let me know if the units are incorrect.

The offense points of the juggernaut isn't correct. I recalled its 15 points and not 10. GDI and Nod have units that don't share the same amount of points. Black hand has 10 while zone trooper has 5, Specter has 10 while Juggernaut has 15.

Ah, I see there's a bug with the code when switching factions. I'll update the code soon to recalculate the units' points accordingly.

Other than the Juggernaut, the PItbull and Attack bike also has different stats. One cost 10 Cp while the other cost 5 cp. Maybe Cnctaopt can prioritize layouts that focus on one resource and move one building at a time to have the resource's rate increase slightly. I think the orginal Cncopt does this serveral times before revealing the results.

When you place units on either the defense side or offense side, the offense/defense points doesn't update until you sell a unit. It happens more noticeably with offense units that defense ones.
