DomiNations Update 12.13 - Squadrons

DOM_SM_12_4_24_Update_1213_Squadrons.png




Greetings Leaders,

DomiNations Update 12.13 is on the way. With the introduction of the New DomiNations World Accounts from Update 12.12, we’ll be retiring the TOY Login functionality in this update. We introduce ‘Squadrons’, Premium Troop Tactics that combine parts of multiple Premium Troop Tactics into one deployment! Also a sneak peek at the next Legendary Artifact and Councilors to join DomiNations!

Removal of TOY Login Support
In our previous update, we implemented the New Account Management System, which allows you to easily switch between multiple bases in DomiNations. Now that this has taken place our TOY Users should be able to play DomiNations without any interruption. With the release of Update 12.13 we will be ending support of the TOY Login feature. If you have any outlying accounts that aren’t yet linked with a New DomiNations World Account please contact our CS Team at support@bighugegames.com so that they can assist you with keeping your account available to you!

New Game Button!
As our New Account Management System makes it easier to play multiple Bases at once, we’re adding a New Game button! Start your DomiNations experience from the beginning all over again and have it automatically linked to your New DomiNations World Account from update 12.12.

When you’re going to your Account Management under the settings tab in DomiNations, you’ll notice that after your linked Bases the New Game button is also there. Tap that to start a new path to Victory!

Seasonal Inspired Unit Buffs
Update 12.13 will reintroduce some Seasonal Buffs as permanent changes to Troops. Not all of these changes are identical to their Seasonal counterpart.
  • Wall Miners will now move +25% faster than before
    • This includes Veteran Wall Miner Troop Tactics
    • With the release of this update, we’ll be removing the Wall Miner changes associated with Season 10: Return of the Greats
  • Paratroopers will fire +25% faster but deal -20% DMG per shot
    • These two changes result in no change to the DMG per second of the Paratroopers
    • This includes Airborne Infantry from the Transport Mk3 Troop Tactic
  • Supply Wagons will fire -25% slower but heal +60% more per shot
    • This includes Supply Convoy Troop Tactic
  • Tactical Helicopters will have a 100% increase to fire rate (doubled), but heal 45% less health per shot
  • Scouts/Recon will have a 15% reduced cooldown (a -4s reduction), but the scan radius is reduced by -16% and has a -25% reduction to the scan duration.
    • This includes the Recon Mk6 Troop Tactic

Squadrons
We’ll be introducing a unique set of powerful Troop Tactics to update 12.13. Squadrons will feature a group of Troop Tactics that can be deployed at once, much like the current Big Red One and Conquistador Army Troop Tactics we have today. What makes Squadrons unique is that they’re comprised of Premium Troop Tactics! Our first wave will bring 3 Squadrons to DomiNations the Garrison of Guan Yu, Helicopter Havoc Squadron, and the Break and Enter Squadron.

New Legendary Artifact - Keyed English Guitar

DOM_Museum_KeyedEnglishGuitar_Peace_EN_1920x1080.png


A brand new Main Hall Legendary Artifact will be coming out on 12/9, the Keyed English Guitar! This Main Hall Legendary Artifact will reduce the potency of the enemy defenses while increasing your Heavy Tank Damage output.

Enemy Tower DMG-11%
Enemy Tower HP-11%
Enemy Sniper Tower DMG-16%
Enemy Defender Spawn Time+6%
Heavy Tank DMG+11%


New Councilor - Lakshmibai Newalkar (Warrior)

DOM_Council_LakshmibaiNewalkar_Full_Stats_EN_1920x1080.png


Lakshmibai Newalkar stands as one of the most iconic figures of India’s struggle against British colonial rule. She was born in 1828, and raised in the Maratha court, where she was trained in horseback riding, archery, and combat—skills that would soon define her legacy. After her marriage to the Maharaja of Jhansi, her world was upended when the British East India Company refused to recognize her adopted son as the heir to the throne, and annexed the state and its territories. Determined not to bow to imperialist pressure, Lakshmibai took up arms, transforming herself from a queen into a warrior, and sparked one of the fiercest resistances of the 1857 Indian Rebellion.

In DomiNations, much like Simón Bolívar, Lakshmibai will feature identical Main and War Hall bonuses. Her bonuses will include increased Air Defense and stronger defenders with faster spawn times. Lakshmibai will be available later this month starting 12/20!

New Councilor - Oda Nobunaga (Leader)

DOM_Council_OdaNobunaga_Full_Stats_EN_1920x1080.png


Oda Nobunaga, one of the world’s most iconic warlords, rose from obscurity to dominate the chaotic Sengoku period (1467-1600)—an era of civil war and political instability within Japan. Born in 1534 to a minor daimyō in Owari Province, young Nobunaga was dismissed as erratic and unpredictable, earning the nickname ‘The Fool of Owari.’ Yet, his audacity and brilliance became impossible to ignore when, in 1560, he achieved the unthinkable. Despite being outnumbered, he crushed the vastly superior forces of Imagawa Yoshimoto at the Battle of Okehazama. This victory cemented his reputation as a formidable leader and was a harbinger of his grander ambitions: to unify Japan under his rule.

Nobunaga’s Council benefits focus on improving Generals and Paratroopers for both Main and War Halls. You can recruit Oda Nobunaga for your Council Chambers starting early next year on 1/20!

Update 12/4:
Due to an error discovered after release, we have temporarily turned off the "New Game" Button. Currently, the plan is to require the 12.13 update and then re-introduce the button through a hotfix.

Update 12/17:
We are moving up the sale date of Lakshmibai to 12/20

I find these changes to be quite bad. Decreasing the effectiveness of recon is bad news, that a key to any attack strategy right now, having cool down shorter isn’t helpful at all since they get shot down pretty quickly now . Maybe if they gave them more hp to counter that…but cool down doesn’t help if they are dead. Defense seems to keep getting more and more advantages . And another councilor to add even more DST? Really? It’s quite demoralizing to offensive players, this recon nerf is terrible news. You almost gave us a good legendary like the kettle drum, but all the D players whined and it was taken away. Why does BHG keep boosting D and nerfing O over and over ? And why do they keep adding new terrible features and not fix the bugs in the game like the uni bug, the donation bug, the replays and the loud out museum bugs? It’s quite maddening .

Of course BHG will always favour D over O - it's designed to challenge you. (and make you spend)
 
This includes the Recon Mk6 Troop Tactic
This is very frustrating news. Especially since they were often sold for real money, which will now be devalued.
A solution similar to those used in the past with Eisenhower or Bazooka Tower, where they were preserved and only a weaker version 2 was sold after the change, would help maintain the value of the invested money.

Wow battles will be even more competitive, but seriously don't do this. Make others troops worthwhile like tactical heli supresses defenders in radius , make other troops relevant now everything in game is dead except mortar strategy nd it's worst . 8 range of artillery is basically tooo much.

Nd please change rewards of dock after digital age , make squadrons offer there nd don't keep it same in dock , change the rewards every few months in dock , after digital age dock is dead nd even gives worse troops .
University speed up issue is still persistent
After deploying troops like artillery mortars or zuk commando u can make them all appear on one square with each corner representing numbers of troops alive I can't scroll to light years away and then again for rallying, war academy tactics are at extreme ends , if u have used a war tactics please make it vanish, don't let it take space in bar.
Nerf defense and mortar artillery as well specially mongol bonuses, make other troops little stronger .
 
Let me cry little bit.
New councilor with so much paratrooper dmg and hp with help of generals with huge hp and dmg is horrible for defense. Please consider minimize stats on Nobunaga council.

Otherwise great changes with paratroopers and finally reducing recon. Finally little help for defenders.
Well done BHG.

Just because you're low age/bad at defending doesn't mean attacking is easy

New Councilor - Lakshmibai Newalkar (Warrior)

View attachment 12912


Лакшмибаи Невалкар является одной из самых знаковых фигур в борьбе Индии против британского колониального правления. Она родилась в 1828 году и выросла при дворе маратхов, где ее обучали верховой езде, стрельбе из лука и боевым искусствам — навыкам, которые вскоре определили ее наследие. После ее замужества за махараджей Джханси ее мир перевернулся, когда Британская Ост-Индская компания отказалась признать ее приемного сына наследником престола и аннексировала государство и его территории. Решив не поддаваться давлению империалистов, Лакшмибаи взялась за оружие, превратившись из королевы в воина, и спровоцировала одно из самых ожесточенных сопротивлений индийского восстания 1857 года.

В DomiNations, как и у Симона Боливара, Лакшмибаи будет иметь идентичные бонусы Main и War Hall. Ее бонусы будут включать повышенную защиту от ПВО и более сильных защитников с более быстрым временем появления. Лакшмибаи будет доступна в конце этого месяца, начиная с 23 декабря!

Новый советник — Ода Нобунага (лидер)

View attachment 12926

Ода Нобунага, один из самых знаковых военачальников мира, поднялся из безвестности, чтобы доминировать в хаотичный период Сэнгоку (1467-1600) — эпоху гражданской войны и политической нестабильности в Японии. Родившийся в 1534 году в семье мелкого даймё в провинции Овари, молодой Нобунага был отвергнут как непредсказуемый и непредсказуемый, заслужив прозвище «Дурак из Овари». Тем не менее, его смелость и гениальность стало невозможно игнорировать, когда в 1560 году он достиг немыслимого. Несмотря на численное превосходство, он сокрушил значительно превосходящие силы Имагавы Ёсимото в битве при Окэхадзаме. Эта победа закрепила за ним репутацию грозного лидера и стала предвестником его более грандиозных амбиций: объединить Японию под своей властью.

Преимущества Совета Нобунаги направлены на улучшение генералов и десантников как для Главного, так и для Военного зала. Вы можете нанять Оду Нобунагу для своих Залов Совета, начиная с начала следующего года 20 января!

I don’t understand the whining and crying over a seasonal change to the recon. We have had this combo before. It will go away and recons will be back to normal soon enough. You are crying like this is a permanent change. I know this is not politically correct, but man up and move on.

And I am an attacker not a defender so… accusing me of favoring defense is not a valid attack on me personally.

You are wrong, this time the Recon Aircraft is a permanent change rather than a seasonal change, and in fact the offensive players are further permanently nerfed

The season with the changed Recon was bad.
This time it's permanent.
Your suggested solution of quitting the game until Recon is back to normal would mean quitting the game permanently.

After the update, we Asian players found that iOS devices are completely paralyzed. Once logged out, it’s impossible to log back in. It’s already been two days… Is history repeating itself, like when Asian players couldn’t log in via Facebook? Back then, we were unable to access the game for over six months. When we sought help, you told us to connect to the U.S. servers. Are we Asian players really second-class citizens?
