DomiNations Update 12.4 - Custom World Wars

Greetings Leaders,

DomiNations Update 12.4 gives you the power to challenge rival Alliances with ease, and enter the fray with a Custom World War! In Custom World Wars you’ll have the freedom to take on any Alliance you choose. We’re also changing the requirements to obtain Conqueror’s Chests for Leaders with more defensive-oriented strategies, and cleaning up the Storefront.

Custom World War​

A brand new feature to DomiNations will let you challenge rival Alliances on demand! Custom World Wars will let you and fellow Leaders easily set up Wars. In this mode, you’ll be able to test various strategies as all benefits from World Wars will apply, including Council, Museum, University, Library, Manufactory, and even Coalitions!

These Custom World Wars will not give a War Chest, Glory, Alliance XP, basic resources, or Rubies for participating. Custom World Wars also have the same duration as a regular World War. You won’t be able to queue for a World War or Custom World War if there is an active War phase for either mode. You’ll want to keep in mind that Alliances won’t be able to leave a Custom World War until it is completed.

When creating a Custom World War, you’ll go to the same menu as though you were setting up a search for a World War, you’ll then receive a Custom World War ID that you can share with the Alliance you wish to enter a Custom World War with.

When receiving a Custom World War ID, head to the World War menu and select ‘Join Custom World War’. Inputting the Custom World War ID of the game you’re trying to join will take both Alliances into the planning phase!

This should give you the freedom to easily set up your own rules for various community-made challenges. Go for a Tanks-only war; maybe take your chances at going for a war without a Museum or Councilor set. We hope you enjoy challenging Alliances in this new addition to your War experience when it goes live on 4/1!

Conqueror’s Chests​

Currently, if you decide to go for a full defensive build in World Wars, it can be tough to meet the requirements for a Conqueror’s Chest. We believe you shouldn’t receive a lesser reward because you dedicated yourself to helping your Alliance achieve victory by playing defensively. As such, we’re updating the requirements for receiving a Conqueror’s Chest!

Conqueror’s Chests will now be rewarded to all players of the winning Alliance so long as you complete both of your Attacks. The requirements for the Cadet’s and Combatant’s Chests will remain the same.

Automation Age Upgrades​

The next wave of upgrades for Automation Age Leaders is on the way! This time we’re looking at the Command Post and Mercenary Camp.

Building	Upgrade Time	Citizens	Cost	HP	XP Amount
Command Post	16d	4	15,000,000 Food	27,464	6,000
Mercenary Camp (Level 16 Max. Mercenaries - 6)	17d	4	21,000,000 Food	17,245	5,500

Spoiler: Level 16 Mercenaries

Unit	HP	DPS	Bonus DPS	Range	Req’d Goods
PMC Operative (Mercenary Heavy Infantry)	1,375	352	176 Against Infantry	1.5	9 Leather 9 Fur
MX-7 Gagamba (Mercenary Raider)	3,410	615	1,845 Against Resource Buildings	1.5	10 Cider 10 Leather
Type 10 Heavy Tank (Mercenary Heavy Tank)	36,650	1950	7,800 Against Cavalry, Generals, and Heavy Tanks	1.25	11 Cider 5 Diamond

Storefront Update​

In 12.4 we’ve done a bit of reorganizing to our in-game storefront! Some sales will now be sorted into groups, and each group will have multiple deals for easier navigation and visibility of the contents within the sale. For example, an option for Troop Tactic deals will be listed and can feature multiple options within that category. This is in lieu of each individual option being available on the left side of this menu.

(Samples of what these groups will look like with update 12.4, these images don't necessarily reflect actual bundles or items available in the store)

Our step-up deals will not feature this updated look, however, this should reduce some of the scrolling when navigating the storefront and get you back to playing faster!

Additional Fixes​

• Removed the 2nd Defensive Drone that would spawn for Alliances that had Perk 23.
  • A 2nd Defensive Drone spawning was not intentional for the combination of Drone Command and Alliance Perk 23. Because of that the destruction of the Drone Command wouldn’t remove this 2nd Defensive Drone as it wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. This update now has the Drone Command building working as intended.
• You can now select another Museum Loadout without it reverting back to Loadout 1.
  • This fix is a continuation of the Museum Loadout fixes in update 12.3. If this issue persists or any further issues arise, please reach out to our CS Team.

 

The initial idea is to avoid having an easy go-to for farming rewards and resources. The team will keep an eye on things of course as this could change in the future, but no promises at this time.

私にとっては課題が集まっているように思えます。 そこで疑問が生じます。すでにチャレンジの場合と同様に、何も勝てなかったら、何も使い果たされないのでしょうか？

友好的な挑戦と同様に、軍隊、傭兵、または軍隊の戦術に損失はありません。

Just like friendly challenges there is no loss to troops, mercenaries, or troop tactics!

 

To be honest, it's not impressive. But at least it’s clear what you’ve been doing all this time - “Custom World Wars”. Info Age players will be especially “delighted” that again they don’t have anything particularly new.

But in general, well done guys, don’t sit idle

P.S. I apologize for perhaps be too direct, and maybe I’ll spoil your celebration of the update a little. But this is a very unhealthy trend - in the pursuit of innovations, you completely ignore the requests (many of which are long-standing) of the players. This is a very lasting dark impression based on observations of the forum and the lack of improvements really expected and wanted by players in the game. You, figuratively speaking, are building new extensions to the house instead of repairing the roof of the house, which is leaking in some places.

 

Hi @Harlems369th I installed the be new update yesterday but I cannot see the new ‘Shopfront’. Is this going live later in April?

Updated this portion to clear up some things here. The shopfront update will be exclusively for newer deals, not cleaning the older deals (step-ups). You'll see the first examples of this starting 4/8, the update is 'in the game', but not player facing until 4/8.

 

After the update the game, the Storefront and "Events!" appears every time when I start the game, even when switching the game from background mode. This didn't happen before. It's annoying. Please take off that behavior. I can on one's own look into the Storefront and/or "Events!" myself when I need it.
Thank you.

 

My Library is done. Any new book selections coming? The librarian is getting real bored… Maybe an internet Cafe?

 

Sega, well said.
No one should be offended.
To the staff, thanks for all the improvements over the years, well done. Too many to list.
Alas the work will never be done so carry on improving.
My big one is finding opponents that are more evenly match in regular wars as I spend quite a bit of time going through opponents that are far too high above me to tackle. TYFYC

 

My money is on cheating happening if glory is awarded. Alliance families can custom match to bring all their alliance up. Just saying cause some folks will do it

I love it. Now we can do world wars vs viewers of my channel DomiNations Gamer. Guys make sure you leave your alliances names in the comments and we can war

 

You degrade the Air Transport more and more, why don't you directly eliminate that troop? Why continue with it if you are lowering its quality? We know that it is very, very good, there is a reason why those of us who give it importance use it, but what you do makes us lose the desire to play.

He specifically said will not give a War Chest, Glory, Alliance XP, basic resources, or Rubies

Well since ya trying be difficult I also said “ IF “ lol

Acabamos de perder un guerra por errores , siguen dando estrellas demás en batallas,,,arreglen eso de una vez por favor....

むしろ、その繰り返しが誤解を招き、間違っているのです。 星は正しく数えられます。

 

もしかしたら、私はその発表を見逃していたのかもしれない。とにかく、QoLのアップデートがあり、戦争中にスパイ活動が自動的に行われるようになった。 これには感謝している。

 

Hi All,
I'm newer on the forum and Leader of an alliance. I read the new Custom War, but I've not clear the way how we can find or share the Custom World War ID with other alliance?
The in-game chat isn't the best and how could I contact an alliance to see if they're interested in trying out a custom war?
Usually isn't possible to contact other players or alliance in the game without leave the alliance and then come back.
So I've not clear how can contact an alliance without leave mine.

You'll want to try linking up with another Alliance by reaching out for interest in DomiNations social spaces like the forums here, or even through other platforms like Discord!
