Greetings Leaders,

DomiNations update 12.9 is on the way! This larger update will give Alliances a new Parliament Branch to explore. Our players in Drone Age and beyond can look forward to new books to research in the Library. We also give you an early glimpse at two upcoming Legendary Artifacts, and highlight the next Councilor for your Council Chambers!

New Parliament Branch - Defense Funding
Many of our highly productive Alliances have expressed that they’re hoping we’re adding more to the Parliament Building. With 12.9 we’ll be introducing the Defense Funding branch, this branch helps your Alliance Members navigate Defensive upgrades, and improves Defenses in World Wars. This feature won’t be live until the Update is available for all players.

Wellerson has brought some valid points I hope the staff is paying attention too.

I do tend agree they need to do a audit on top 100 event, seasonal winner, or any jumping mass exp should take place. I do feel that BHG has zero clue or care currently in stopping even the most obvious of cheating nor will they provide a list of everything that hit your base?

I understand a real replay system is not within in reach for this game. Yet I have too call it as I see it. Not providing a list of everything used in battle to every player after after battle leaves every battle that has ever taken place on this game in doubt of a fair winner. This trust the war score is frankly a joke.

Simple do what a business leaking money should do. Do a complete audit of the top 20% of players match dollars spent to progress.( use your accounting firm if BHG can’t track the money) Then provide a true battle report that shows everything that hit your base. Anything that is found can be reported with confidence something will be done. This would close one of the biggest holes in security this game has beside server abuses.

Just saying you care about cheating doesn’t fix it actuality BHG helping them cheat by lack of action.

 

Does the new law "Spike Trap Damage Range increased by 1" mean that the spike traps deal area of effect damage, or just that a fast unit that passes over the trap quickly still might take the damage?
If its area of effect damage, that is pretty OP defense-wise if it deals the damage it does to a whole group of units.

My money is on how far the damage extends once triggered - so AoE radius has increased

 

i echo the sentiment of others in this thread. Bad rollout of upgrades. Library upgrades are only attainable at Drone Age, but seem mostly beneficial to much, much, earlier ages. And, did you guys really just LOWER the max capacity for oil from 519k to 385k, just to include new library research books to increase it??? Who green lighted this?

 

With all these reductions in spawn times (eg from the manufactory and the new parliament branch), it makes sense to update how the spawn times are calculated in battle. Add the extended spawn times of the attacker and subtract the spawn time of the defender and then cap (rather than capping the defender spawn time first). That way, further spawn time reductions are worthwhile pursuing..

 

"Castle Spawn Detection Radius increased by 1" ... not much point in this when Castle Spawn Detection Radius is still broken.

All resource capacity was increased for the season event. Now we're back to (ab)normal.

 

How about some research so we can spy council and manufactury ? And how about fixing the presets?

@Harlems369th

to @SirBiggun and also any others:

Based on fairly long-term communication on the forum and the results of appeals to BHG, I can advise - forget about all sorts of "fix", "fixes", "fixing", and especially about "fixed" - this is not about BHG at all - they don't give a damn about the requests of the players. There are plenty of "this is not a bug, this is a feature" in the game, but the laziness and indifference to the requests of the players of the development team is their (BHG) main distinguishing feature. Accept it - and play with what you now have.

P.S. Let me give you a simple example. It is often discussed on the forum that it is almost impossible to defend yourself from a horde of mortarmen in the game. Yes, this is true - it is essentially an "absolute weapon" that, as we know, should not exist. But I perceive it differently now - it is simply a mistake in the game, and there are those who successfully use this flaw in the game. It's simple - take a somewhat philosophical attitude to the mistakes of this game. At some point the number of mistakes will exceed the patience of many players, then everything will end sadly. In the meantime - let's continue playing!

 

there is a glitch in 12.9 when trying to add recources from inventorys game crushers.

 

you announced the delay of the 12.10 update which is good but can we have the notes of the update. this communication is nice... keep it up

 

the way we change between accounts is horrible. Just today, I had to reload 8 times between 2 accounts just to be able to send army to one another. Can you do something about it?

Unfortunately, release notes will only be published when the update is available.
But I also wondered how v12.10 could be delayed, because I hadn't even read an announcement for it. Where did I miss the announcement?

 

Not only are no expected fixes being made in the updates, but now they are also being delayed. Bravo, BHG!

when i search forums on google there is a little X window and that announces the tweets and one of them is the update and the delay of it

 

All I got to say is before I buy stuff I now just think about all the stuff that is broke and been a good money saver. When a war game is broken so bad I can’t tell if any battle is legit saves me money.

As few have said in this thread fix your game BHG we are out of patience.

@Harlems369th @TheWise

All these comments by vets are not the usual boo-hoo comments like "this game sucks" or "defense sucks" etc - these are genuine and valid complaints by your customers - the people that pay your wages, or a good portion of it.
We're all for the game - that's why we've stuck around this long and that's why we make suggestions - and this is why we make genuine complaints. We want this game to not only be better but, at the most basic level, to work properly.
I don't think that's asking too much.

 

Pourquoi ne pas relancer le jeu à zéro en améliorant le temps des recherches et améliorations afin de garder les nouveaux joueurs plus de dix jours. Car, plus une recherche ou une amélioration est longue, moins les gens se connectent au jeu. Certes, il ne faut pas aller trop vite... mais ni trop lentement. Ce jeu est agréable... mais trop long pour la grande majorité des joueurs potentiels. Il faut plusieurs années pour être niveau maximum... c'est un poil exagéré.

Ce jeu est agréable... mais trop long pour la grande majorité des joueurs potentiels. Il faut plusieurs années pour être niveau maximum... c'est un poil exagéré.

As far as I know, at the initial levels of the game, the time for construction and research was significantly reduced, so that favorable conditions have already been created for beginners to understand the game.

And otherwise, long waits are only a consequence of the fact that BHG cannot offer anything new in the game, so they deliberately delay the process - the laziness and inaction of the developers is obvious.

P.S. Understand one simple thing - the owners of the game "from the door threshold" want to immediately receive money from the players - that's why all these long waits, among other things. It would be fine if they used this money to develop and improve the game, then at least it would be clear what people are paying money for.

P.P.S. By the way, according to my subjective observations, over the last year the game has started to give more speed-ups for activity - completing tasks in Events - this is pleasing. But this is still not enough. I repeat - if we develop and build quickly, then BHG the players will simply have nothing to offer in the game, and they need players to be in the game - at least to simply receive profit for watching ads.

A week ago I found a game similar Dominations, I'm taking a closer look at it, playing it. It has interesting gameplay, beautiful graphics, and there are also long waits, but they really do not skimp on speed-ups - this is very pleasing. Gradually, players get tired of this attitude of BHG, and players begin to look for alternatives, but BHG, apparently, does not care about this either.
