ok ok let me breath!!

1. Bug Fixes...which ones? they are many from previous updates. Can we have a more specific list?
2. More specific about Dock? This is a much anticipated rebalance!! Hope it will be as all players dreamed of....
3. More troops...yeah!!! SA will have a much clearer advantage now
4. Troop tray!! YES YES YES A minor edit if that is possible. Consider changing War tactics at the front of the line, right after Wonders.
5. New COA.....Fighter Damage will be a must now at the museum!! Reroll guys!
6. stronghold level 6. What new will it bring? more troop cards allowed per battle or more in defense?Or nothing? Just more damage?

Overall it´s a nice update I think.

Two questions about the new coalition
- Does it boost the generals in defence or in offence or both?
- Do paratroopers belong to the airstrip units? If I remember correctly they were buffed by other coalitions, hence count already as factory or barrack troops.

Look at MD 500 Helicopter, its on defense. My guess is, its the same thing with Generals.

No fix for the Performance on iOS? I am not playing the game since 2 months anymore

 

[Thud_]

Can we get a screen shot of the new tray?

 

[Chadwicke]

More crap to make the game worse , feel bad for the cheaters that would have to spend extra time in the matrix getting more free cards precious seconds you will never get back

 

[pckrn]

i like that expeditions will be changed. hopefully the russian taiwanese and jamaican ports will feature things that feel russian taiwanese and jamaican

i dont like that troop tactics will come before regular troops and tactics.

 

[NoMem Wilson]

We all ready have 120 roads. So how many more roads are we getting?

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

The troop tactics coming before any of the things you can actually build says a lot without saying a word.

 

[~Kratos~]

My thoughts exactly

'Bug fixed and improvements' is the header for the last section in his post, the actual content is just: minor art fixes, minor text edits. There's -no- actual bug fix in this update. TinSoldier dropped by domi prime and told us that even the alliance perk 3 bug won't be fixed in this update. Over 3 months of waiting for that now, it is incredible...

 

[Althalus]

I’m hoping it’s a typo and they’ve got troop tactics and war tactics the wrong way around. Slim hope I know...

 

[jagadeeshgarapati]

Hi tin, can you please provide few details about the changes.
1. How many national trade goods required for level 8 coalitions.
2. Does stronghold upgrade increases troop tactic space.
3. Does this " reduces damage from invading Airstrip troops" of Filipino coalitions effect on paratroopers?
​​​​
thanks in advance

 

[heist]

Looks good but can you tell us a bit more about the new bugs you'll be introducing with this update?

 

[hawkeye2701]

Most games when launching their expansion or new feature, they will try to bring their new player to join in these new features as well. But this won´t happen in Domination, new player will be left dead (a.k.a quit) in older age. Even paid player still struggle to go to Atomic Age. Only old player, some month/ a year of paid player, or a whale can go to CWA/ SA. And this is not good.

We need more new player join in the Atomic and CWA, with decent defense and good attack. Especially in war.

So, I propose:
- cut 50% upgrade time for building using gold
- cut 33% upgrade time for building using food

Old player and paid player will still have advantage in University, Armory, and building using Oil.

I´m an old player, 3+ year, but I don´t mind new player getting this advantage. It´s better then Domination dying because no new player in later age.

Makes sense, however any sort of massive and logical reduction in time, for anything, is a nonstarter with these people. They seem to be under the impression that their meager allotment of speedups is good enough. Nevermind that all the speedups I've ever received since they were introduced may tally up to four weeks in total. In other words, about 2 atomic upgrades worth.

I've honestly never seen a gaming studio so pigheaded. Not just about this but matchmaking, chat, bug fixes, communication in general with the player base. There's a very solid base game here but their stubborn and inexplicable lack of attention to the details keeps it from being so much more.

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

It's beating a dead horse but allowing us to buy one hour speedups, or better yet, speedup chests with the 5 minute ones removed, with gold/food/oil would really mitigate a lot of this game's mid-to-late game issues. Though honestly most of the new players that pop into my alliance rarely make it to gunpowder age anymore, so I'm not even sure a reduction in the tedium that begins in industrial age would help expand the player base. They honestly seem to have zero interest in growing the game and only seem interested in milking the few whales left. The new factory, coalition and defensive building levels will undoubtedly provide a nice boost to the end of month financials, but then what?

 

[danron1376]

need a fix for performance issues on both IOS and Android. game is very unplayable on many devices.

 

[King Crimson]

More troops for SA? Where?
Also, in what game is wonder tactics more important than troops? Troops are the first thing we drop so it should be ahead of the wonder tactics.
