Update Notes: v4.1.x

[Guest]

The v4.1.x update of DomiNations has been released!
**Please note that it may take some time for the update to become available everywhere, so please be patient when attempting to download it.**

New features:
War Coalitions & The Embassy!

• Rebuild the Embassy to form powerful Coalitions with 8 different civilizations to gain a formidable edge in World War

National Trade Goods!

• Collect 8 new National Trade Goods by defeating different Nations in multiplayer battle!

New Building Upgrades!

• Bazookas can now be upgraded to level 2: Heavy Bazooka
• Farms can now be upgraded to level 16
• Caravans can now be upgraded to level 16
• Players can now build an additional Factory in the Global Age

Inventory System!

• Gifts and Sale package items are now stored in your Inventory in the Inbox

Balance Changes

• Bazooka damage significant reduced, but their multiplier against Buildings, Tanks, and Walls significantly increased.
  • DomiNations is a strategy game of combined arms. For this to be true, each unit must have a balanced set of things it dominates and things it fears. The problem is Bazookas were both dominating their intended targets (buildings, tanks, and walls,) AND beating the troops they were supposed to fear (defending soldiers.) With this change, Bazookas are still very powerful but will work best with the support of troops that can handle those soldiers (things like Riflemen or Heavy Machine Guns.)
• Range of Mortars and Guard Mortars increased from 3 to 4.
  • The first two ranks of the Mortar line now have the same range as the rest of the line.
• Command chapters 1, 3, and 4 have been changed:
  • Chapter 1 and 3 now reduce General cooldowns by 1 hour each (previously was 4% each)
  • Chapter 4 now allows players to train a third General using oil (previously was +10% General damage)
• Nobunaga rank 31 has 24,778 hitpoints (was 34,778.)
• Napoleon rank 31-40 now has an attack range of 5 (was 3.)

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Troop Donation messages are saved between donation requests
• Added a notification when the Daily Dock Bonus is ready
• Rocks and trees no longer appear on top of oil seeps
• Command Post tutorial now warns you about storage limits
• Bookmarked Alliances no longer required a hard reset to appear

• Air unit target reticule correctly appears where you tapped
• Event or new troops appear in a defense histories on previous versions
• Generals visually appear at their correct level in the retrain window
• Health bars on Industrial Age Wonders update correctly
• Base layout will correctly save during the tutorial
• Transport Plane now plays a death animation when destroyed
• Updated the Demolition weakness text to include the 50% damage penalty to Town Centers
• Added a tutorial to help explain the Vault building

Hi, thanks for the notes! Can you confirm if there are fixes for these issues, as they've all been mentioned in your posts or state of the nations as having work being done?

1) Connection error crashes leading to reduced stars on war map, or lost war attacks with network connection error
2) Fixes for the alliance search feature
3) Fixes for the vanishing medal issue

Its hard to tell right after this update (And hard to get excited about new content until these are fixed)

 

[Buckman21]

Still no war replays.... we really need them to know how to help alliance members improve.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

oh fixes for visuals and text again, no fix for real issues

 

[GoldDS]

Shame on Nexon! No fixes! They don't care!

 

[Prodigal Clint]

So, no fixes on the primary issues that have been plaguing the community for months? Just more new content I could care less about if the game doesn't function as intended.. Speechless

Update- just took a look, appears alliance search remains unchanged.. Really?! You couldn't even roll that back to the previous search algorithm... seriously?

Update 2- logged on for second time since updating, greeted by spinning wheel of death

 

[Hong Kong Army®]

Disappointed...no war replay, no fix on medal drop issue and game crash bug...
More importantly, how can 1 armory carry out all those upgrades which take 10 days each now, let alone general upgrades!

Interesting new features with the coalitions and trade goods, hope it adds a unique new element to war...will have to see. Additional factory is kind of a big one, right? Though I think I may be assuming it adds additional space...which it probably does not. Not sure why everyone is up in arms about this update...war replays and other mentioned issues are huge fixes that are probably being addressed, just because they are not complete yet does not mean you do not push other updates. Not to mention we seem to be assuming that they can simply just put all devs on working on exactly what we want done...which is not the case because not all devs would necessarily be able to do the work. Either way, I have way too much patience because I work for a tech startup lol

National trade goods seem to be bugged. I bought the embassy with crowns and was told to attack a chinese to gain tea. I did and got 1 tea. After that I attacked around 10 more people, most of them displayed that there would be a national resource to gain. I mostly got 5 stars, but NO national trade good from anyone.

Edit: more bugs, the CS interface is not working properly any more. I cannot add a screenie in the beginning, the button is missing. After I sent my ticket for the national trade goods, I got a wall of text, and then I tried tapping where the button was before. Now I could upload my screenies, the button seems to be invisible now.
On top, what I wrote is invisible now, too. I can no longer see my own text, only the two screenies I uploaded and the wall of standard text I got back. So no idea if CS will ve able to read any of my ticket.

Next bug: I can now see my general again on my war base. But I only see 1, though I learned the library perk for having two active.

I play on an IPad air.

 

[Prodigal Clint]

its been two months ..

 

[ScipioA]

After I downloaded the update I get that spinning wheel of death and cannot play the game :-(

National Trade Goods!

• Collect 8 new National Trade Goods by defeating different Nations in multiplayer battle!
  
  how it works? I defeated rimans in multiplayer for 100% / 5 stars and nothing happens

 

[Isrem Ovani]

Same with me, numerous 5 star wins against opponents that have listed one could win a special type, but none gotten.

 

[ealing92]

Anyone had issues donating troops to alliance members since upgrade? Keep trying to donate to requests but nothing happening and no troops going to requests

 

[Sletteer1987]

A few of my alliance members used crowns to buy the embassy and have done multiple attacks and no National Trade Goods.

 

[phall7382]

Anyone had issues donating troops to alliance members since upgrade? Keep trying to donate to requests but nothing happening and no troops going to requests

yes ive been unable to donate since update but that may change when all have the update

 

[Eddie F1]

The update does not fix the crashing on startup that me & approximately 500,000 others suffer from - I really wanted to get those Level 16 farms under construction.

 

[S_How]

If your tech startup prioritizes, tests and develops like nexon you probably won't be able to use that last line much longer lol.

I jest, but in all seriousness there really is no adequate explanation for any company to ignore horrible function breaking issues with their product and release new (seemingly also broken) content and still expect customers to accept it. It's just very frustrating to see, as the 95% negative commentary shows. No one is really upset that they have developed new things, it's the fact that they just aren't putting enough priority on the bugs and glitches.

It would be like if Ben and Jerry accidentally put dog crap in their ice cream, and then decided devote all resources to redesign lids for their pint containers as their top priority.

 

[King Mike]

Hmmm... Lots of new stuff,however I see nothing on subjects like: Crooked Crown Compensation, Hopeless Horrible Helpers .... Automatic Annoying Answers, Clever Cheating Champions, Unbeleivable Unexplained Updaters,Missing Medal Mayhem, Constant Continuous Crashing, Ludicrous Lagging Logs and last but not least, Perplexing Peace Treaty Trashing.

 

[Crimsondragonfly]

I like the new update. Even if it is still glitchy for me. But yeah, don't like the crooked crown compensation, the cheaters, and the horrible medal system. I would to see these things addressed. But thanks for your work with this update.
