Leaderboard

Hi all, Another exciting update is going to appear on the Play Store shortly (and we're still waiting for the App Store to catch up; will post again once the update is available for iOS too ). Version 1.18 features the following changes: Czech language! Special thanks goes to @Bilescu for a super-quick translation! Content for Easter 2018, which is due to start on Friday (30th of March 2018) and last until the 8th of April 2018. You will not see any changes yet, but I will create a separate thread soon describing what exactly is going to happen. Brand new Leaderboards system! We're moving away from Google Play Games at last, which means that both platforms (Android and iOS) will have equal access to our Leaderboards. Our own version of Leaderboards is based on your in-game Display Names and Lands Titles (and it is not possible to opt out of being displayed there ), so you'll know exactly who's the boss around. On top of that, regional Leaderboards are now available, listing the same information per country: country-specific boards are accessible via a new button appearing on the "Country Stats" tooltip (binoculars icon on Earth View). For instance, if you have 5 square kilometers captured in the US and 50 square kilometers in the UK, your combined total of 55 square km will appear on the global "Land Area (m2)" leaderboard, but you can still see how much land you have in each of those countries individually. Regional boards that contain generic information (e.g. Richest Lands) will only list players with lands/bases in the selected country, but the score will be the same in all of them (as you cannot have different amounts of Money in different countries ). Three new Leaderboards are now available: 1. Lands Captured: listing unique lands captured globally/in the selected country (regardless of their size). 2. Top Peacekeepers: listing the most prolific fighters against terror. 3. Points of Fame: listing the leaders of PvP combat. All leaderboard contents update once every 24 hours. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

I suspect you're correct, judging by your report it sounds like that is the case! Will see if that can be adjusted.

Hmm... that is a good question! I will investigate and if that is the case - will remove the GPS requirement in the next update.

I agree with @Ruvox. No base - no trade. You can't buy something you cannot "see" from your base. Otherwise what's the point of travelling if I can buy lands in other countries without ever visiting them...

I think @Grizzlyfilms is talking about the possibility to trade lands with allies who are outside of your base range(es) and so can not be tracked at the moment. However, I'm not really happy with this idea since a base should be established first to be able to perform actions wherever. To be exactly there are still lands visible via tracking a few kilometers outside of the base range(es) which can not be bought. But to be honest on this one... Who cares ? Stability goes over those little thing I guess

Sorry, that has actually nothing to do with the update; the problem was caused by a server-side optimization. This should now be fixed; please let me know if tracking still doesn't work for you! It is about the total amount of currently owned lands indeed: merging lands improves your score in the "Land Area (m2)" leaderboard and lowers the score in the "Lands Captured". On a separate subject: this has been asked before about the Google Play leaderboards, so I thought I'd answer this question in advance - all leaderboards update once every 24 hours; no changes get reflected on the board instantly.

@Grizzlyfilms I appreciate your ideas, but as mentioned previously; let's keep them in one place! The problem is that I don't have a large team of developers here; it's just me building the game and to implement a list like that (just from your post above, not talking about all other ideas suggested in other threads on the forum) I would need *years* of development. Of course, I do want to have more of "everything" in "Domination: Earth" (different units, more complex alliance systems etc. etc.), but time is a very limited resource, so I have to prioritize new features very carefully. If I told you that I can build all of that in the next few months I would most certainly be lying. However, I am doing my best to introduce new features one at a time, so stay tuned for more updates (and yes, I have read all of your ideas in all threads).
