  1. You must have been attacked by an Army: armies can be sent up to 100km away from your base to attack remote enemies.
    You can retaliate by going to "Army Controls" and selecting "Attack Lands" or "Attack Bases" as soon as you have an army stationed on a base. ;)

    I see where the confusion is coming from though and will adjust the UI to make the source of that attack more visible!

  2. I do see a sandbag wall in the database that was built on a standalone piece of land (level 2) yesterday at 5:35pm. This level 2 land isn't part of a base, it's just there on its own.
    Perhaps you did it before moving the base and now that the base is here it's no longer possible to see the old land?

    I've never experienced buildings appearing out of nowhere before, but I'm happy for you to keep a free wall; it's only going to help your defences! :)

  3. Hmm.. this could be a geolocation glitch! Unfortunately, every device has its own level of accuracy which also varies greatly in different countries.
    In some places your current position can occasionally jump up to +-50 meters sideways and there isn't much we can do from our end, I'm afraid! :(
    The nearest land distance formula is fairly straightforward.

    However, just to be sure: is that screenshot taken from your blue or purple account?
    Can you please double check just to make sure that the level 9 land isn't the blue one at the top? :)
     

  4. That's correct, you shouldn't be able to see the primary base of another player (as on your second screenshot), but you can still see other captured lands (i.e. not belonging to a base) and buildings that belong to those lands, so that bit is correct!

    It seems like there's a collision between multiple lands at that spot; possibly there was a land in place already and then the base appeared... did you move your base or was it always there?

  5. Hi Jonas!

    And welcome to the community! :)

    I like your ideas and would love to see a "nation wiki" grow at some point!
    There will definitely be more ways to customise your lands further in the future, our only restraint is the time it takes to develop new things. :)
    But there's plenty more updates to be expected!

    In any case, we're glad to have you on board!

  6. Hi!

    Did you see a message at the bottom of the screen saying that you've collected that Personnel?
    If not, then I'm afraid someone stole it right in front of you! :)

    If you did see the message, but the number of personnel didn't increase, it is possible that you've reached the maximum of allowed personnel per base. How many units do you have currently?

  7. Our events are fairly random, but usually take place around public holidays (such as Christmas :)).
    However, as "Domination: Earth" is global and I'm positive there's a holiday for almost every day of the year among all cultures, we stick to the biggest days only (again, Christmas :)) as otherwise we'd not have time to develop new features!

    We've realised that many people missed our Halloween event this year because not everyone checks the forum or facebook news and I apologise for that; we've already built an in-game notification system, so you will see a message next time an event happens. ;)

    There's no strict schedule for these events and we don't know what's going to happen in advance (we like surprises :)).
    But I will be posting details about each such thing at least a couple of days before the event!

  8. Awesome! Glad you like it! :) 

    Animations are definitely in my task list, but they really take a while to build, so I can't comment on which version will include them.

    But we will be enhancing the game visually in all aspects; it's sort of an ongoing project. :) 

  9. Hi all,

    We've rolled out version 1.8 to the Play Store, which features a completely new look for "Domination: Earth" and a darker atmosphere.

    It's quite a radical change, so we're very excited and in anticipation to hear your thoughts and feedback!
    We hope that you like it, but please still let us know if you'd rather stick to the old UI. ;)

    If you do like this change then it is very likely that we will re-style all the icons and buildings to match the new look & feel eventually as well.
    So please post, as the Domination's future depends on it! :) 

    The same update will be released on the App Store later this week.

  10. Hi all,

    An "invisible" server-side update has been released just now, featuring a bunch of fixes and enhancements.
    Most importantly:

    • Scrapping items now has a 5% chance to award you with random items, not just resources. There's also a chance to receive a lot more resources than usual (ten times more on average).
      However, make sure you scan actual items, as QR/RSS and fake bar codes will only award you with basic rewards.
       
    • We're trying out a new anti-cheat system, as the old one was "misbehaving" and blocking legitimate players far too often.
      However, please do not hesitate to contact me if you start seeing an error saying "This location cannot be captured" without any apparent reason!
       
    • Sequential instant notifications, such as the ones notifying you about damage received from a nuclear blast or resources shared by an ally, are now grouped into one.
      You should not receive more than one such notification per 30 seconds.

    More updates will follow soon! ;) 

  11. Good afternoon, everyone!

    "Halloween Scraps" contest is now officially over, thank you all for your great submissions!

    All of them were good, but there's one item in particular that I personally liked most - a "How to be a zombie" guide submitted by @Nishikienrai!

    Congratulations, Nishikienrai, you are a winner of this year's Halloween prize! ;)
    30 units of Unobtainium should appear on your account within a few seconds.

    To those who didn't win this time: don't worry, there will be many more events in the future and more chances to win in-game prizes. ;)

    In any case, I hope you enjoy the weekend and thank you for playing Domination: Earth!

    Hey dude can you do the same thing for me? I tried moving my base twice but I didn't understand how it worked.

    also, how do I change my name? My friend made the account for me and it's horrible. 

    Hi!

    No problem!
    I've reset your base move counter, so it should be free once again; please give it another go! ;)

    Simply make sure that you tap this button while standing in a new place where you'd like your base to be - after you confirm the move your base will relocate instantly to the spot where you're standing.

    In regard to the name: in the game you can change it by going to the Menu -> My Profile, edit "Display Name" and tap "Save".
    As for the forum, if you are browsing from your mobile phone, tap on the menu button (the "hamburger icon" with three lines), then "Account" -> "Account Settings" -> tap on "Settings Area" and select "Display Name", you should see something like this:

    Screenshot_20171102-084007.thumb.png.cf080255ef640a53997b5986a7f6eac1.png

     

    If you are using desktop browser, tap on your name in the upper right corner, choose "Account Settings" and then "Display Name".

    I have no idea why the forum developers decided to hide this feature so well, but I apologise for that. :) 
    If you still can't find this window, just let me know your preferred display name and I'll update it for you! ;) 

    Please post if there is anything else I can help with!

  13. Happy Halloween, generals and warlords of Domination: Earth! :) 

    To celebrate Halloween this year we're launching a couple of promotional events:

    1) For the next couple of days and until further notice there is a chance to scrap Unobtainium from real-world items!
    Please note that it is only possible to receive Unobtainium by scrapping real items, primarily small objects that can be purchased in local shops (e.g. electronics, food, medicine, household items etc.).
    Scanning any non-standard bar codes (e.g. RSS or QR codes) or digitally generated codes (i.e. fake bar codes :)) won't do the trick; you'll simply waste your scrapping charge on regular rewards!

    2) "Halloween-themed Scraps" receive additional rewards!
    Take a picture of the spookiest / most "Halloween-ish" item you've been able to scrap and PM it to me on the forum.
    We'll rate them all and the best submission will receive an additional 30 units of Unobtainium! ;)

    Let the Halloween scrapping begin! :) 

  14. When the pop-up informing you about new resources appearing in the area stops showing this simply means that you've reached the maximum number of resources in a 3km radius. :)
    It's not too easy to do, but still possible!

    You'll regain the ability to generate new resources once you move to a new area or pick up some of the resources laying around to reduce their overall count. ;) 

  15. The idea does make sense, but it would be hard to maintain a "clan" of people you don't know in real life without means of in-game communication and there's a bunch of issues due to which the latter can't be added in the near future, I'm afraid.
    On top of these It would also be a fairly large project as any form of chat/mail implies the need for friend/contact lists, black lists, anti-spam measures, additional storage and a whole load of new UIs.

    Our current priority is to implement all core functionality that was planned before launch, but that we didn't have time to finish (a more advanced combat system is somewhere at the top of that list, for instance :)), but once that's done I'd be happy to look into expanding the game in a more "social" direction. ;) 

  16. Hi Sierrawolf87!

    It seems that your land capture was targeting Hawaii, while your internet connection places you in Kansas (several thousands miles away), which is why you're seeing this error - that's our anti-cheat trying to prevent users from using fake GPS coordinates.

    But unfortunately, it does make mistakes sometimes, so I would be grateful if you could help me out with some information!

    May I ask what country/state you are actually playing from?
    If you were capturing land with your wi-fi enabled, can you please try again after switching it off (or vice versa)?

    If both options don't work (with or without wi-fi) please let me know and I'll see what else can be done about this! ;) 

  17. Ok, a fix has been released (no need to download anything, it only affects our server-side logic), from now on things should be *a little bit* more user-friendly with radiuses:

    If you activate 3 Bullhorns (+300m), 4 Metal Detectors (+400m) and 1 Super Magnet (+300m) the displayed collection radius will be 700m (300m from Super Magnet +400m from Metal Detectors).

    I understand that this still isn't ideal, as you cannot collect a unit of Personnel 700m away from you (due to having only 3 Bullhorns activated instead of 4) even though the radius shown from Metal Detectors "sort of" implies that you should be able to.

    But to completely fix that we'd need to change our radius display system and show multiple "radius rings" (one for each resource) or come up with a better alternative.
    I'll keep thinking about this, as obviously it is frustrating to activate a bunch of items and not understand why certain things within the displayed radius can't be picked up!

    But until a better system is in place, I would advise not to activate all of the item types at once, just to avoid confusion! ;)

    i also lost out on a few supplies that were available and im discovering how important supplies are. I don't really want to come across as b!thing but rather showing some possible flaws that could frustrate players. I'm sure you can see from my account that Im definitely giving this game some time & effort and hope to see it succeed.

    I can certainly understand your position and I appreciate your patience, which is why I've restored your inventory (with a slight "adjustment") and lost supplies. ;) 

    I'll post again after the collection radius issue is fixed!
