[11/03/2021 Bulk item removal]

Sorry for that, @S Keillan!
Looks like one reference to the old formula remained unfound (that's my bad!)... that should now be rectified, please let me know if things still don't work as expected (in which case I'll refund any lost resources).

And just to preempt the associated question: the minimum amount of any resource that will be charged for using this perk is 1, i.e. if you have 0 peacekeeping points, but the cost is 6%, you will need at least 1 point to perform the additional capture.

[11/03/2021 Bulk item removal]

As an additional "sub-update" released just now:

• Construction of premium buildings now shows a confirmation prompt prior to commencing.
• "Show Route" context menu item added to lands, bases and buildings, allowing to view directions on Google Maps.
• "Expert Settler" perk no longer costs a % of the maximum storage capacity, but instead a % of the currently possessed resource, making it more affordable.

[11/03/2021 Bulk item removal]

Hi all,

An update went live yesterday and should get automatically deployed to all devices imminently (no need to download anything from the Play/App Store manually).
Featuring:

• Ability to delete more than one item at a time from your inventory and warehouse.
• When deploying an Exploration Drone, tapping on its icon above the selected position will display the distance to the currently chosen coordinate.
• Performance improvements: this should be more visible around the perks, inventory & item management aspects, but the app will perform 5-10% better across the board (incl. loading of lands on Earth View), as certain server-side operations became faster.

Please post if you have any questions!

I just noticed that you finally implemented the deletion of individual chosen amounts of items at once within the Warehouse and I just wanted to say that I absolutely love it. Thank you! 😍

Awesome! 😁

Sorry it took so long, the last three months continued to be a wild rollercoaster for me time-wise.

Official announcement about this update will follow tomorrow. 😉

[Unable to complete quest - too many supplies]

23 hours ago, Isabellez said:

Hi there, not sure if there is now an option to delete supplies? I would appreciate it if you could reset mine to 0 so that I can complete the Recycling benefits quest

@Ruvox is correct!

However, I am happy to help out with resetting your supplies in this instance (done!), please let me know if there's anything else we can assist with.

[AI]

Just wanted to let you know that our Ai invasion rules have been adjusted:

• The Ai now considers your stationed army at the invaded base and the amount of soldiers you could build (using your currently available resources).
• The Ai will not invade any players with fewer than 400 defenders (whether currently stationed or available to build) regardless of the Ai's army size.
• The Ai will not invade any player whose total army (stationed + possible) is smaller than theirs.

Please note that these rules apply to invasion only (i.e. attacks with an Ai army). The Ai can still occasionally attack your lands using their guard towers, missile launchers and other offensive structures regardless of your army size.

Same as before, if the Ai is bothering you too much the best course of action is to destroy their base, stopping all Ai activity for a week.

I hope that helps!

[Dominations account not start new phone old account]

Sorry, for "DomiNations" accounts you would need to contact their support.
Our game ("Domination: Earth") is not affiliated with DomiNations in any way.

[Drone Drop Rate]

On 2/12/2021 at 2:01 AM, Luna said:

Is there any way to increase the drop rate for drones? I’ve never found one since the rate was lowered after they came out, even though I scrap pretty regularly. I’ve talked to Celestius and they haven’t gotten any either, so it’s not just me. And yes, there’s space in my inventory.

Did you ever receive any other items as a scrap reward (bullhorn, magnet etc.)?

In any case I've increased the chance slightly, let's see how that goes.

How to stop the constant attacks of the AI. 1200 AI vs. 38 me. It kills all the Fun! 

Every soldier i gain by walking, getts killed instantly by the AI. Because you can't truce or escape it I loose the motivation to keep playing. 

Anybody tips to stay alive from the constant AI attacks?

Sorry for a delay in response!

Actually, I don't think the AI is supposed to do that; there were failsafes in place preventing the AI from attacking first if your army is significantly smaller.
This could be a bug (or a machine uprising), I will investigate.

The good news are though that the AI's behaviour patterns randomize every day, so eventually it is bound to give you a break (while I'm looking into the problem)!

[Notifications not working]

Hold on, looks like they’re working again.

Hurray!

I was hoping that would be the case. 😅

It takes some time for the new certificate to propagate, I suspect it finally reached your device.

[Drone distance labeling]

Fair enough, sounds like a reasonable suggestion!

Added to the list.

[Notifications not working]

@Luna things should hopefully be back to normal now, could you please let me know if the notifications work / still don't work?

[Notifications not working]

Thanks for the report!
Yep, Apple notified us that they have decided to sabotage this functionality for our app.

I will do my best to resolve this as soon as possible.

[Large land mergers]

On 1/11/2021 at 6:52 AM, EMonster said:

I inadvertently clicked on the Build Missile Launcher button on a small (Level 7) piece of land when intending to just upgrade wall and tower, and used some of the free Christmas Unobtainium (Thanks, Mr. D!) for a Missile Launcher I didn't really want. 

So if I'm reading this new logic correctly, if I expand a nearby land (Level 8+) and merge the Level 7 land into it, the Missile Launcher will disappear and I will get the 5 UBT back?

No big deal either way, but that would be nice.

Correct, premium buildings disappearing as a result of merges will issue a full refund.

Please let me know if you run into any issues though and I'll be happy to help!

[Small feature request]

On 12/31/2020 at 7:29 AM, Ruvox said:

No problem! Panels of quests have two buttons. The First one allows you to navigate to the quest by opening the exact position in Google maps. AFAIK this is currently the only feature in the game providing exact coordinates. Long time ago we had this also for bases but you removed it together with other geo-data changes. However, this feature was always great to plan trips and especially the possible locations of new bases. 
Currently both, lands and bases/outposts, have a context menu where an additional button would imo not bother anyone but bring back the ability of making precise plans using geo-data. As this feature already exists (for quests only) I would guess that it's possible again and not that much of an expense.

Ah, yep, that is not a problem indeed, thanks for clarifying.

Adding to the task list!

[Can I delete my account?]

On 12/27/2020 at 11:59 PM, Harry Ho said:

I love the game is that I want to deleted account link in Game Center. There is one account which is the base is named King Harry That I want to keep and the rest can go bye bye. The two account is the way which I can connect to Game Center. So is it possible to remove lord Draco and Harry something away

I am getting a very strong vibe that you are not talking about "Domination: Earth" either, since we have no Game Centers. 😅
Can I ask how did you find a link to this forum and what is the name of the game you are playing?
I am just very curious as to why we have this entire thread of people asking to delete an account from a game that doesn't belong to us (and where did you guys come from). 😁

[Small feature request]

Since we already have a little "collect" button at the panel of quests, wouldn't it be nice to have the same button on each resource panel? That way it could be possible to collect resources the "usual" way without wasting a charge of a maybe active Super Magnet. This distinction between usual collect operations and those using charges was requested a few times much earlier. However, now this seems to be feasible much easier than before.

That idea makes a lot of sense indeed!
It will probably require some adjustments to the item descriptions to avoid confusion (as that exception seems to be only applicable to the charge-enabled items / super magnets alone; no reason why an active metal detector should not increase the individual resource collection radius as well).
But I'll definitely add this into my task list!

7 hours ago, Ruvox said:

Same but different about the "navigation" button on quest panels. Would be great to have the same (back) for bases and maybe even lands now that those have got a context menu.

I may need some additional clarification on that feature though as I'm not sure I understand what navigation button you are referring to, sorry! 😊

 

[Happy holiday season 2020!]

Hello everyone,

It is no secret that 2020 has been a crazy year that threw a myriad of challenges at all of us, caused a lot of grief and even sabotaged our games in more than one way.

But at the same time I want to say "thank you!" to all members of our community for being patient with us and continuing to play "Domination: Earth" despite all the delays and setbacks.
And I would like to give a very special thanks to our most supportive players without whom our servers would honestly not be running today:

⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐
Kellenasia
Ruvox
Agusta
Maarten Verduyckt
WinterHeart626
BrianK
Celestius
Z3nd
Sirenos
LWHsieh
⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐

Guys, your contributions are extremely appreciated and your Unobtainium purchases in the last couple of months were life-saving for this project. Thank you.

On this note I would like to wish everyone a great holiday season and a happy new year, which we truly hope will bring some joy and happiness to our lives and zero new apocalyptic mishaps. 😅

Since we sadly did not have the capacity to organize a Christmas event this year, all users who played "Domination: Earth" in December 2020 have now automatically received 25 units of Unobtainium as a token of Christmas spirit.

Thank you, everyone, and see you all next year!

[Borken quest]

15 hours ago, Ruvox said:

I got a broken Quest "local roundup" which is no longer counting any Travel Points which I am collecting. So I am currently unable to complete this Quest but I don't want to abandon it.

Hi @Ruvox!

Could you please elaborate on the "no longer" part, i.e. what is the current quest progress?
Testing this quest locally myself, the Travel Point award from land captures does seem increase the progress.
Wondering if you have obtained Travel Points via an untested scenario... this happened after a new level 1 land capture, right?

I've rebooted the server just in case something froze as well; please let me know if the issue disappears on its own.

[Utility Base Points]

On 12/4/2020 at 7:24 AM, Luna said:

I’ve noticed an issue where upgrading a utility structure doesn’t increase your base level anymore. Was that intentional?

Hi Luna,

My apologies for a delay, this has taken way longer than it should have!

I could not find any evidence that the change you described was intentional, so I've fixed the utility structure upgrade (a fix has just been released) which should once again award your base with the experience points.

Please let me know if that isn't the case.

[Can I delete my account?]

On 12/3/2020 at 4:20 AM, Seeker said:

Uhm can you delete my account i wanna start over again Username : Seeker hope can deleted thanks

Sorry, we don't have a user with that name in "Domination: Earth"; are you sure this is the game you're playing?

[Utility Base Points]

Hmm... I am ashamed to admit that I am not quite sure, this area was changed back and forth way too many times. 😁
I can see from the code that only placing of new utility structures awards the experience points and I do remember that some time ago upgrading them did the same.
But that logic seems to have been removed for quite a while now (and I haven't changed any game logic for several months now; definitely not since October 2020).

I will keep digging as there must have been an announcement about this change, but at this moment I'm afraid I do not remember which version is the "intentional" one. 😊

  I just sent you some coins, hope it buys you some inspiration!

Thanks, @Max Siren! 🙂
Your support is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, all development stalled in November due to some turmoil at work and in other personal aspects, things have been extremely stressful and I couldn't find any time to progress DE at all.
However, I am hopeful that with some help from a Christmas miracle things will get back to normal in 2021 and I will be able to finish the features I was talking about.

[Quest Issues]

Sorry for a delay in response!

How about now (I've made a small adjustment to your active OQRTA)?

If it still doesn't look right, could I ask you to screenshot your quest log and PM it to me, please (to see your currently active quests and the quest slot counter at the top)?
 

[Request: bulk deletion of items]

Apologies for delays with response, the last couple of months were absolutely insane and I am suffering from a severe lack of time right now.

However, as soon as I get an opportunity to write some code I will do my best to expedite this feature request.
