Hi all, An exciting new update is about to launch, initially as an in-app update for early testing (later today) and next week+ as version 2.7.0 on the App Store. Edited: Play Store version 2.7.0 is now live. This is a major update featuring a number of changes to the core game mechanics and several feature additions. Characters & Items. A new type of collectibles has been added to the game in the form of Characters. Collectible characters appear at random locations, same as resources, and can be picked up when standing close enough and by using the "Pick up" button. All characters and their names are procedurally generated (any similarities to real-world names are coincidental), but come in a range of rarity levels and classes, and have a unique set of attributes and skills that can be advanced by accumulating character experience. Additionally, all characters can be equipped with items, another set of collectibles distributed around the globe. Both characters and items appear with 1 out of 6 rarity levels. For characters, rarity determines their starting attributes and maximum number of skill upgrades per level. For items, rarity affects their attribute and skill bonus values, possible number of concurrent bonuses per item and damage amount for weapons and explosives. Rarity is permanent and cannot be changed or upgraded later. However, characters can be dismissed while items - deleted and replaced with new findings. It is possible to have 3 characters with you at any time, unless the additional slots are purchased with Unobtainium. Character items that aren't equipped by a character are stored in your personal inventory and follow the same storage rules as the Assembly Plant items, so you can put any unused items in the warehouse for later use. The character and item rarity levels are: Ordinary Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary Unique The higher the rarity level, the quicker you have to be to pick that item up. Ordinary characters and items stay in one place for roughly 24 hours, Uncommon - 12 hours, Rare - 4 hours, Epic - 2 hours, Legendary - 1 hour. "Unique" is the best and rarest type one can possibly find, but chances to do so are extremely low; only a few of such characters and items exist on Earth at any given moment and they will disappear and respawn every 30 minutes, so they are insanely hard to catch. Command Centre. A new building is now available for construction named "Command Centre". This building allows to assign a number of characters to its base in the amount equal to the building's level (e.g. level 3 Command Centre allows assigning 3 characters to a base). Once assigned, all bonuses provided by character skills activate and these characters will participate in all battles happening on the assigned base's territory. Characters cannot be killed in combat, but they do have a limited amount of stamina provided by the Constitution attribute (and boosted by certain items), which is required for any skill to function. Once the character runs out of stamina all of their active bonuses are disabled and they stop fighting in all active battles. Character stamina regenerates slowly with time (a small amount every 4 hours for assigned characters and every hour for unassigned characters). The regeneration amount also depends on the character's Medicine skill, as well as presence of other characters assigned to the base who have some levels in the same skill. Character advancement. All assigned characters accumulate experience from several actions: Land capture and land upgrades, awarding all characters assigned to the nearby base with at least 100 points of experience (plus Exploration skill bonus). Combat actions: peacekeeping points earned during army battles also provide characters with experience. Diplomacy: if a character has at least 1 level in that skill they will award all characters assigned to the same base with experience whenever you collect resources and share them with allies. You can spend the accumulated experience on skill upgrades at any time. However, the maximum number of skill upgrades depends on the current character level. Once you perform 10 skill upgrades (+10 levels in the same skill or +1 levels in 10 different skills or any other combination) you will be able to advance your character to the next level by spending a few Peacekeeping Points. Note: level 1 characters only require 5 skill upgrades to reach level 2. Upon advancing to the next level your skill upgrade cap will increase and several random character attributes will grow by a small amount as well. There is no limit to the character level that can be achieved. However, higher skill levels will require more experience to upgrade. Item levels. Once you pick up a character item from the world map its attributes will be generated for the highest level of the currently assigned character. If no characters are assigned to the nearby base, the highest level of your unassigned character will be considered. So if you have a level 50 character assigned to the base along with a level 25 and a level 5 character, all picked up items will be between level 49-51. Removing the level 50 character from your base will result in newly generated items being of level 24-26. Item levels and attributes do not change after they are picked up. Character Classes. You will encounter 6 possible character classes: General Commando Medic Treasurer Spy Engineer All characters have access to all skills, but each class specializes in 3 skills only. The 3 class skills cost twice less experience to upgrade than all other skills. Character Skills. Each character has access to 16 skills providing various bonuses: Melee Weapons Handguns Rifles The first 3 skills affect the character's ability to wield a specific weapon type and increase its damage in % growing with the skill level. Strategy Increases damage dealt by each army unit. Leadership Increases the number of army units that can act simultaneously during each combat wave. Fitness Increases the amount of Stamina your character has and provides a health boost to all army units stationed on the character's base. Medicine Increases regeneration rate of all characters assigned to the same base and allows healing wounded army units in combat. Exploration Increases the number of experience gained from land captures. Explosives Increases the damage from carried explosives and a chance to detonate them in combat. Unlike regular weapons (Melee, Handguns or Rifles) Explosives only have a small chance to be used during each combat wave, but once they are they deal a much greater amount of damage. Chance to detonate an explosive depends on the current skill level. Every character can equip up to 2 explosive items. Bomb disposal This skill allows a character to intercept an attempt to use an explosive by the enemy. Chance to disarm an explosive grows with the skill level, same as the Explosives skill increases the chance of detonation. Sabotage Upgrading this skill increases the chance to sabotage enemy defences in the beginning of a combat wave, which disables all sentries and negates all of the defence bonuses provided by enemy perks and walls. So even if you are protected by dozens of sandbags a successful sabotage attempt will make them completely useless until the end of this battle or until the defences are reactivated using the Repair skill. The skill also works against the attacker and can disable their Tactician perk bonus. Repair A counter-skill for Sabotage activating immediately when a Sabotage attempt is made. If successful, prevents your defences from being deactivated. However, if the initial attempt fails, characters with this skill will continue trying to reactivate the defences after each combat wave. Stamina is only consumed upon a successful repair. Additionally, Repair lowers the cost of repairs (by up to 95%) for all damaged structures such as walls. Logistics Decreases cooldown between army battles and reduces the amount of time between the offensive structure attacks (e.g. Guard Towers). Additionally, decreases cooldown for the Assembly Plant, allowing to produce items more frequently. On top of that, this skill lowers the amount of fatal damage in combat (see below) and increases the percent of damage that becomes treatable by medics. Construction Decreases costs and time of all construction. Economy Increases the amount of resources collected via "Pick up" or from the resource stations. Diplomacy Provides all assigned characters with experience as soon as any picked up resource is shared with allies. The more allies your resources are shared with, the greater is the experience bonus modifier. Shared resource amount determines the base amount of experience gained, which is then increased by the bonus modifier. Skill levels in Diplomacy increase the number of allies considered when sharing (i.e. the bonus modifier up to x10; minimum being 1) and also determine the % from the shared resource amount that is transformed into experience. Diplomacy level of 40 means that 40% of the shared resource amount is added as experience points. Diplomacy level of 200 transforms 200% of the shared resource amount into experience. Additional skill descriptions are provided in the game. In addition to skill upgrades purchased using experience points, your current skill level is affected by a character attribute associated with that skill. Attribute amounts above 100 will provide a skill level bonus per character level. However, attributes below 100 are considered "below average" and instead create skill penalties that will also grow as your character level advances. Attributes. Each character has 5 attributes that determine their predisposition to certain skills: Strength Dexterity Constitution Intellect Charisma Skills affected by these attributes are illustrated in the game on the "Skills" window of a collected character. New Combat Mechanics. Combat mechanics and formulas have been overhauled and rewritten. From now on, every army unit has a certain amount of health (boosted by the Fitness skill of the accompanying characters) and each soldier deals a range of damage (affected by the Strategy skill). However, only a certain % of damage (affected by character Logistics) dealt at the end of the combat wave is fatal and kills enemy units: the rest is considered to be treatable wounds and rolls over into the next round. At the beginning of the round any characters with at least 1 Medicine level will attempt to treat army wounds and can restore army health. Any untreated wounds from the previous round become fatal at the end of the next round. All character interactions are automated and healing happens without your intervention as long as characters have enough stamina. Combat wave interval has been decreased to 5 minutes (previously 10 minutes). Defence bonus from walls of any kind and the Tactician perk no longer provides a dice-based survival chance, but instead translates into a direct %-based damage reduction, lowering all incoming damage from all sources. Army cost has been increased to 5 supplies and 1 personnel per soldier. Sentries. Sentry towers no longer have a %-based chance to slay a certain amount of soldiers, but instead deal regular damage increased by their level. Sentry damage is affected by the same combat rules as army and character damage, and may not be 100% fatal. Perk adjustments. "Pathfinder" now affects the collection distance for Characters, Items and Quests, all of which can be picked up via the small hand button on their description tooltips or using the big "Pick up" button at the bottom of Earth view. "Counterstrike" now adds +100 damage per level to your army attacks. Combat log. Combat actions will send much fewer push notifications upon every wave end. Instead, combat screen now features a "Combat log" section describing everything that happened during each round in detail (including any character skill use attempts). Combat UI has also been rebuilt and will now list characters participating from all sides (with the ability to view their details by tapping on the character icon) and includes additional information about the active armies. Multiple characters attacking the same land will see action details of all sides in the combat log, while the defending base owner's log will contain records about actions of all armies that are currently invading their lands. Please note that some legacy activity (such as the building damage details) is still recorded in your messages and the appropriate combat log items will be gradually introduced to the game in the future. This update also introduces a number of miscellaneous fixes and adjustments (you will notice some new icons here and there), and performance improvements (especially in "My Lands"). Please note that although I did invest a significant amount of time in designing the new formulas and illustrating various outcomes in spreadsheets, I am conscious that much of this data is based on hypothetical scenarios and I could only experience them in the game from a limited range of test accounts. I am aware that we have some really powerful veterans in "Domination: Earth" with an enormous amount of bases and resources, and some very new players at the same time, so everyone's experience will be different and I am counting on your feedback to make things fair and balanced. Accordingly, please be prepared that any new formulas are subject to change in the near future based on the community feedback and any reports of issues. Finally, please report any problems with text localisations as most of the new non-English texts were provided by automated translation tools. And of course, any general (and especially positive! ) feedback is greatly appreciated and do post if you have any questions!

It's been some talking about the combat in the game lately. Relays etc looks delicious to conquer. What if we had defence and attack options/doctrine. Soft defence=normal defence as always Hard defence=really good defence, but infrastructure get a little destroyed or damaged. Soft attack=as normal attack Hard attack=better attack, but infrastructure gets damaged so you wouldn't really want to use this unless you don't want relays etc. Live to figth another day doctrine=a small debuff to combat, but possibly for soldiers to survive to figth another day. In the long run this would be good. Field hospital=better buff for surviving. Combat engineer=repairs relays etc if not lost the battle (automatically draws some supplies to fix). FOT should not do damage to infrastructure. Scout troop defend land with no base, probably should be a 10scout cap. Lots of perks could be made like armour perk. Better survival rate. Expeditionary force= could be requested from allies or set to auto send. A building in capital that holds 42 expeditionary troops that can be sendt outside base range to allies.

***I accidentally posted this in the "Q & A" section*** I have a lvl 100 territory with 2 guard towers but I am not able to use my second tower to attack. I placed the second toward on the edge of my territory to increase my reach but when I attempt to attack, it defaults to the first tower and says I don't have a player in range. Is this an error?

Would it be possible to get some more in depth explanation about how attacking and defending works? Right now it's "send soldiers in and lets what happens" for most players with no possibility to estimate the outcome of a battle.

Dear Players, Please upgrade to version 1.10 of Domination Earth on the Play/App Store ASAP - due to the introduction of new combat mechanics it will not be possible to attack enemies using your army anymore under the original version - a crucial part of the game right? Don’t fear though, it’s all to make Domination Earth more challenging and fun! Details of new gameplay and tactics here - take note! It is no longer possible to attack enemy lands "in bulk" using target lists from "My Lands. Instead, there is a new menu option on "Earth View" titled "Attack Land", which works similarly to "Trade Land": after you select it simply tap on any visible enemy land and an army from your nearest base will be dispatched to attack the chosen land. The "Target Lands" and "Target Bases" buttons no longer exist. Since the new combat targeting system requires you to actually see what you're attacking and we know your visibility is fairly limited by default, there is a new page provided to assist with this process: "Tracked Players" (available in the side menu). Add players by name (similar to the Alliance page) or by tapping the "Track Player" button on the "Messages" page. Once you add any player (ally or enemy) you can view their lands within your base's reach. Ongoing battles are now displayed on "Earth View" using a red marker with an army icon on it. You can view progress in these battles by tapping on such markers directly (a shortcut for "My Lands" -> "Army Controls" -> "Defence Status"/"Combat Progress"). All bases now act as primary and remain invisible by default until you attack someone. It is no longer possible to destroy any base - only reduce it to level 1 (with 0 health/ level points).Until then, the level 1 base will remain invisible and be impossible to attack regardless of the war status, until it reaches level 2 again. It is no longer possible to destroy any land, only reduce it to level 1. Level 1 lands can be captured using your army: if all the defensive structures are destroyed and the defenders are slain, your army will take control of the level 1 land after the next attack wave. Attack buildings (Guard Tower, Missile Launcher, Nuclear Silo) are now even more useful as they can help destroy walls and defences before your army reaches the targeted land and captures it. We’ve also reviewed the way players use their items and the most common strategy is not collecting individual resources by travelling to them, but staying on a base, accumulating a large number of items (e.g. magnets), activating them all at once and then collecting without leaving the comfort of your home. This is against the core principle of "Domination: Earth", so now: It is no longer possible to activate more than 10 items. It is no longer possible to activate items while being present on a base. Being on a base allows creating new items and picking things up from the warehouse, but you won't be able to activate any items straight away. Additionally, capturing maximum level lands repeatedly (i.e. seeing the "Your land is at maximum possible level." without actually making any progress) should no longer generate additional resources on this land's territory. As always, please post if you have any questions or feedback!
