Greetings Leaders,

Robotics Age is on its way to DomiNations, and new Building and troop Upgrades will arrive with it, as expected! Along with these upgrades, though, there is also a new feature for you to interact with. Similar to the Drone Command being introduced alongside the Drone Age, and the Manufactory coming with the Automation Age, Commanders will be coming with the Robotics Age as a new way to customize your battles.

We don’t want to give everything away just yet, but we can share some details now. More information will be available in our 13.0 Patch Notes later this month!

 

Develop Your Commanders
Starting from the Medieval Age, Commanders will be found in your existing Fort. You will be able to raise your Commanders to Level 100 by using a new Manufactory Component called Modules. Commanders will have the unique ability to be deployed offensively and defensively, even while they are being upgraded!

 

In Battle
Commanders will be powerful units that can change the tide of battle with unique attributes.

  • Commanders can be assigned to Detachments, but only in the Leader position.

  • Two Commanders, Ripley & Eradicator, will be available from the time of the Robotics Age’s launch:

    • Ripley

      • Will be available starting in the Medieval Age

      • Is a slow-moving Melee Range attacker with high Health

      • Deals a cone of Melee Damage in front of itself

      • Deals Bonus Damage to Defenders, Generals, Heavy Tanks, and Commanders

    • Eradicator

      • Will be available in Robotics Age, after the Fort is upgraded to level 13

      • Can fire BOTH of its weapons while moving and rotating

      • More information on this Commander will be revealed next week! Keep an eye on DomiNations' social media accounts!

 

Commander Customization
Make Commanders your own with various customization options! Each Commander will have specific pieces that you can change to create a look unique to you! You’ll be able to:

  • Change the name of your Commander

  • Equip Commanders with unique Skins & Shaders

    • You can mix and match parts from your different Commander Skins with four customization slots.

    • You can change the color of your Commanders and their different Skins with Shaders!

    • Besides in-battle, your customization will also be visible in the pre-battle screen for both World Wars and Strike!

We can’t wait to see how you develop your Commanders, and what unique styles you’ll bring to DomiNations as they hit the battlefield. In post-13.0 updates, we’ll be adding even more customization options to Commanders, allowing you to personalize these troops even further.

Our full reveal of Commanders & Robotics Age will appear in our DomiNations Update 13.0 notes later this month. In the meantime, let us know what you think about the potential of Commanders, and what type of customization options you would like to see!
