Mythical Artifacts

Greetings Leaders,

For DomiNations Update 12.20, we bring massive changes to the Museum with Mythical Artifacts and the Museum Showcase. With a massive influx of benefits from utilizing your entire Legendary Artifact collection, your troops will now become more powerful than ever. The long overdue fixes to Alliance Requests are finally completed here; you can request troops and speed-ups on research, and expect that request to remain even when logging out. We’re also bringing updates to the rewards dropped from League Chests, giving you even more opportunities to claim Legendary Tokens simply for climbing the ranks! There’s still plenty more to cover but lets get right into what's coming in next week's update.

Mythical Artifacts

Mythical Artifacts will be special versions of currently existing Legendary Artifacts with higher starting values in their new Mythical tier. Each Mythical Artifact will have a total of 6 benefits, and even though they start higher than their Legendary counterparts each line can be upgraded to level 10!

• Mythical Artifacts can only be displayed in the 3 Mythical Artifact Displays

  • 3 for War Hall & 3 for Main Hall

  • These displays are unlocked when the Museum is constructed at level 1!

  • A mythical Artifact can’t be assigned to the Hermitage Museum
    
    
    
    

• Mythical Artifacts will have a special look to them to help differentiate from their Legendary counterparts.

  • Mythicals will have 6 stars

  • Their ‘Mythical’ benefit will be at the top of the benefit list and feature a unique text.

  • Mythicals will have a unique ribbon denoting they are the Mythical version.
    
    
    
    

• You can display a Legendary and Mythical Artifact of the same name at the same time.

  • EX. Supermarine Spitfire Engine in a Legendary Artifact display and a Mythical Supermarine Spitfire Engine in a Mythical Artifact Display.

  • Like Legendary Artifacts, you cannot display duplicate Mythical Artifacts.

• Currently only the following Mythical Artifacts will be available post 12.20 release:

  You may notice that not all Legendary Artifacts have received a Mythical version at launch. We still have more on the way that are being reserved for future releases

Artifact Showcase

While you’re waiting and speculating for future Mythical Artifact releases, you’ll want to take a look at the Museum Showcase! The Museum Showcase will give use to all of your Legendary Artifacts in storage, and even the new Mythical Artifacts you collect that aren’t on display. The showcase allows you to select one benefit from each Legendary & Mythical Artifact in your inventory to add to your overall benefits list.

You will have a separate Showcase each for the Main and War Hall. You’ll see first your Mythical Artifacts, and then your Legendary Artifacts when scrolling through the showcase.

• All Showcase displays are available when you build the Museum at Level 1!

• Legendary & Mythical Artifacts on their normal displays cannot be activated as a Showcase artifact.

• Your currently active buffs will be displayed right beneath the Artifact in the showcase.

  • You’ll also be able to view all benefits that are currently active in your showcase.

Tapping the ‘Assign' button on an empty display will show you your currently available Legendary or Mythical Artifacts (including duplicates available for that specific display). After selecting the Artifact you wish to use you’ll be able to choose the benefit you’d like active. By default the first benefit in an Artifact will be active, but you can choose a different benefit by tapping any of the checkboxes on the right side of the benefit window.

• If an artifact is in an active Display it will be inactive in your Showcase Display, the Artifact will remain in the Showcase display however.

  • The display slot in the showcase will show ‘Assigned to War/Primary Hall’ if you have it currently displayed.

  • Duplicates cannot be displayed. Ex. You can’t have a Da Vinci’s Flying Machine on your War Display and also on your Showcase Display if you have more than one of the Legendary Artifact.

• War Showcases work just like War Hall when it comes to World War. Your Artifacts will be locked when Planning Day ends.

• You will be able to Spy War Showcases

• Showcases cannot be saved to Museum Loadouts.

  • If you switch to a Loadout that has an Artifact currently active in your Showcase, the showcase will deactivate that Artifact in favor of the Loadout.

  • If you switch out of a Loadout that has an Artifact displayed in your Showcase, the showcase will reactivate that Artifact.

• An ‘Assign All’ Button is available to display all currently owned Artifacts that aren’t assigned in your showcase.

• With this release we’re also increasing the maximum Artifact storage to 1,000!

  • Your base Storage is now increased to 50.
    
    

Changes to Artifact Crafting
Artifacts can now be crafted with three or more benefit lines of the same type.

• Artifacts will still be unable to roll with more than two identical percentages. (ex. Air Defense DMG +3% and Air Defense DMG +3% is the maximum an artifact can have in two out of five benefits. But it can also have Air Defense DMG +6% alongside it.)
  
  

This is a MASSIVE wave of incoming possibilities that we can’t wait to see you take advantage of! We look forward to seeing how you bolster current strategies, or emerge victorious with new ones.

League Chest Update

In Update 12.20, we’re making changes to the League Chest rewards and League Boat rewards. For both League Chests, and Boats you will no longer receive randomly generated rewards. You will ALWAYS be able to select one of the new rewards for each League. Notably, League Boats will now include Legendary Tokens!

League Chest Rewards

League Boat Rewards

New Councilor - Hammurabi (Leader)

Hammurabi is our next Councilor to join DomiNations!

Hammurabi ascended to the throne of Babylon around 1792 BCE, inheriting a modest kingdom hemmed in by more powerful rivals. But through a mix of shrewd diplomacy and calculated warfare, he transformed Babylon into the dominant power of Mesopotamia.

In DomiNations Hammurabi will improve your Redoubt and Tower DMG, and even bolster your Air Defenses when they’re seated in your Council Chambers. Hammurabi will be available starting 8/4!

Main & War Hall

Additional Updates

• Visual Updates to Detachments during combat

  • We’ve updated how deployed Detachments look in your Troop Tray to assist in making it easier to identify whether they’ve been deployed. A deployed Detachment’s Troop Tray art will now appear slightly transparent when in combat.
    
    

• Fixed an issue where an arrow and continue button appeared in the Detachment first time tutorial.

  • We’ve removed the arrow in this instance as it wasn’t a clickable space to proceed through the tutorial. We hope this clears some potential confusion as players work through the tutorial.

• Added a visual update to the Demolition War Tactic.

  • With the change to Demolition functionality, you may have sometimes noticed that there was a fuse on the field with nothing at the end. We’ve added Dynamite to the end of this fuse, but like ACME Dynamite it’s purely visual, and it does feel a bit better to have something at the end of the fuse.

• Fixed an issue where you could tap ‘fill’ after already using the Speed Up Autofill

  • When using the auto-fill SpeedUp function players could tap ‘fill’ and then once the SpeedUps are auto-filled to your upgrade you could tap ‘fill’ again and it would show a blank popup. Tapping confirm here would unselect your SpeedUps. In update 12.20 you will no longer be able to tap the ‘fill’ button when SpeedUps have already been auto-filled.
