Update 13.4 Notes

Greetings Leaders,

The time has arrived for a massive Coalition overhaul. Each and every Coalition has been updated to leverage new strategies and better synergize with your Detachments. We’re also rounding out update 13.4 with Glory Decay changes and quality-of-life enhancements. Read on to find out more!

 

World War Temporary Outage 3/7 - 3/9

To prepare for our update, we will be suspending World War from 10 am ET on 3/7 to 3/9. This will give time to clear out any active wars before the update and ensure all players are on the same version of the game. World War activities will return after our planned force update on 3/10.

 

Throughout February, we’ve been slowly revealing upcoming changes to Coalitions. We’re better aligning Coalitions with what’s currently available in DomiNations and further enhancing the viability of different play styles. This update will replace all previous Coalition Bonuses.

 

Aztecs

In 13.4 and beyond, the Aztec Coalition will now add immunity to an Attacking Troop if they can survive 15 seconds of battle and increase the amount of damage that Detachment A can dish out!

 

Egyptians

The Egyptian Coalition continues to focus on improving the strength of buildings that shoot attackers (excluding Traps).

 

Mongols

The Mongol Coalition has been a major talking point when reviewing Coalitions; it should come as no surprise that this Coalition has also undergone a change. The Mongols' bonus increases attack power for Troops that stick together, providing an additional incentive to take advantage of the Detachment bonuses this and other Coalitions can offer.

 

Maori

The Maori Coalition remains a defensive Coalition. With their new benefit, defender spawns will bring an additional Ranged Infantry Defender that doesn’t count toward the maximum defenders that you can have on the field!

All Ranged Infantry defenders in 13.4 will see a 0.5 range increase, regardless of whether the Maori Coalition is added to your army. This is to better align with their attacking counterpart.

 

Cherokee

With the new offensive bonuses from the Cherokee Coalition, the longer your troops remain in combat, the more damage they can dish out! With that in mind, you may want to take advantage of this Coalition’s bonus for Detachment B, as it will increase the HP of all the Troops included in it.

 

Indians

If you’re focused on bolstering your defenses, the Indian Coalition can certainly help with that! Your buildings that shoot attackers (excluding Traps) will deal a massive burst of additional damage periodically throughout your battles.

 

Americans

The American Coalition will no longer strictly benefit Airstrip Troops and will now expand to all Attackers. This includes attackers spawned from other units and Troop Tactics! They also increase the movement speed of your non-plane attackers that aren’t in a detachment!

 

Russians

The Russian Coalition now focuses on Defender-spawning buildings. This Coalition will now add a stationary cannon defender to the first defender spawn wave. This additional Defender will benefit from Defender Damage bonuses and Munitions applied to Ranged Siege.

 

Ethiopians

The Ethiopian Coalition offers a mixture of attack and defense benefits, and adds the unique bonus of disabling traps. Having a Commander near your allied Troops and Buildings will increase their damage output too! It’s important to note that this Coalition can no longer be picked up on War Day.

 

Filipinos

The Filipino Coalition benefits both attacking and defending Troops, and makes traps more potent. You’d benefit greatly by keeping your Commander near your Troops and Buildings, too, as allied Troops within the Commander’s proximity will take reduced damage.

 

Changes to Alliance & University Coalition Bonuses

Benefits from Moctezuma’s University research and Coalition Training Alliance Law will see some slight adjustments. While the Coalition Power bonus functions the same, you’ll notice that the values of these bonuses have been changed.

 

Glory Decay Update

For update 13.4, we’re making adjustments to the Glory Decay system within Tournament of Glory. Alliances from Established to Iconic Division will now only see a decay of two stars below their current rank and will never decay below their current Division.

Alliances within the Triumphant Division will not be affected by these changes. An Alliance can still be demoted to a lower Division from all other means.

Robotics Age Upgrades

For our Robotics Age players, you’ll find new upgrades for the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Legendary Artifacts & Mythical Artifacts
New Legendary Artifacts and 8 Mythical Artifacts are on the way to DomiNations! You’ll start to see news on these Artifacts and their stat bonuses around late spring, early summer.

Spying Update
Since the addition of Councilors, Players have been asking us to update Spying for World War. It then became all the more necessary with the introduction of Manufactory Munitions. We’re happy to share that with this update, you’ll not only be able to view the most up-to-date information regarding the Library and University, but also what Munitions your enemies have equipped, and their Council Chambers!

 

Replay Updates

Our next pass at Replays has been focused on stability and backend improvements. We’ve implemented tooling for our replay system to better identify spawn locations of certain units. Going forward, our replay tweaks and updates will be more incremental as we continue to fine-tune the accuracy. Although this update probably won’t be impactful to most players, we wanted to update you on the progress we’re making.

 

See Troops Brought to Battle

To further support your post-battle analysis, we’re also introducing an updated post-battle screen. When reviewing post-battle information, you’ll see two tabs above the Troops lost. One will show Troops lost as usual, but the other will show ‘Troops Brought Into Battle’.

This addition can help you better understand your opponent’s strategies and see how you might put together your own army in future battles!
