DomiNations Update 11.6 - New Legendary Thinker of Cernavoda

11_6Keyart.jpg


Legendary Artifacts
Two new Legendary Artifacts for you to display in your Museums are on the way. Once again we’ll be offering one for War Halls and one for Peace Halls.

Thinker of Cernavoda
  • Barracks Troops Damage +11%
  • Enemy Defender Spawn Time +6%
  • Enemy Defensive Tower Damage -11%
  • All Resources Stolen +8%
  • All Resources Stolen +8%

Update to Defensive Drone Directive - Surveillance
A previous bug from the Surveillance Defense Drone Directive would make stealth units like Night Witch become targetable by Tower Defensive Buildings. At the time it was unintentional but we found this to be a great addition to the Directive and as such this will remain. This will also affect ALL stealth units within the space where the Surveillance Directive is active!

Additional Fixes
  • Implemented an additional fix to cover other ways to remove forests for free
  • Fixed errors on Alliance perk 23 and 24
    • Perk 23 should now add +1 additional defender unit on first wave (will not apply if spawn limit is reached)
    • Perk 24 should now add +10% to healing units and tactics
  • Corrected the Missile Silo Information window to reflect the proper Fire Rate
    • The Battle Stations Library Tech incorrectly showed the Missile Silo Attack Speed being reduced by seconds instead of a percentage. The window now reflects the information correctly showing +3%, and at max speed will show as 8.7 seconds.
  • Fixed an issue where the 2nd Research slot for the Drone Command building would become locked after purchasing.
  • Implemented a fix removing an exploit found to climb the leaderboard at a rapid rate without the use of speed ups
 
defense committee is still not working no spawn no exploding sniper towers no rate of fire.for silo or balista @harthisnwas Jan 27 now it February 21 this is unacceptable to put our an update that didn't fix th3 old update
It works by me. Maybe try updating again.
 
What's going on with the "Illegal program detected????" Maybe it sees that I cleared the forests for free using the glitch. Is there any way to fix this?

Defensive committee bonuses have not worked for anyone since released. It says it’s active but it has no effect in actual battles. (Example- explosive sniper towers, spawn speed near wonders)
 
Thank you for the explanation, it says “Two new Legendary Artifacts” but only shows one and based on the stats I assume that’s the peacetime version. Could you share the name and stats of the War Legendary?

As you can see the community is extremely thirsty for information and it’s very frustrating that we don’t really have many options to get any answers.

I really wish BHG would improve in this area and add more resources to communicate with all of us because that shouldn’t be one persons responsibility.

Just wanted to say that I’m grateful that we do have you to ask questions and get answers from.
agh, ya caught me on this one, we HOPED to get two legendaries out with this release. One was unable to make it with all that we're working on. I'll give details as we get closer to its release.
 
We are aware of the Illegal program detected that is appearing and are working on finding a solution for this. Be sure to submit a ticket to our CS team so they can continue helping us gather data for finding a swift resolution.
 
Hey @Harlems369th the update messed something up big time buddy! Everytime I open the app this shows up from recent apps this pop up shows up, it's only when I close the app completely and reboot it up again I can get in..

And I know it's the update coz the game was 100% fine before the update, but as soon as I updated the next time I opened the game up I am welcomed with this!!

Please check that, because it's just annoying that everytime you have to launch the game twice for it to work, when all you did was update it right as when the update rolled out


Looking forward to hearing from you :)
Mine is doing the same. hope it gets sorted soon.
 
why is defense committee not working still it's been a month almost here os what your customer service said they don't 3vrn know its still broken
I think you completely misunderstood their response. CS is aware of the issue, but is asking for additional detail just in case there is an additional committee issue that we're not aware of, if it is something we're aware of it is potentially information that we still could use to help pinpoint the issue based on many possible variables. In which case they would still ask for further detail from you to help

The time it took to write this post could have been used to set up a simple test…

-only towers work to attack stealthed units, not air defense, mortars, silo, snipers, mg

-stealthed units consist of:
recons
nighthawks
nightwitch
Rah-66 (stealth Helis)
infiltrators
Spy
Master assassin
Assassin
Shinobi
Oni Ninja
Lady Death



-paras are not considered stealth in this essence because they’re already targeted by buildings, they just don’t spawn troops. Regardless, surveillance has no effect on paras.

Lately there’s been a lot of different terminology used for the same thing in game and it’s rather confusing.

For example, the defender committee bonus “spawn speed near wonders” had many people confused what it was supposed to do until we received clarification that it was the same as “defender spawn time”, the more traditional terminology used over the years.

Another recent example is this new legendary announced with the 2 lines at the bottom “all resources stolen”. The typical terms we’re familiar with over the years are “all resources looted” and “looted resources refunded”.

Not sure if this was just a typo on this post, if it will have that description in the released version, or it might even be something completely different from what we already have 🤷🏻‍♂️. Ultimately, it has been a reoccurring issue lately and I can only assume it’s due to outsourced programming and translation discrepancies.

Regardless, can we have clarification on those 2 lines “all resources stolen” and can BHG try to mainstream their terminologies again?

I fully agree.
There are many small details like this that create confusion for the entire player base, from different countries and languages.
To this day, after numerous reports, they still haven't adjusted the translation of the Ethiopian Coalition into Portuguese. Even today, after years, novice or old players confuse with the wrong translation in the Coalition of Ethiopians where "increases General damage" was translated as "increase damage of everything", because in Portuguese, General translation can be "everything".
In English, General can be translated as "General = General" or "General = GERAL", which means "everything", "all" or "all troops, defensive towers, etc".

"dano de ataque geral" in portuguese it means "attack damage from everything, from fucking everything"

For example, the defender committee bonus “spawn speed near wonders”
Doesn't a spawn speed refer to how quickly someone spawns? So if it's a bonus that means they spawn more quickly. I get that sticking to the same terminology they've used over the years would make things less troublesome but it seems clear enough.

“all resources stolen”
When you battle you steal rss from others so how would that be any different to all resources looted? Again, seems clear enough.

Google translation of loot:
loot
/luːt/

noun
private property taken from an enemy in war.

verb
steal goods from (a place), typically during a war or riot.

“Defender Spawn Speed near wonders” can be interpreted to mean 2 completely different effects especially when defender spawn time has already been standardized, and defender movement speed has been recently introduced on Maori War Club.

Interpretation 1: the speed at which defenders spawned move near wonders

Interpretation 2: the time at which defenders spawn near wonders

In regards to your exemplary google translate skills… yes I’m very well aware that loot means to steal. Yet again through introducing a non standardized term leaves the question open to a non standardized effect.

Example- since “loot” after a battle doesn’t only include gold, food, and oil (the only loot effected by all resources looted and looted resources refunded) but also includes fragments and rubies then a possibility that with the new term “stolen” might also include these other resources.

Sometimes it’s worth thinking outside the box, but I’m glad we have players like yourself that can grasp that loot and stolen can be used interchangeably…
