DomiNations Update 12.14 - Tournament of Glory

DOM_SM_01_22_25_Update_12_14.png


Greetings Leaders,

The latest update to DomiNations brings many changes to the Alliance World War Glory system. Tournament of Glory is finally here, and you’ll have an entirely new competitive ranking experience alongside it. We’re also updating the rewards granted from the Councilor Collection and adding a new level to the Library!

Tournament of Glory
Update 12.14 will bring the massive Tournament of Glory System, offering new rewards, changing Glory ranks, and revamping our Glory Decay system. Alliances will compete for Glory, and the higher you rank, the better the rewards! Outside of how rewards are obtained, you’ll still participate in World Wars just as you always have. Tournament of Glory will divide Alliances into 8 different divisions and replace the current Glory ranking system.

While you’ll notice these changes when 12.14 is released, the first Gauntlet will not begin until 1/27 at 11AM ET.

In preparation for Tournament of Glory, we will turn off World War matchmaking on 1/22 at 10AM ET. World War Matchmaking will return on 1/24.

Divisions
The 8 Divisions will have their own Glory Range to compete within.

Each Division is further split into 5 different Star Ranks based on your Alliance’s Glory. Each Star rank shows you how close your Alliance is to either rising into the next Division or falling. Alliances will earn rewards when they gain enough Glory to reach a new Star. You’ll always be able to check where your Alliance stands in the rankings within the Tournament of Glory window.

Gauntlets
Tournament of Glory runs in Gauntlets. Each Gauntlet lasts 83 days and has a 24-hour Summary Period at the end. At the end of each Gauntlet, all Alliance members will be sent Division Rewards! The very first Gauntlet will begin 1/27 at 11AM ET

Screenshot_20250115-163309.jpg

The Tournament of Glory ranking will show the Top 100 Alliances within your Division. You can see your rank, Alliance name, what Division you’re currently in, how many World Wars you’ve participated in while in this Division, and your Alliance’s current Glory. If your Alliance isn’t within the top 100, you’ll see in a window below the main leaderboard showing where they’re ranked. Tapping the ‘view rewards’ button on the bottom right will take you to the Division Rewards screen, but we’ll get to that momentarily.

Glory Decay
At the beginning of each Gauntlet Summary, all Alliances will be taken through a Glory Decay process. This removes win streaks gained in the previous Gauntlet Period and will also lower all Alliances’ Glory to the bottom of the current Division they’re in. There are also several automatic demotions that will take place on underperforming Alliances.

  1. If an Alliance waits more than 14 days before matching for a War, their Glory will be lowered to slightly above the floor of their current Division if above this amount. If an Alliance qualifying for this Demotion is in the Established Division, they are lowered to 1000 Glory and considered unranked. This can happen at any point during a Gauntlet’s active phase, but not during the summary phase.
  2. If an Alliance does not reach 1 Star above their initial placement over the course of an entire Gauntlet, they will be demoted to the next lowest Division at the end of the Gauntlet.
  3. If an Alliance does not participate in a single War during an entire Gauntlet, their Glory will be reset to 1000 at the end of the Gauntlet. They must win 1 World War to resume Tournament of Glory eligibility.

Alliance Leaders and co-leaders will receive a notification before the Alliance is demoted due to a lack of World War participation.

Screenshot_20250115-163352.png


World War Win Streaks
We’re updating how World War Win Streaks awards glory. Win Streaks will earn Alliances double the normal Glory for each World War victory; however, now Win Streaks only affects Glory in a positive way! If your Alliance loses while on a Win Streak, you’ll lose the same amount of Glory as you normally do.

If an Alliance initiates a World War that would end during the beginning of the next Gauntlet, that World War will be scored without a Win Streak. The World War will be treated as the first of the next Gauntlet.

Division Rewards
At the end of a Gauntlet during the Summary phase, your Alliance will automatically receive their rewards through their inboxes. You can see what rewards your Alliance will receive by opening the Tournament of Glory Window and tapping the ‘view rewards’ button. (Note if you are ineligible for rewards due to Division Lockout, you will be unable to tap this button)

Division Lockout
Division lockout is a 7-day period where Players become “locked in” to their current Alliance. Players that leave and join a different Alliance during this period will be ineligible for Division rewards. You will see a notification before leaving your current Alliance warning you of the ‘Lockout Period.’

Screenshot_20250115-163442.png

The Lockout does not block the player from earning Star Rewards.

Star Rewards
Each Star rank your Alliance rises into gives your entire Alliance a one-time reward! Just starting out in a Gauntlet and simply participating in one World War will reward you the first Star Reward!


Losing Glory doesn’t give a Star Reward, only ranking up will give you the reward.

What about my Alliance’s current Glory?
With the release of the Tournament of Glory System, we’ll squash current Glory Scores to align with the new system. (This squash will take place 1/22 10am ET)

Alliances will transition to the following Divisions with Update 12.14:

Current Glory RangeNew Division Rank
< 12000Established 1001 Glory
12001 - 16999Certified 1960 Glory
17000 - 19999Admirable 3360 Glory
20000 - 22999Renowned 5500 Glory
23000 - 33000+Honorable 8100 Glory

Creating a New Alliance
New Alliances will always start at 1000 Glory as ‘Unranked.’ You will need to participate in a World War and win to start climbing through Tournament of Glory.

Removing Old Leaderboards
Tournament of Glory replaces all Glory and Medal-based Leaderboards in DomiNations. The old Glory Leaderboard button will now be replaced with the Tournament of Glory Button. Medals and Leagues will still exist, as well as their respective Rewards, but the League button will now be at the Dock and in the Multiplayer Window, where you can view your current Medals and League.

Screenshot_20250115-163510.jpg

Triumph Leaderboards will remain unchanged.

With Tournament of Glory, this is a clean slate in Competition amongst Alliances within DomiNations! The first Gauntlet will allow for Alliances to truly settle into the new system and acquire proper placement for the next Gauntlet. Good luck as you wage war to climb the Divisions and obtain valuable rewards!

Seasons
With the release of Tournament of Glory, we’ll be taking a break from Seasons to give them a rework for a later release. The hope is that with Tournament of Glory, you go into the new competitive system with base stats. However, this doesn’t mean that Units won’t see adjustments outside of Seasons. We’ll still be able to tweak Troop, Building, and other stats during special events.



Councilor Collection Reward Adjustments
We’ll be making adjustments to the Councilor Collection Rewards. At the outset, we gave far more crowns in a quicker timespan than we had anticipated. This adjustment will remove Crown rewards for reaching Councilor Collection Milestones and instead offer SpeedUps and Premium Recruitments. We’re also reducing the Crown reward for collecting a Councilor for the first time.

For those who have already completed their Councilor Collection Milestones, you’ll be able to claim the new rewards all over again. We’ve also increased the amount of Milestone rewards available, which you can retroactively collect!

DOM_Council_LeonaVicario_Full_Stats_EN_1920x1080.png


New Councilor - Leona Vicario (Revolutionary)
Leona Vicario was a fearless Mexican revolutionary and one of the most influential women in the country’s fight for independence from Spain. Born a rich heiress in 1789, she received an education rare for women of her time, studying literature, art, and law. Leona eventually became a journalist and wrote articles for newspapers in Mexico City such as El Ilustrador Americano. Yet when the independence movement erupted in 1810, Leona risked her resources and connections to secretly help finance and support the insurgency. She famously smuggled crucial military intel to them by sending secretly coded messages through her newspaper articles. Her home quickly became a hub for revolutionary activity and her sharp intellect and bravery made her a trusted ally to revolutionary leaders like José María Morelos.

Leona’s benefits in DomiNations will reduce the strength of invading Troops for both Multiplayer and World War battles! Leona Vicario will be first available in Recruitments starting 2/17!

DOM_Council_AdaLovelace_Full_Stats_EN_1920x1080.png


New Councilor - Ada Lovelace (Scholar)
Ada Lovelace, often hailed as the world’s first computer programmer, was a visionary mathematician who laid the groundwork for the modern digital age long before the invention of the computer. In 1843, Ada translated an article on Babbage's Analytical Engine, but it was in her own extensive notes—three times longer than the original work—where she outlined algorithms that could be executed by the machine and became the first person to envision and write a program for a computing device. Ada Lovelace’s groundbreaking ideas were rediscovered a century later and are now recognized as fundamental to the development of computing. Ada’s ability to imagine the future of technology long before it was feasible has made her an enduring symbol of innovation, creativity, and the untapped potential of the human mind.

Ada Lovelace’s Primary Chamber benefits increase the amount of resources you’ll loot from Multiplayer Battles. Her War Chamber benefits increase the DMG of your Heavy Tanks and improve the stats of your Machine Gun Infantry. Ada Lovelace will be first available in Recruitments starting 3/17!

Additional Fixes
  • Removing Global Messages from Reward Claims (Black Bar messages)
    • This is a first step toward implementing a ‘Claim All’ button for the various reward spaces within the game.
    • Other Global Messages will now be limited to 2 messages appearing at the same time from multiple rapid actions.
 
There are so many things I wanna write but lets take it slowly....

1. I really like the new tournament from what i read and I cant wait to see it in action. I hope the rewards are decent and not some rss and a couple recruitment cards like this one...
1737045475499.png


2. The divisions look fine except the last one. There is so much gap between that last division with the rest.
This look wrong too as the alliances that play in the #100-#200 rank are far inferior to the ones in top 100. Having them all together start at 8100 is unfair.

23000 - 33000+Honorable 8100 Glory

3. Does each alliance match alliances from its own Division and/or star rank or will the algorithm be free to search anywhere? How that will affect the time to find a new match?

4. The Win streak bonus will greatly favor the teams that are already heavy on defence and automation age bases and those that have kept their war weight very low like some alliances do in the top 50. My guess is that certain teams will rise very fast through the divisions and ranks. Are those few teams gonna match between them since they will be on the same division? I think this doesn't change much from the current glory system that heavy and ultra light teams are at the top rank. Was it not the whole point to make the leaderboard like a ladder that the higher you go, the harder it gets?

5. I like the councillors although i have to ask.... why so many HT lines? Are we to expect soon a rebalance on Factory troops?

6. The new library is normal. Nothing fancy or game changing. Any other new building levels that were skipped in info age and havent seen an update?

7. Replays are VERY VERY important for us. This is a strategy game and fixing Replays should be top 3 priority. I fail to understand how it is not for BHG.

8. Last of all, I kept the best....

Councilor Collection Reward Adjustments
We’ll be making adjustments to the Councilor Collection Rewards. At the outset, we gave far more crowns in a quicker timespan than we had anticipated. This adjustment will remove Crown rewards for reaching Councilor Collection Milestones and instead offer SpeedUps and Premium Recruitments. We’re also reducing the Crown reward for collecting a Councilor for the first time.

This is very very wrong. We all expected at some point some more mythical recruitment packages. Now, not only you are taking away the best rewards there are (which is unfair for newer players) but you are making the new ones a lot worse. Now, that's not good. We all expected better. It is already very hard to get anything decent. Personally I am very tired of playing a strategy game with constant 0.5% odds to get anything. That's not how I envision a game of this genre.

At least, let us know if we will get Mythical or Heroic recruitment packages.
 
removing and reducing the crown rewards in the council is not a good step.

those crowns are a good " foundation" for beginners to have. they give them the crowns to buy the important 2nd library and blacksmith slot.

and with these councillers you are introducing when will more capacity for them be a thing and new commitees
 
There is a first wave of improvement that went into this update, but it was determined that this wasn't significant enough of an improvement to call it out for this update. Results may vary, work has been implemented here, just not a substantial change.
thanks for the response 👋

The team confirms that there will be no restriction to matchmaking based on your Division rank. They hope and believe that matchmaking will improve with the regular Glory Decays. There are no plans to implement matchmaking with Division Rank as a parameter at this time.

Greetings Leaders,

The latest update to DomiNations brings many changes to the Alliance World War Glory system. Tournament of Glory is finally here, and you’ll have an entirely new competitive ranking experience alongside it. We’re also updating the rewards granted from the Councilor Collection and adding a new level to the Library!

Tournament of Glory
Update 12.14 will bring the massive Tournament of Glory System, offering new rewards, changing Glory ranks, and revamping our Glory Decay system. Alliances will compete for Glory, and the higher you rank, the better the rewards! Outside of how rewards are obtained, you’ll still participate in World Wars just as you always have. Tournament of Glory will divide Alliances into 8 different divisions and replace the current Glory ranking system.

While you’ll notice these changes when 12.14 is released, the first Gauntlet will not begin until 1/27 at 11AM ET.

In preparation for Tournament of Glory, we will turn off World War matchmaking on 1/22 at 10AM ET. World War Matchmaking will return on 1/24.

Divisions
The 8 Divisions will have their own Glory Range to compete within.

Each Division is further split into 5 different Star Ranks based on your Alliance’s Glory. Each Star rank shows you how close your Alliance is to either rising into the next Division or falling. Alliances will earn rewards when they gain enough Glory to reach a new Star. You’ll always be able to check where your Alliance stands in the rankings within the Tournament of Glory window.

Gauntlets
Tournament of Glory runs in Gauntlets. Each Gauntlet lasts 83 days and has a 24-hour Summary Period at the end. At the end of each Gauntlet, all Alliance members will be sent Division Rewards! The very first Gauntlet will begin 1/27 at 11AM ET


The Tournament of Glory ranking will show the Top 100 Alliances within your Division. You can see your rank, Alliance name, what Division you’re currently in, how many World Wars you’ve participated in while in this Division, and your Alliance’s current Glory. If your Alliance isn’t within the top 100, you’ll see in a window below the main leaderboard showing where they’re ranked. Tapping the ‘view rewards’ button on the bottom right will take you to the Division Rewards screen, but we’ll get to that momentarily.

Glory Decay
At the beginning of each Gauntlet Summary, all Alliances will be taken through a Glory Decay process. This removes win streaks gained in the previous Gauntlet Period and will also lower all Alliances’ Glory to the bottom of the current Division they’re in. There are also several automatic demotions that will take place on underperforming Alliances.

  1. If an Alliance waits more than 14 days before matching for a War, their Glory will be lowered to slightly above the floor of their current Division if above this amount. If an Alliance qualifying for this Demotion is in the Established Division, they are lowered to 1000 Glory and considered unranked. This can happen at any point during a Gauntlet’s active phase, but not during the summary phase.
  2. If an Alliance does not reach 1 Star above their initial placement over the course of an entire Gauntlet, they will be demoted to the next lowest Division at the end of the Gauntlet.
  3. If an Alliance does not participate in a single War during an entire Gauntlet, their Glory will be reset to 1000 at the end of the Gauntlet. They must win 1 World War to resume Tournament of Glory eligibility.

Alliance Leaders and co-leaders will receive a notification before the Alliance is demoted due to a lack of World War participation.



World War Win Streaks
We’re updating how World War Win Streaks awards glory. Win Streaks will earn Alliances double the normal Glory for each World War victory; however, now Win Streaks only affects Glory in a positive way! If your Alliance loses while on a Win Streak, you’ll lose the same amount of Glory as you normally do.

If an Alliance initiates a World War that would end during the beginning of the next Gauntlet, that World War will be scored without a Win Streak. The World War will be treated as the first of the next Gauntlet.

Division Rewards
At the end of a Gauntlet during the Summary phase, your Alliance will automatically receive their rewards through their inboxes. You can see what rewards your Alliance will receive by opening the Tournament of Glory Window and tapping the ‘view rewards’ button. (Note if you are ineligible for rewards due to Division Lockout, you will be unable to tap this button)

Division Lockout
Division lockout is a 7-day period where Players become “locked in” to their current Alliance. Players that leave and join a different Alliance during this period will be ineligible for Division rewards. You will see a notification before leaving your current Alliance warning you of the ‘Lockout Period.’


The Lockout does not block the player from earning Star Rewards.

Star Rewards
Each Star rank your Alliance rises into gives your entire Alliance a one-time reward! Just starting out in a Gauntlet and simply participating in one World War will reward you the first Star Reward!


Losing Glory doesn’t give a Star Reward, only ranking up will give you the reward.

What about my Alliance’s current Glory?
With the release of the Tournament of Glory System, we’ll squash current Glory Scores to align with the new system. (This squash will take place 1/22 10am ET)

Alliances will transition to the following Divisions with Update 12.14:

Creating a New Alliance
New Alliances will always start at 1000 Glory as ‘Unranked.’ You will need to participate in a World War and win to start climbing through Tournament of Glory.

Tournament of Glory replaces all Glory and Medal-based Leaderboards in DomiNations. The old Glory Leaderboard button will now be replaced with the Tournament of Glory Button. Medals and Leagues will still exist, as well as their respective Rewards, but the League button will now be at the Dock and in the Multiplayer Window, where you can view your current Medals and League.


Triumph Leaderboards will remain unchanged.

With Tournament of Glory, this is a clean slate in Competition amongst Alliances within DomiNations! The first Gauntlet will allow for Alliances to truly settle into the new system and acquire proper placement for the next Gauntlet. Good luck as you wage war to climb the Divisions and obtain valuable rewards!

Seasons
With the release of Tournament of Glory, we’ll be taking a break from Seasons to give them a rework for a later release. The hope is that with Tournament of Glory, you go into the new competitive system with base stats. However, this doesn’t mean that Units won’t see adjustments outside of Seasons. We’ll still be able to tweak Troop, Building, and other stats during special events.



Councilor Collection Reward Adjustments
We’ll be making adjustments to the Councilor Collection Rewards. At the outset, we gave far more crowns in a quicker timespan than we had anticipated. This adjustment will remove Crown rewards for reaching Councilor Collection Milestones and instead offer SpeedUps and Premium Recruitments. We’re also reducing the Crown reward for collecting a Councilor for the first time.

For those who have already completed their Councilor Collection Milestones, you’ll be able to claim the new rewards all over again. We’ve also increased the amount of Milestone rewards available, which you can retroactively collect!

New Councilor - Leona Vicario (Revolutionary)
Leona Vicario was a fearless Mexican revolutionary and one of the most influential women in the country’s fight for independence from Spain. Born a rich heiress in 1789, she received an education rare for women of her time, studying literature, art, and law. Leona eventually became a journalist and wrote articles for newspapers in Mexico City such as El Ilustrador Americano. Yet when the independence movement erupted in 1810, Leona risked her resources and connections to secretly help finance and support the insurgency. She famously smuggled crucial military intel to them by sending secretly coded messages through her newspaper articles. Her home quickly became a hub for revolutionary activity and her sharp intellect and bravery made her a trusted ally to revolutionary leaders like José María Morelos.

Leona’s benefits in DomiNations will reduce the strength of invading Troops for both Multiplayer and World War battles! Leona Vicario will be first available in Recruitments starting 2/17!

New Councilor - Ada Lovelace (Scholar)
Ada Lovelace, often hailed as the world’s first computer programmer, was a visionary mathematician who laid the groundwork for the modern digital age long before the invention of the computer. In 1843, Ada translated an article on Babbage's Analytical Engine, but it was in her own extensive notes—three times longer than the original work—where she outlined algorithms that could be executed by the machine and became the first person to envision and write a program for a computing device. Ada Lovelace’s groundbreaking ideas were rediscovered a century later and are now recognized as fundamental to the development of computing. Ada’s ability to imagine the future of technology long before it was feasible has made her an enduring symbol of innovation, creativity, and the untapped potential of the human mind.

Ada Lovelace’s Primary Chamber benefits increase the amount of resources you’ll loot from Multiplayer Battles. Her War Chamber benefits increase the DMG of your Heavy Tanks and improve the stats of your Machine Gun Infantry. Ada Lovelace will be first available in Recruitments starting 3/17!

Additional Fixes
  • Removing Global Messages from Reward Claims (Black Bar messages)
    • This is a first step toward implementing a ‘Claim All’ button for the various reward spaces within the game.
    • Other Global Messages will now be limited to 2 messages appearing at the same time from multiple rapid actions.
Replacing with ‘premium recruitment’… are you serious ? You took something good, especially for new players, and you giving us ‘premium recruitment’. For the love of god stop it.
At least increase the % and reduce the ratios.
I just churned 400 councillors and got 2 (two) epics. Complete waste of time and now you are giving us more complete waste of tim.
 
The team confirms that there will be no restriction to matchmaking based on your Division rank. They hope and believe that matchmaking will improve with the regular Glory Decays. There are no plans to implement matchmaking with Division Rank as a parameter at this time.
thanks! Appreciate the response. Can we have some response on the other raised points 5-8? You know we always like some more info

So can you confirm that you can only match within division and not across division?
 
Removing crowns and giving more cards in an already overpopulated pool - so odds will get even worse. :rolleyes:
Now you veterans are starting to see what a lot of other veterans have been saying ...

ps: thanks for the heads up about the crown removals. I got stuck into 2 lazy alts and got to the 20k reward - much obliged. (y)

Why bother to reduce upgrade costs for Auto Age via the library? Most are maxed out on all resources and need to reduce upgrade time not cost.
I agree, I’m drone age, walls are nearly all maxed out now so I will soon be sat will full resources and nothing to spend it on as waiting for building & research to finish. I don’t even bother collecting from trees and mines anymore most of the time.
