What do you find the most fun about DomiNations?

[RAH-66]

Hello Leaders!

RAH-66 here, hoping to talk a little bit about DomiNations with you all. Over my years working at Big Huge Games as a game designer, I’ve played a LOT of DomiNations. I’ve tried tons of strategies, and played literally thousands of battles. I’ve absolutely obliterated opponents, then turned around to be completely steamrolled by all-in defensive bases. I’m sure there are plenty of you out here who have played more than me, but I would very much like to ask everyone about some of the most fun you’ve had over your entire DomiNations career! So tell me:


What do you find the most fun about DomiNations?


I’ll start! I love finding strategies that work surprisingly well in games like this, so when I found out APCs can deploy nation-specific Heavy Infantry, I knew I had to try it. I invested everything into those APCs, and when we released Munitions, I was ecstatic that my Infantry could lead the charge with Protect! Since then I’ve tried a huge array of army comps, but always find myself falling back on my ol’ reliable APCs. Will I 5 Star every single base? Nope. But it sure is fun seeing an Anti Tank Gun try to deal with my horde of soldiers.
What about you? I’ll be as active as I can in this thread, but I ask for your patience as I have to balance responding here against my work responsibilities!

Hey folks, we got a bit of a think piece for you to check out from one of our designers! Let us know your thoughts over the weekend!

Hey friends. I'll tell you my story too. I built one of the strongest bases in this game. I had a good base layout. But then Tactical Helicopters and Infiltrators arrived, along with 8 Demolition Tactics, and they destroyed my AA defenses within the first 10 seconds of the attack. Then Bombers flew in with 300+ HP and crushed me. It was awesome. I highly recommend it.

I remember when I thought I had one of the strongest bases in the game too! Oh how we've been humbled.

Il admit... its crushing lower ages then me...
Im newer player so im still fresh, enjoying the game, aging up etc. but i LOVE to go to tutorial mission and spawn armored car! Or any new unit i unlocked, and see it demolish egyptian base. Also in pvp when matched with lower age, especially with unique forest and base layout! But ofc i wanna play fair and gotta give others same joy, and in war i fight my own peers, but as second attack or if outcome is already decided, to steamroll some lower base. Without tactics n stuff, just watching that heavy tank blow things up.
I mean i spent months upgrading my base and finally got to new era, why not play with my superiority now.

Find new strategies is definitely one of the most fun part of the game. My favourite is attack helicopters with APCs combo. Id love it. Not so effective as bombers or Mortars/artillery but it's way more fun.

Manufactory was a great addition too. Very well designed, nice and unique buffs etc.
We need more new munitions to explore!

Museum showcase and mythical artifacts is another interesting and extremely effective addition. Really changed the way we playing.

Some ideas:

1.Rebalance generals! They need HP and DMG buff also it will be great if they had unique attributes that affect your army or/and your defenders/ defensive buildings.

2. Rebalance some abandoned / unusable troops .
Heavy tanks, heavy cavalry, Bazookas, machine guns , riflemen and attack helicopters need totally rework.
They are worthless to use.

3. Mercenaries rework. Not much more to tell about them.

4. Make command post really useful as defending building.

5. Wonder rebalance!
Besides of acropolis, Colosseum, Versailles, Brandenburg, statue of liberty, space shuttle and hermitage rest wonders are useless ! Rework on them to provide really useful attributes. (Most defensive wonders are crap)

6.Nations rebalance!
It's been 10 years and nothing changed on them .

7. Make coalition to be affect on friendly challenges.
Also add more coalitions..For example: a defensive coalition that providing trap damage/effectiveness. Or an offensive that providing a permanent healing to your army something like medic blessing( Cherokee coalition could have that attribute instead of supply cart healing buff)


Also. Change the rates about councilors in packs and fuse rates. It's really impossible and extremely priced to find the councilors you need with those rates.
A token acquired system-or something like that -for epic/legendary councilors would be great.

I like to see my base challange the opposite and the most fun is seeing them to lose some stars… the bad thing are the replies because if my base got destroyed and by watching rhe reply and just seeing the opposite getting 1 star but the result shows 5 stars it is disappointing so please try to fix the reply

The most fun I had was pre-museum. Since then I’ve been given mind-numbing tasks of collecting fragments, blueprints, supplies, council pieces, fusing, rerolling, crafting, manufacturing, collecting tokens, striking etc. 90% of my time in the game now makes me question my commitment.

I dont pay any attention to that stuff. That would make me miserable

 

[KrispyCrame]

honestly, at this point, there isnt really that much fun directly in the game. i think i speak for a lot of folks when i say i'm still here because 1) sunk cost fallacy 2) the community i belong to (exiles family, represent!).

as someone with many accounts, especially with the newest releases, everything just feels like a chore. offense is the same repeatable formula (either with bombers or mortar/para). defense gets killed.

the most fun i have nowadays is talking to the folks i have met over the years.

Hallo Führungskräfte!

RAH-66 hier, und ich würde mich gerne ein bisschen mit euch über DomiNations unterhalten. In meinen Jahren als Spieledesigner bei Big Huge Games habe ich unzählige DomiNations gespielt. Ich habe haufenweise Strategien ausprobiert und buchstäblich Tausende von Schlachten bestritten. Ich habe Gegner vernichtend geschlagen und bin dann von einer komplett auf Verteidigung ausgerichteten Basis überrannt worden. Sicherlich gibt es viele von euch, die noch mehr gespielt haben als ich, aber ich würde euch sehr gerne nach euren schönsten DomiNations-Erlebnissen fragen! Also erzählt mal:


Was gefällt dir am meisten an DomiNations?


Ich fange an! Ich liebe es, Strategien zu entdecken, die in solchen Spielen überraschend gut funktionieren. Als ich also herausfand, dass Schützenpanzer länderspezifische schwere Infanterie einsetzen können, wusste ich, dass ich das unbedingt ausprobieren musste. Ich habe alles in diese Schützenpanzer investiert, und als das Munitions-Update veröffentlicht wurde, war ich überglücklich, dass meine Infanterie mit „Schutz“ den Angriff anführen konnte! Seitdem habe ich unzählige Armeezusammenstellungen ausprobiert, greife aber immer wieder auf meine altbewährten Schützenpanzer zurück. Werde ich jede Basis mit fünf Sternen erobern? Nein. Aber es macht einfach Spaß zu sehen, wie eine Panzerabwehrkanone versucht, meine Soldatenhorde zu bekämpfen.
Und du? Ich werde in diesem Thread so aktiv wie möglich sein, bitte dich aber um Geduld, da ich die Antworten hier mit meinen beruflichen Verpflichtungen in Einklang bringen muss!

Wie MrBoombastic bereit schrieb: .. überarbeitet die Truppen! RAH-66, Sie schreiben oder erfragen nichts ohne Hintergrund. Ihre letzte wohlwollende Information galt den Angriffsfahrzeugen und der Idee, wie gut es wäre, diese wieder in Kämpfen zu nutzen. Ich schrieb, dass das gar nichts bringt, wenn sie ihre alten Eigenschaften beibehalten. Ihre Bemühung diese dennoch aufzuwerten und uns nahe zu bringen ist völlig verpufft.
Die Schützenpanzer ja, die sind vordergründig gut im Multiplayer-Kämpfen einsetzbar. Was sie da jetzt vorhaben -ich vermute das nur-, wird den erhofften Nutzen nicht erbringen. Wie gesagt, Sie schreiben nichts ohne bereits eine Änderung im Blick zu haben. Wie Harlem sagte, ihr seit ein kleines Team und werdet nicht an allen Dingen arbeiten können. Somit dürfte sicher sein, dass ihre Truppen die seit Gründung dieselben Eigenschaften besitzen zeitlich gesehen nicht neu ausbalancieren könnten (Aufwand).
BITTE erinnern Sie sich oder recherchieren es nach, welche Entwicklungen es in der Vergangenheit gab, um Basen umfassender zu verteidigen. Uns zu animieren andere Truppen in Erwägung zu ziehen und einzusetzen ist verständlich. Führt aber nicht zum gewünschten Ergebnis.
Da flehen Euch die Spieler seit Monaten an doch die Reichweite der Helikopter wieder in Ordnung zu bringen. NICHTS passiert. Ich bin gespannt, wirklich gespannt, zu welchem Ergebnis Ihre Aktion führt, was Sie wirklich vorhaben.

for me personally the best feeling is winning a World War in the last 4 minutes by wrecking a base i didnt think i could make a dent in.. the feeling of accomplishment and domination is real and i've been chasing that high for years now! lol

After eight plus years of upgrading my base, I find I am less able than ever to defeat other bases. The game has evolved to the point where, frankly, it is almost impossible to destroy others. I find this completely discouraging. The game is no fun. I intend to stop playing as soon as I have used up my saved crowns.

Don't give up. All you need in later ages is Saboteurs, Bombers and demolition tactics and you'll be winning again.

After 8 years you should be a king. This is what i mean when i say i enjoy crushing lower ages. Otherwise whats the point? Upgrade to robotics age just to face other robotics age bases fully upgraded? Wheres the fun in that? I suggest you do 2 things: First lower your medal count to face weaker opponents and 1 age lower. Secondly: Join some noob alliance and squash others who are much lower.

Just use upgraded MRL with APC 8 and 8 works well. If you combine with bomber attack or para this combo will work on most O bases

If you wanna get help join Elite our discord is full everything and ask anyone they are glad to help
