DomiNations

I have played from the beginning, and I really enjoy how they improved it over the years. It is faster to level up if you are just starting, they increased the resources received from the caravans and farms if you get attacked you can still advance. Oil farming is still a little rough and I am top age. So don’t be discouraged if you can’t advance fast for oil required things for I am also catching up even tho most top aged peers has better upgrades. It is still fun watching each building change with each upgrade. It seems when each age is released the attack tactic changes for all levels so don’t worry if your army needs adjustment or it seems like you can’t attack the levels you were able to before keep trying new ways. Keep going! The only thing I would like to change is alliance war pairing for even tho I am level 344 my alliance is lower level than me and it is hard for them to attack or we get paired with ones that just wipe us even tho my army is lower, my resource buildings are higher so I can’t even attack them strongly. I know you guys are trying so hard and maybe it is just not possible at the moment to pair with equal powered alliances all the time for I don’t want you to fix it and then we are the alliance that just wipes them out everytime. Just looking for more evenly paired wars.

I wish I could give this game 4 1/2 stars because it’s so close to being perfect. I was a big player in GOW a few years back, but had to quit because of the pay-to-win aspect of the game. The only way to remain powerful in GOW was to spend money, considering how long it wouId take to train troops (which you needed thousands of) and all could be destroyed in one attack, rendering your account useless for gameplay for weeks unless you spent more money. I chose this game because of the reviews and so far I’m thrilled. It’s much more interactive than I’m used to. Having an area that’s privately owned by you in which you can gather resources makes gameplay consistent. There’s always something to do. There’s also more strategy involved in war here as you actually deploy each of your different troops on an opponents base. And each base is constructed differently. Winning in GOW is typically based on doing the math on the stats of your stuff vs. theirs and hoping to actually have the opportunity to attack, which is rare. The only thing I’m missing in DomiNation is the lack of social structure. There’s no world map of other players and no way to communicate with opponents. As far as I’m aware, the only other players you CAN communicate with are members of your own alliance. This lessens the fun of competition in a big way, and doesn’t reflect a very real part of competing empires: politics and diplomacy. If DomiNations would globalize the game a bit more, it would be truly epic.

This game has HUGE potential and I think it is very fun! The constant updates keep content fresh, new and exciting and the huge depth that goes into the game along with historical accuracy and the ability to play as one of 8 cool nations and use their special abilities and troops make this game one of a kind! This game stands out from all other similar genre games for this reason. The graphics are also excellent especially when it's not cartoony like Clash of Clans. Also, the fact that you advance throughout history makes you feel like you are accomplishing stuff. Advance from throwing rocks to shooting arrows. Develop gunpowder weaponry such as guns. Industrialize in the Industrial Revolution with new war weapons such as tanks, planes and machine guns! Develop helicopters later on! So much personalization as well. Play the way you want! Are you a constant attacker? Choose the French or Germans! Do you like developing your economy? Choose the Greeks or Chinese! Do you love huge loot? Choose the British! Love defending? Choose the Japanese! The only problem in the game is the troop A.I. They are kind of idiotic but it is manageable. It would also be nice for German riflemen and SMGs to look German and not French. Yeah, I love this game! I would highly recommend it!
