World Domination: Preview

On Feb. 15, 2012, many of you probably noticed connection problems in trying to play E&A, especially in trying to engage in battle.  The reason is probably because Zynga's servers were being updated for a new feature called World Domination.  Here's a sneak preview.  More to come later!

Zynga's announcement

World Domination is a mode related to Battle Blitz.  As the name suggests, you will probably be able to battle other players on a much wider scale than the limited 15 random neighbors in Battle Blitz.  Unlike Battle Blitz, you will not choose an area to invade--it'll be more like virtual arena PVP.

New Controls

On Feb. 16, 2012, the controls at the lower right corner of the game screen was changed to the following (which is the same as the above screenshot, but in a different state):

The lower left button can be toggled between the two PVP "Battles" modes: Battle Blitz and World Domination.  The middle button is for Survival Mode.  The right button is for Campaign Mastery, which can be toggled between the Wrath of the Raven and Molten Terror campaigns.

These controls are now consistent between different game screens.  For instance, when you visited a neighbor before, there was only a big button in the lower right to return to your empire.  Now you see the same controls when you're visiting your neighbors.  You still can't go directly to Campaign Mastery from a neighbor's empire, however.


World Domination Screen

This is the first screen you get when you select World Domination:

World Domination Battle Screen

Here's what a battle screen in World Domination looks like:

Notice the new arrangement of bars on the top of the screen.  There's also a new Domination bar.  The Dominance Rank is 31 and the Dominance points is 37,480.  It's this high because when you start World Domination, you start out with a certain Dominance Rank and points based on your XP at the time.  The "1620/2050" is the current and maximum allowable total Health that you can field in battle.

New Units

Here are some of the units that you can unlock in World Domination:

From upper left going in the same way you read in English, the units are:

• Owl Fighter, Phoenix Bomber, Ghost Bat Fighter
• Buzzard Autogyro, Mantis Infantry, Tarantula Artillery
• Armadillo Artillery, Badger Tank
• Seahive Carrier, Gator Patrol Boat

Here's a scroll bar showing some of the unlockable units:

Here's the first quest that goes with the roll-out of World Domination:
