DomiNations “Great Leaders” Trailer Debuts on YouTube
EMERYVILLE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nexon M and Big Huge Games launched the “Great Leaders” update for DomiNations
today, adding five of the greatest minds in history (Catherine the
Great, Leonardo da Vinci, King Sejong, Saladin and Suleiman I), with
each leader offering new skills to enhance players’ armies and defenses
based on that leader’s life achievements. The Great Leaders Update also
adds Alliance leaderboards to the massive 100-player World War
campaigns, and brings localization support for Italy and Turkey. DomiNations
has been downloaded more than 20 million times and is available as a
free download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and Android devices at www.dominations.com.
“DomiNations is all about unique player strategy and celebrating
the triumphs of the many cultures of the world throughout human
history,” said Tim Train, CEO, Big Huge Games. “To embrace this, we’ve
added some of the greatest minds in science, culture and military
strategy from across history to give players even more ways to
strengthen and customize their empires than ever before.”
The Great Leaders update introduces the University, a new upgradable
structure where Great Leaders can be consulted for their wisdom. Each
Great Leader offers knowledge of different skills with both passive and
active bonuses. Players can conduct research at the University to expand
and unlock each Great Leader’s skill trees to help advance their
civilizations.
DomiNations’ multiplayer experience will also receive Alliance
vs. Alliance leaderboards to track stats during World War campaigns,
spotlighting top leaders and spurring competition between Alliances in
the game’s 50-vs-50 wars. DomiNations has also added support for
Italian and Turkish languages. To celebrate, two of the Great Leaders
hail from those nations: Leonardo da Vinci and Suleiman I.
DomiNations is the strategy game challenging players to lead
their own civilization from the Stone Age to the Space Age. As one of
eight nations, players will research, explore and gather resources and
compete in strategic single-player and multiplayer conquests to grow
their civilization. With more than 100 unique upgradeable structures,
units and technologies, players must balance managing their
civilization’s food and economy while training their armies to earn
valuable loot in battle and defending their own wealth.
