Domination help?

[shtanko]

Hey, I've been trying domination and it's rather hard. I wonder if it's even possible to beat all 30 levels. On the leaderboards only one person has a score high enough, maybe they did it.

I'm getting murdered so far on this one level. I'm overwhelmed too quickly.

Any tips? I'm thinking either push to one of the crystals with barracks and kill opponent before they kill me. Or maybe stall their land expansion.

I don't want to build mines first move because i won't have any land to build on then. So I have to place something first but then opponent is faster.

Alright I passed it but mostly by luck. The rest of the levels are super easy compared to this one.

Wow, this is very cool! I completed Domination completely only once during testing. Usually I only tested individual maps.

Congratulations! You are so cool!

I know it's been a couple of weeks since you posted this, but do you remember how you beat that level? I've gotten to level 20 only once and I can't remember how I got past this one.

The idea is to very quickly go to the field between a crystal and opponent's base. That way opponent can't build any defenses on one of the sides.

Thank you very much Shtanko. Even with your video it still took a few attempts to get past level 20. But 21-30 were a wee bit too easy, the ability to send soldiers from the Citadel from the very beginning of the level is a tad overpowered :P.

100% Achievements!
Thanks again for the help.

Is it me or the domination mode is brutal? I tried it multiple times, but my record is only ~13. A few misclicks or a few second hesitation and i'm done. Can't we get some assisst for this who are not so pro at this? :D More tries in exchange for point reduction or something. I cannot do this with 3 lives at all.

I tried doing domination after an update and I do think it's very hard now. Or I need to completely change the strategy, either way, takes too much time.

We plan to make the third season with all new mechanics and changes soon!
