PRIMARY OBJECTIVE

DOMINION main objectives are TERRITORY CONTROL and DOMINATION. There are 25 sectors in scum island, Each sector is governed by its own TEC1 bunker . Your Objective is to capture, control and defend as many bunkers as possible till the season ends. The more TEC1 Bunkers you capture and the longer they remain under your control during the season, the more soft points (SP) you earn increasing your chances to win the league.

Soft Points (SP): Are points earned during the season by each squad (linked to Squad ID) for controlling different ties of Bunkers. Soft points are recorded after each server restart

HOW IT WORKS:

The map is divided into 5 different tiers of sectors and bunkers A, B, C , D and the Z lines controlling D0 Bunker for example will earn the squad who captured it 2 points each server restart comparing to 4 points earned every server restart to the squad who captured and controls B1 bunker.

EXAMPLE:

• Squad Echo now captured B1+B2 bunkers

• Squad Charlie captured DO+D1+C0+C1 bunkers

• Squad Tango controls Z1+A1 bunkers

Upon server restart, each of the above squads will earn the following soft points:

The Soft Points(SP) are automatically recorded and counted to measure the squads performance during the season until the sudden death event occurs.

DOMINION WINNING CONDITION:

Your ultimate objective for you and your squad is to capture, control and defend as many bunkers as possible. The Squad with the highest number of controlled bunkers when the “sudden death”(season end) event happens, wins the league.

The sudden death event gives X2 points for the values mentioned above.

How the final score is calculated?

The top 3 clans with the highest controlled bunkers at season end(sudden death) are shortlisted.

So lets calculate the final score of Squad Echo mentioned above :

Squad Echo score= 4+4 = 8 x2(sudden death bonus) = 16points + (Total SP) earned during the entire season)

To further illustrate, lets assume that Squad Echo earned total SP of 120 points and squad Charily earned total SP of 150 points while squad Tango earned total SP of 100 points.

• Squad Echo final score= 4+4 = 8 x 2 + 120 = 136 points.

• Squad Charlie final score= 2+2+4+4 = 12 x 2 + 150 = 174 points.

• Squad Tango final score= 1+2 = 3 x 2 + 100 = 106 points.

• Squad Charlie will be crowned as THE WINNERS

Important FAQ and Tips

Question: How can I capture a bunker?

In this version of DOMINION season , You will find a special building located at the main gates of each bunker. The building is protected in most of the cases by one TEC1 Sentry. The building is locked by 3 dial locks, you have to unlock the building and capture the flag inside. The flag can be captured only by the Squad Leader and will take 4h to fully capture the bunker.

Question: what is inside the special bunker building?

The 1st time you capture a bunker , you will obtain and find a unique special item : The impersonator vest ( known as the cursed puppet suit) that allows you to walk among the puppets undetected. There are only 24 of those spread across the scum island, one in each bunker. They are unique and will make your mission easier conquering the next bunker.

Question: What happens if i captured a bunker and decided to destroy the flag ?

Then you have wasted your time and resources in this case, The flag will reappear after server restart and the bunker will become neutral again and building locked again.

Question: Can I lose control of a bunker after capturing it?

yes, Invading enemies and other squads can attempt to capture the bunker from your team, so always make sure to lock the special building after you capture the bunker. Use traps, silent alarms and manpower, hire mercenaries from Trader areas or Salvation Island* , form alliances and call for their help to defend your territory and you can return favors for them later in the same way.

TIPS&HINTS:

• Flags require only 4h to be captured in DOMINION.
• Yes, you can use C4 to destroy Mechs, best and fastest way is the use of HEAT RPG’s and M82’s
• The easiest way to capture the bunker is to destroy the guarding sentry.
• Use DoD tactics ( Destroy or Distract ) to allow your team time to unlock the bunker room safely.
• Team work and timely coordination are key for DoD
• Use plenty of sensors to alert you when enemies are invading your territory so you can stop them from capturing any of your bunkers. You will always have 4h to reach and defend your bunkers.
• After the server Restart, or if you left the bunker area, the sentries will re-spawn and they will attack You and your enemies and become hostile to all humans again. In future versions you will be able to control the Robots from the bunker control center ( fingers crossed )
• Strong economy is a true hidden weapon in DOMINION.
• You can only buy the AT4 HEAT single use at the black markets.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE

Puppet Eyes: It can’t be a scum league without them.

With such mega scale of the primary objective, we did not forget about SOLO and DUO players. While everyone can compete for the puppet eyes (PE’s) side quest, it makes more sense for the solo players and DUO’s to take part in the PE competition.

PE’S WINNING CONDITION:

The player with the most PUPPET EYES (average per squad member) collected and secured by the end of the Season will be crowned victor. ( counts only with flag-owned area stored in “storage shelves “. )

A solo player had 1000 Puppet eyes stored in his storage shelves by season end.

Duo Squad had 1000 Puppet eyes in their storage shelves by season end.

Quadro (4 players ) squad had 1000 Puppet eyes. 

For equal and fair opportunities for all to win the League, the score will be calculated as the following

• Solo player score = 1000/1 = 1000 points

• Duo Squad = 1000/ 2 = 500 points 

• Trio Squad = 1000 / 3 = 334 points

• Quad Squad = 1000 / 4 = 250 points 

same for 5 and 6 players squads.

SALVATION ISLAND – OFFSHORE HOUSING

Solo and duo players can finally have nice summer vacation in the Z4 Island Code-named: SALVATION ISLAND

This addition provides players the opportunity to claim safe houses on the nice offshore island, offering an added layer of security and a strategic advantage.

Base building is disabled. And lock picking is disabled in salvation island, but not indefinitely, and they are also far from safe, it is a PVP enabled island after all.
Any number of offshore (salvation island) houses (rooms) can be captured locked by players. Once the player reaches the island, they can claim an unoccupied house or technically a room in a house (there are plenty) and place their backup loot chests there

Defending Your Offshore House: Once a house is captured, it’s not safe indefinitely. It is a PVP zone. In addition during the mid-season and end season grace periods (72hours of disabled base damage and lock-picking ) Salvation island will be the only place without protection Other players can try to raid these houses, during the grace periods. In a nutshell offshore housing are ideal for mercs or contestants focusing on secondary objectives only ( still they cant win without a base and safely storing their PE’s inland ) and while everyone else bases are safe inland during the grace periods, Salvation Island will be the only place in danger.

Salvation Island is also a fertile soil to meet other solo players, make or join other duo squads or hire them as mercs ( Please read the Mercenary System Carefully ) to help in capturing other sectors or ask for favors for temporary safe storage. Given there is no base building allowed in the Salvation Island(Z4), it is obvious its inhabitants cannot win unless they have an inland protected home.

TIPS&HINTS:
Z4 bunker is a NEUTRAL BUNKER that cannot be captured.

• You cannot build Flags or bases in Z4 Island

• Beware of greedy landlords : At the start of the season, many players might think that capturing many houses in salvation island is good idea. You will be at their mercy , they might ask for a big chunk of your Puppet Eyes to give your a room for safe storage.

• Safe from Land Raiders: A significant advantage of these offshore houses is that they are mostly safe from casual raiders. The distance and difficulty in reaching these houses act as a natural deterrent. However, players should still be prepared for determined opponents who are equipped with the necessary resources to stage an offshore raid during grace periods.

• Resource Management: While these offshore houses offer safety, they also pose a unique challenge in terms of resource management. Players must regularly ferry resources from the mainland to their offshore house, providing a balance to the safety advantage.

• Strategic Advantage: Offshore houses also provide a strategic advantage. They can serve as a a launching pad for mainland raids. Players can also use them as hideouts to evade enemies or lay low and store raid loot or puppet eyes after a successful raid or as a temporary means of safe storage until their mainland base is built and ready to use.

Offshore Housing offers a unique blend of strategy, risk, reward, adding layers of depth to the gameplay and providing players with different play styles choices and long terms planning.

MERCENARY SYSTEM, ALLIANCES AND MORE ..

Mercenaries are also the ideal candidates for competing the PE’s competition, they can ask for their payment in the form of PE’s or other valuable resources.

TIPS&HINTS

As per the rules, The Solo players are required to Create a solo Squad in all cases. if you choose to be a Mercenary in Day 1 or in any time. Add or rename your squad with [Merc] in-front of your squad name.

Hangout in 2nd Floor of the BARS to clearly indicate your are a MERC(s) for hire. and plan your logistics ahead of time. No one will want to hire a poorly equipped mercenary(s).

Advertise your services in the [LOCAL CHAT] only in Trader zones.

Alliances

Alliances are now more important than ever to help you reach the top 3-4 Squads by the season end.

It is a new Dawn folks, ever wanted to build a strong base but hated the long grind? Well worry no more. You are now able to build and rebuild your base if you get raided with ease. All what you need is strong economy going.

All building materials are now available at the traders at discounted cheaper cost.

If you want to build a strong scum empire, you will need a strong HQ to govern no ? you need to store you puppet eyes in a safe base that lasts to the end of the season. But if you get raided, its also not a problem, you can always rebuild, get those safely stored puppet eyes in salvation island and sell them for a very attractive price at the outposts.

But what if you get an annoying neighbor that refuses to cooperate and keep attacking your bunkers, Well maybe it is time to RAID the F** of them and drive them away out of your lands.

You can now Buy the AT4 HEAT single use from the black markets, and use them wisely for raiding or territory expansion.
