The front is moving forward

Stay at attention Soldiers!
What's the news from the front lines? The enemy is bending to our ideas and successful testing. We are happy with what we have achieved so far. Let us tell you that the solo mode will give you a hard time! Oh, and we can't wait to hear reports about how difficult the game itself will be for you in this module.
For a long time we have been wondering if the title Domination is the most appropriate for this game. Domination is gained in the game in many directions - on land, in water and in the air, militarily and technologically. And the ultimate goal of the game is to achieve total domination. Such a simple concept should be closer to what the game is actually about - so we decided to change the title of the game to Total Domination.
This will also allow us to avoid possible confusion with other games called Domination or that have Domination in their name.
Since the plastic pieces (including the moldings) will be manufactured in China, we are beginning to wonder if we will be able to time production so that the games are completed and shipped out in June. Chinese New Year has just finished and we're getting reports that the queues are starting to grow. There's huge congestion on the railroads, and the loading stations can't keep up. But there’s no point worrying about this, because we expect more precise information soon, and we'll be sure to update you on the situation as a whole as soon as we've investigated everything.
At ease, soldiers!
Stay safe!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are feeling well and winter hasn't taken you by surprise like it did us!
We're still testing the solo variant for Domination. It finally feels like what we wanted to achieve. We are constantly testing with independent testers to catch any problems or ambiguities. However, everything is moving towards completion.
We are testing the functionality of an alternative version of the map. It shows the geographical distribution of key positions in the game and the relationships between them. Below you can see our struggles on test printouts (it's not the final graphic design).
Stay warm!

Cartography is an important thing

Hello Everyone!
I hope all backers are fine and staying healthy.
The most important thing is that the project is under heavy development.
The solo mode is being thoroughly tested by our team every day using TableTop Simulator. It looks very promising for now, but we won't reveal anything about it yet. If you want to try your hand at Domination, you can do it on TableTop Simulatorand Tabletopia.
Since the last update, we have received another set of new illustrations, which will be on the cards and will go into the artbook. Here is a sample of them.
Perhaps it will come as a surprise to many that we are considering making a more realistic map on the other side of the board - with the fields being drawn based on the actual continents. For the time being, work is still ongoing, but perhaps you can say what you think of this idea. Here is the first sketch.
And on our website we have just launched a quiz about Domination, in which you can test your knowledge about the Second World War and, by the way, win a voucher for 100 euros to be spent in our shop (with free shipping!).
We wish you rest, peace and joy in the coming time!

Hello Everyone!
I hope that you remain safe and are taking care of yourself.
It's been a while since the Pledge Manager (BackerKit) opened and most of you should have received invitations to your orders. If you couldn't handle it or if you didn't receive such an e-mail (not in SPAM) please contact me in a private message or by e-mail: [email protected]
The work on 'Domination' is going well. Most of the rules have been completed - we still have to finish them off and a few issues need to be clarified so that in the final version of the rulebook players will have no doubts. The Solo Mode has not yet been completed, but the designer has found a way on how to introduce this option into the game and we hope to be able to give you some more details on this soon.
We are still testing different layouts to detect potential inconveniences and any lack of balance. So far, we have not found any problems, which gives hope that everything has already been worked out.
The artwork is being gradually developed, as you can see from the following graphics, which will be on cards and probably some of them will be in the Artbook.
Stay safe and Stand Easy!

Hello Everyone!
It took us more time than we expected, but finally, we have good news for you - the Pledge Manager is open and invitations to backers have been sent out. If you haven't received the invitation yet, check if the e-mail is in your SPAM folder. If you still can’t see the invitation, please go directly to https://domination.backerkit.com/sign_in and use your Kickstarter registration e-mail to get your invitation.
After you click the invitation link, please choose your country. This will set up your shipping charge.
Next please choose your language edition.
Then continue with the add-ons. Please add to your cart the additional items you wish to have in your order - as it is done in a regular webshop. Your pledged amount is your available credit (reduced by the pledge you have chosen, that you already have in your basket, including the game itself). But you can purchase any extra items, and the total to be paid will be created including the shipping price.
Finally, enter your shipping address, pay the balance, and click "Place Order" and you'll be all set.
Once you respond to your survey, you can still go back later and change your choices until we close the surveys and get our final counts. If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://domination.backerkit.com/
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://domination.backerkit.com/faq
If you have any questions about the Pledge Manager or how your order is processed, please make sure to contact Backerkit Support first, as the tool is very user-friendly and has a solid helpdesk. If they can’t help you, please contact Agata Jurczyszyn, our BackerKit Manager: [email protected]
The pledge manager will be open until 30 May.
PRE-ORDER
The Pledge Manager is open to anyone who would like to receive the game at the same time as the Kickstarter backers. Here is a link to the preorder page (it works like a regular webshop): https://domination.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Please note that V2 miniatures, Peace Cards Expansion & Damage Markers are exclusive for Kickstarter backers. Everything else is the same as in the campaign.
Player Aid & Rulebook will also be available in Italian (digital version). The game is language-independent.
Stay safe and take care of yourself!
