How do I use my troops to defend my village?
Defense of your village happens automatically via your Towers, Garrisons, Stables, and other defensive structures. The troops in your barracks are used only for attacking; however, any troops donated to you by your Alliance will defend your Town Center if it is attacked. Keep in mind that any donated troops lost while defending will no longer be available for a later attack.


How do I get revenge on someone who attacked me?
If another player has attacked you, check defense history to view the results of the battle and watch its replay. Attack and Defense History can be accessed in your in-game Mailbox (envelope icon on the left side). If the player is online and does not have an active peace treaty you may opt to get revenge on your attacker by tapping the ‘Revenge’ button. 

You will be unable to get revenge while the player is online or under a peace treaty.


Why can't I Revenge attack?
Revenge attacks must meet a number of criteria before they can be successfully launched, some of which aren’t immediately obvious. In order for a player to start a Revenge attacks, the target of the Revenge must NOT be:
• Under a Peace Treaty
• Under attack
• Queued up to be attacked by another player
• Playing DomiNations
Since we have a big list of requirements to ensure fairness, sometimes starting Revenge attack feels like an impossible task. We understand that this is very frustrating – no one likes to hit the Revenge button and fail! Active players, players holding a lot of resources, players who are under a long peace treaty, or even just high medal count players only have very short times they can successfully be Revenge attacked.

How was someone able to deploy his or her troops within my walls?
Deployment areas are determined by the footprint size of the buildings and it’s no-deploy zone (i.e., the white area surrounding).
Due to this, if there is an area within your base that is not completely covered by the white around your buildings, it is possible to deploy troops there.

Why am I being attacked by players with a much higher experience level than me?
Matchups are determined not by player experience level, but rather a combination of a player’s Age and Medal count. Our system matches players within a large range of Medal counts to ensure there is a wide variety of opponents. This means you will be able to attack both weaker opponents, who are easier to beat, and stronger opponents, who have more loot available to steal. Of course, the same range of players will also be able to attack you!

Rest assured, the number of medals won or lost in battle is determined by the difference in medals each player has. The higher the medal count of your opponent, the greater the medal reward you will gain for a win and the lesser penalty you will suffer for a loss.


Why was I attacked by a player with far more Medals than me?
Our system matches players within a large range of Medal counts to ensure there is a wide variety of opponents. This means you will be able to attack both weaker opponents, who are easier to beat, and stronger opponents, who have more loot available to steal. Of course, the same range of players will also be able to attack you!

Rest assured, the number of medals won or lost in battle is determined by the difference in medals each player has. The higher the medal count of your opponent, the greater the medal reward you will gain for a win and the lesser penalty you will suffer for a loss.

If the Medal count between you and the player that attacked you was exceptionally large, it’s likely that it was a Revenge attack. Players who Revenge attack bypass the normal matchmaking system, meaning they can have a greater difference in Medals than a normal Multiplayer battle and can be from a later Age. Of course, this means that you also have the opportunity to seek revenge on players with far less (or more) medals than you!


I was attacked by a player using too many troops. Are they cheating?
As players progress through the ages in Dominations, they can upgrade buildings and research technologies which allow them to bring larger amounts of troops into a battle. 

However, if you believe a player is cheating and would like to report an exploit, please send us a screenshot with detailed evidence (i.e. username, alliance, player level, etc.). This can be done via the “Contact Us” button on the top right of the customer service page in your settings.
