The main hook for DomiNations is that it lets you "play through the ages," and now the Industrial Age has been added in today's 2.0 update. The Industrial Age update introduces new Wonders, units, buildings, blessings, and more.

Players can even equip their bases with iconic real-world structures such as the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, and the Kremlin. Some of the new battle-focused items include tanks, zeppelins, and bi-planes, while new troops are now available for every nation's army.

Everyone who plays DomiNations in the next week will receive an "Industrial Blessing," which affords a 20 percent bonus to caravans, farms, and road incomes. Along with this, players will see a 20 percent increase to league battle bonuses.

A full breakdown of new features for DomiNations through the Industrial Age update is below, as written by Big Huge Games.

  • New Wonders – Choose from the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Kremlin and the Brandenburg Gate. Decide wisely, as each Wonder grants unique bonuses in offense, defense, or resources.
  • New Troops and Units – Loaded with new units, the Industrial age introduces Planes, Tanks, Machine Guns and Commandos to the fight.
  • New Mercenaries – Bolster your invading force with new mercenary soldiers, raiders and heavies such as the Gurkha, Bedouin Raider, and Flammpanzer.
  • New Library Techs – With Drilling, Savings, Heavy Weaponry and Nationalism, increase efficiency on everything from your troops to your oil collection with new Library Techs.
  • New Blessings – Use the Air Defense Blessing and Oil Blessing to get the most out of a new era of resources, warfare and challenges.
