BattleDawn is a MMORPG strategy game connecting players around the world in global conflict. Welcome to the Battle Dawn Game Guide! Battle Dawn is a PBBG strategy game built entirely with Flash. While most similar games are text based, Battle Dawn has a completely graphical user interface! If you are new to the game, it is recomended that you read though the guide to get the best out of the game - and that you actally know what to do. It's free to play and no downloads are needed - it's just up to you to join the battle! The Goal Battle Dawn is a game based on strategy, community and skill. Your goal is to ultimately become the strongest leader, supreme to all others or become part of the largest & greatest alliance ever known. You must learn to use diplomacy, resources and military to aid in your quest for ultimate power. You'll soon discover that greatness can be only achieved through teamwork. Can YOU become the supreme ruler? The Story of BattleDawn After a catastrophe, almost all civilization was wiped from the face of the earth. Now you, as the leader of a surviving group of people, must start to build your colony and strive for world domination as the strongest Colony on earth! Engage in battles, take over countries, gain trust among allies or backstab anyone who gets in your way. You are the leader of your colony, you make the calls, you decide your own fate. End of the Age, New Ones to Come Tons of things have changed since the now-outdated "March Update" Earth-1 is drawing to a close even as I write. While no one ever thought it would happen, the Admin of Earth-1 has militarized Greenland with dozens of Nuclear Silos and hundreds of tanks, hummers, and infantry! The next hundred ticks of havoc will be a time that no Battle Dawn world has ever seen! April was a bumpy time for Battle Dawn as we worked through both the benefits and bugs of new updates. In a matter of a week, we also added Earth-4 and Earth-5 to the Battle Dawn offerings. Our Community proved itself true though, reporting bugs, offering suggestions, and fighting for their positions in the old and new worlds. During this time we also introduced bonuses for relics and crystals so that colonies and alliances possessing them were given significant bonuses. May is now here and passing quickly. Gates have recently been made easier to use with lower Energy costs and also reduced Oil expenditures. Due to the realistic time required to fuel, position and launch nuclear missiles, the minimum launch time has been increased to six ticks. At the same time, though, the long-range time has been reduced to twelve ticks since intercontinental ballistic missiles have minimal variances from far away due to high acceleration at near-space altitudes. In the weeks ahead, we're looking forward to a new age of Earth-1, the potential release of Earth-6, and the long-awaited opening of Mars. As you can see, we're very busy making Battle Dawn the best game on the Net and hope that you'll join us in our journey! March Updates It's been a busy month for Battle Dawn as we've seen several updates and feature releases. We're approaching the 3000th tick in Earth-1, the 1500th tick in Earth-2, and 650th tick in Earth-3. Amidst many bug fixes, the Battle Dawn Development Team has made the following additions and improvements: * Training Base Outpost Upgrade: Allows players to upgrade a standard Barracks to a Training Base which is also capable of recruiting units; often used at a forward position for near-target reinforcement. * Enhanced Colony, Outpost, and Diplomatic Status Graphics * Orders and Radar Menu Updates: The Orders menu now includes Spies, Outposts and Conquers, and the Radar menu differentiates between nuclear missiles and squads. Of course many more changes have been made behind the scenes to improve administration and game performance. Join the Battle Dawncommunity and find out what makes this game so spectacular! New Worlds 29/01/2007: New Worlds - Rumors, Suspicions, and the Truth After word was first released by one of the BattleDawn Admins about upcoming new worlds, rumors abounded, questions flourished, and curiosity skyrocketed. This update is here to quell a few and inspire others. At this time, the BD Staff intend on releasing Earth-2, a world duplicate in topography to Earth-1, but refreshed by a clean slate. All players are welcome to start anew in Earth-2, while still continuing their conquests in Earth-1. Also piquing much interest is the upcoming Mars world. Mars-1 will follow in the month or two after Earth-2's release. Information about the changes of geography and the impact to colony development and battle (due to the lack of oceans present on Earth) is forthcoming, but rest assured that you will find it here first. Remember to look for the answers to your questions first in the Guide (soon to be released in an Official version here on the BD Portal) and then on the Forums. We have an incredible player community and your contributions will only make that better!
