Many players are asking questions about this. There seems to be an element of confusion about the Dom era with many expecting a drop soon after the era start - this is not the case. We now have an updated wiki and I wanted to highlight the basics of this timing here.
Domination has 2 main eras:
1. The time from the world start until Domination start. This is the Pre Dom era and a known period based on world speed with the date published from the start. During this time alliances are able build a base but it is not intended to be long enough in most worlds to achieve close to the required 40%
2. The Domination era. At the start of this era the valid islands are published and the information on all alliances percentages is available. During this era alliances battle for Domination. The aim is for one alliance to fight to hold 40% of all cities. If any alliance achieves this no drop in percentage is necessary. This is a scenario that is expected to be possible if alliances genuinely fight to win. A drop scenario is included just in case this is not achievable to ensure the game does not go on forever.
The time to the first drop is the same as that from world start to Dom era start. So for example if the time from world start to Dom era start is 112 days then the Dom era allows 112 days for an alliance to achieve 40% before a drop.
The wiki page has now been updated to reflect this and now includes the data for timing of the drops based on world speeds and the calculations for the drop. Hopefully this will make things a lot clearer for everyone.
