Captain's Transport

Captain's Transport is the highest level of Transports currently available in the game.


“Deploy Paratroopers onto the battlefield from above. Paratroopers do not cause enemy defenders to spawn. Tap anywhere to designate the drop location. Transports must wait to load more troops before they can be re-deployed.”


Transports are the third type of air unit to use in the game DomiNations. They're unlocked by upgrading the Airstrip to level 3 in the Global Age.

General information[]

Transports airplane's AI is to fly to the target area from the nearest perimeter, drop Paratroopers, and then fly back to where it came from. It can be used repeatedly through the battle if it is not destroyed. Though it will take a few moment cool-down, before the Transports airplane can be deployed again.

Transports airplane takes 3 Air Space. It has 30s deployment cooldown (without boosts) and deploys 3 Paratroopers (without boosts) at the target area each time it runs.

The Paratroopers, once deployed, will attack the nearest building. Against Town Centers, they deal 85% less damage.

They won't trigger most enemy defenders to spawn; they only spawn the following: Generals, troops via hidden traps, and troops spawned via the signal flare). For clarity sake, they do trigger all traps.

From Heavy Transports above, Transports deploy Airborne Infantries instead of Paratroopers; this is only a name change.

Museum[]

  • Paratrooper
  • Barrack Troops lines do affect paratroopers despite them not being built in the barracks (it's a quirk) -- these generic lines are only found in legendary artifacts
  • The following museum lines do not affect paratroopers: Airstrip Troop, Heavy Infantry

Blessings[]

  • The Weapon and Armor blessings affect paratroopers in multiplayer; but paratroopers do not cause those blessings to expire. So, you can keep those blessings active by not dropping barrack troops, such as Infantry

War Coalitions[]

  • The Aztec and Cherokee offensive coalitions affect paratroopers; as paratroopers are seen as barrack troops

Strategies[]

  • Destroying anti-tank guns early in a battle; they are the biggest threat to paratroopers, use paratroopers to swarm the anti-tank gun as there are too many for it to take care of, or avoid them when possible
  • Although paratroopers trigger all traps, they do not trigger other defensive buildings that spawn troops. This makes the Shuttle's Scan tactic useful with Transport; mainly to trigger signal flares and SAMs
  • In war, a useful strategy is to destroy the Town Center (TC) first with paratroopers. Because they do 85% less damage against the TC, an Assault Rally and/or Recon plane and/or Strength of Gladiator can help accomplish TC destruction quicker. Ideally drop them as to not cause Generals to spawn
