North American Domination

North American Domination
Wagon West, formerly and better known as North American Domination, is a Domination created by user clanky4. North American Domination is widely regarded as one of the first widely popular Dominations, alongside Halo Galactic Domination, and is believed to have served to popularize the genre. NAD is credited with the beginning of the Fallout Genre of Dominations, which continues to be semi-major to this day.

History
North American Domination was released on 8/2/2010 and is believed to be the second major Domination to emerge. During the Classic Period, North American Domination averaged between 3-9 players a day, and was moderately active. NAD would begin to rise in popularity with its first map update, which released on 6/20/2011.

Golden Age
North American Domination was the 2nd largest active domination for the majority of the Golden Age. It often contended with Project Solar for the spot of 2nd, however, both games were created by clanky4. North American Domination averaged around 10-20 players a day, with an all-time high believing to be 30+ players at one time, but this is not proven to be true. On rare occasions, NAD reached the front page.

Decline
NAD's decline is attributed to community fatigue. NAD had been going for quite a long time without major losses of players or major incidents, and as such even minor incidents would affect the community greatly. Despite the community already having been plunged into decline by the time of the Valve HQ update, it is attributed as a leading factor to the game's death. The Valve HQ update added Seattle and an enterable Valve HQ, which would lead to a maze. When the end of the maze was reached, the player could click a button and cause burgers to rain from the sky, which killed players repeatedly and damaged the map.

Legacy
NAD's legacy and name is still very prevalent to this day. Despite the original version by clanky4 receiving regular misc. updates, the game has been inactive for many years.
