My username is TAPEWORMZ
I am a longtime Dominion player, and carried over from the Making Fun version.
Thank you for extending subs another 6 months!
I am very impressed with the improvements that have come to fruition over this last year! Some of the style is a little basic still for the price of "renting" cards year by year. However, I cannot complain about the functionality! Really a great experience to play - and I do - a lot!
The only thing I really hate is "undo". That's a personal thing for me though, other players seem to like it. I expand on this later on in the survey.
Thank you for creating one of my favorite online games. This site does justice to the board game, and that's a tall order!
The greatest improvement I can imagine is not a subscription based game. One time fee for all cards or some with the option to upgrade. One time fee is the best way to go. But, that's just me.
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I don't see it as necessary, keep it all online.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I'm not sure what play styles would be different, but perhaps for learning your way around new cards this may be useful.
3. A strong bot.
Most times I am looking for online play with a live player. I feel the bots should be more a training vehicle...not one to "beat" but one to learn some tricks from. To show you how to be a stronger player.
4. Options for timed games
No, the games take however long in direct relation to the cards pulled, the timing before a player should resign for not making their turn should be a bit shorter though.
5. Options for undo settings
I hate undo. Some players seem to love it. I think you should have an option to not play those who do or don't like undo.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Yes! Now you're talking!
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Sure, I don't often do this but I can see the advantage.
8. More translations (to what language?)
None.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I think they are very good now.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes! That is a great idea.
10. Option to hide the log
Ya I don't need the log. However some people like to be able to see after another player has made a quick turn.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
You may lose a lot of the impact with such tiny little cards...
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Again, those little screens may not show off the game as much.
13. Downloadable game logs
No.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Yes.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Yes for new players this would be useful...and more players...more fun for me.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Yes.
