First of all, I've loved the implementation you've done with Dominion. I've played with regularity over a few iterations now and so far like yours the best.

For the most part, it's super quick and smooth and I can rattle through games against various AI opponent counts very quickly.

My main method of play is with a friend who moved away from my town years ago and we stay in contact over Dominion multiple times a week. We talk through Skype while we play so we can still trash talk each other.

As far as items on your list you're looking for feedback on, here are my thoughts.

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Would love this. I travel for business and would love to play Dominion on long flights.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
This would be a fun addition. I can imagine choosing an AI that attacks every time or various other settings.

3. A strong bot.
A nice thing to have, but I haven't been too concerned about this.

4. Options for timed games
Not a big deal to me.

5. Options for undo settings
I don't know what options this would entail. Hardly use the Undo function but when I need it (like when I mis-click instead of right click to look at something), I'm very glad it's there.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
This would be a great way for me to pull other friends into this addictive den.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Absolutely!
I mostly play with known friends. So specific invites would be very welcome.

8. More translations (to what language?)
No use by me.

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I like the quickness of games. Animations are nice, but are secondary.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
I've been fine with the way it is now.

10. Option to hide the log
I use the log constantly. An option to hide it wouldn't be a problem to me, but I'd have it open all the time. So just don't eliminate how easy it is currently.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Doesn't impact me.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Yes! App all the way.

13. Downloadable game logs
I wouldn't use it. I don't want to study after a game is over, I just want to play again.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I don't have experience with this.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Not needed for me.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not needed for me.

However things go in the future, keep up the great work! It's a good thing I don't tally up how many hours/days/weeks of my 2017 was spent in Dominion Online. ;)

Since this new online Dominion arrived on the scene, I've averaged about 10 games daily - until last Thursday when my account won't connect any more.

Just after finishing one game with a friend (after about our 4th game), I got a screen that said "Reconnecting". However, at the same time over that it said "connected to gameserver" and the icon just kept spinning. I would say it was frozen, but because the icon kept spinning, it seemed like something was going on. Yet, the system didn't know whether I was connected or not.

It never let me through to the system again. And I couldn't even log out or get to the login screen. So I tried a different browser and the same thing happened - instead of getting a login screen it showed the same "Reconnecting" "connected to gameserver" message. After clearing my cache, I finally got to the login screen. But as soon as I entered my name and password the same "Reconnecting" "connected to gameserver" message was there again.

Today, it's still the same issue. I can't get in.
So I cleared my cache again and instead created a new account. With my new account (that's why it says I'm a newbie in this thread because I've created a new account just to post this issue), I was able to login and play. I played a handful of games against the computer and everything was working fine. So I logged out and tried again with my normal account. Guess what? You got it, the same "Reconnecting" "connected to gameserver" conflicting message was there spinning again.

What's the deal?!?!?!
