Hi. Thanks for the generous offer, but like many here, I don't feel a need for you to compensate me for giving feedback, and I don't think that it's your fault that my transaction with MF worked out badly.

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Currently, I only play against people, but I would be interested in (a) campaign(s) like the old ones on MF if the AI were challenging (so this links to #3 below). It's not a high priority, but I'd enjoy it. And while you sensibly said to answer only about what each of us personally wants, I'll also answer on behalf of my 9-year-old daughter, who had her own MF account and greatly enjoyed the campaigns, and might well be drawn back into online play (i.e., I would get her an account again) if they returned.

2-3. A bot with a setting for different play styles / A strong bot.
Not high priorities for me except in re campaigns, but I might enjoy experimenting with them if they existed.

4. Options for timed games
It's a good idea in theory, but I haven't found slow play a problem in practice (with rare exceptions), so it's a low priority to me.

5. Options for undo settings
As many seem to do, I support this--especially automatic undo for steps that didn't yield new information.

6-7. Online mini-tournaments; ... Option to invite specific players .
These are not a priority for me, as I tend simply to play with strangers. If I had friends who routinely played, it would be great.

8. More translations (to what language?)
N/A (English-speaking)

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Yes. This is a very high priority for me.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Also a very high priority.

10. Option to hide the log
Not particularly important to me, but might be nice.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Assuming that this encompasses tablets as well as phones, this is also a very high priority for me. (I wouldn't play on a phone, but would love to do so on my tablet.) That would include simply making an app that allowed online play with people, though I understand why an offline client for play against bots/campaigns is the ultimate goal. (I very often play against people on other, similar apps--e.g., Ascension--on my iPad on the subway, in cars with ride-share services, etc., using my phone as a wifi hotspot.) Maybe it wouldn't make economic sense to make an app *before* you have better AI--i.e., to make an app that would just be for playing online--but I'd buy it in a second if you did.

13. Downloadable game logs
Another in the not-important-to-me-but-I-see-why-it's-useful category.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Not a priority only because I haven't had significant problems.

15-16. Tutorial on how to play Dominion / Dominion online
Not important to me.

Thanks again for all your efforts and for the online product, which I greatly enjoy.
