First I want to say that I very much appreciate the hard work that has gone into making Dominion online the great game it is! There are zero people in my area that play/are willing to learn Dominion. This is the place I come to have the fun of playing this game. As to your questions, here are my answers to the ones that I have some input for you:
Here are some features we have on our wishlist; please let me know if you would appreciate/use them:
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I would really love to see this become a reality! I agree that the quality of the bots is critical. And though it is a lot of work, it would be a big bonus if the bot AI could be multi-tiered.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I really love this idea. I use the online Dominion to get my head ready for the Con's I play in, so varying the style would be great.
3. A strong bot.
I said already being able to pick a bot-level would be excellent. New players would be able to play against bots that aren't going to beat their butts every time. The more experienced player gets to pick a challenge worth playing.
4. Options for timed games
I am rather neutral on this. I can see that adding the option could increase the challenge, just like a timed game of chess.
5. Options for undo settings
When playing person to person, I like this. People, aka me, make less than intelligent plays now and then it is good to have the Undo option. I would add a request to be able to replay the same kingdom against the same bots to try different styles and strategies.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I currently have no opinion here.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Yes, I like this idea very much.
8. More translations (to what language?)
I can see the need, but that is a LOT of work to do it right. Please use native speakers to do the translations. I only speak/read English, so the current setting is fine for my needs.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I would put this low on the task list. I find the current animation fine.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
As Dominion expanse with these options better visualization will make the online game playable.
10. Option to hide the log
Again, a low rated task for a change.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)/12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I would also put in for compatibility with Windows phones for the dozen or so of us out here that don't bite the Apple.
I really do not have any other input of meaning for you right now.
Again I will thank you for your work!
