Hello,
I've greatly enjoyed this new version of online dominion. The best part of this platform is that it has a very solid foundation that was badly missing from the Making Fun/Goko/Funsockets edition. The overall speed of card resolution is much better as well. There was nothing worse than trying to play a Hunting Party stack on the Making Fun version. I also appreciate that my laptop doesn't turn into a cooktop that drains away my battery.
My biggest criticism of the current implementation would have to be the price. 42 Euros for a one year subscription seems very high to me and was the sole reason I have not renewed since my one free year expired. I feel like there should be some kind of discount for subscribing a longer time period.
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
3. A strong bot.
I would like there to be a campaign of some kind but nothing like the Making Fun version. It's okay to have a few levels of just straight dominion games but there needs to be a lot of levels with a unique twist to keep it interesting. For example, I once played a dominion implementation which had a campaign level where the goal was to set aside 3 Golds with Islands while facing multiple opponents who started with Pirate Ships in their deck. Campaigns should also not be limited to cards belonging to single expansions like the Making Fun version.
Originally I thought that I would only be interested in the offline version that was announced but if the price of subscription is decreased then I would strongly consider sticking to the online version.
All of my games on dominion online have been against bots except for maybe a handful. I would absolutely love if there was a stronger AI to play against. I don't think differing play styles is really necessary (except maybe for campaigns?). Various difficulty levels is a good thing to have.
4. Options for timed games
This does not interest me.
5. Options for undo settings
I think some improvements to the undo UI could be improved to make it clearer how far back you would like to undo.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
This would be a cool feature but unlikely one that I would use.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
This would be a good feature to add.
8. More translations (to what language?)
Doesn't matter to me but a good idea to increase the user base.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
This doesn't matter to me either way
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
It would be nice if when you right clicked a split pile it showed you both cards in the pile. The other stuff such as durations, reserves, and prince targets I've gotten used to already.
10. Option to hide the log
I would never use this. I greatly prefer seeing the log. I originally found having to click buttons in the log as a little awkward but I've adjusted and it no longer bothers me.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
This isn't very important to me.
13. Downloadable game logs
This isn't very important to me.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I rarely play against strangers so this does not matter much to me. Moderating the internet is a nightmare.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
This and adding campaigns are both required in order for me to recommend this platform to my friends.
Thank you for reading my feedback.
