ere 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
That would be great. I actually find that Dominion does crash on a semi-regular basis and I am fine with playing bots if there are no people around.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I would definitely be interested in different bots. One of the things that I liked about the old play was that when you chose bots you could choose bots that had different skills. I will admit that one of the problems with playing the bot is that it's pretty easy to see what it's going to do.
3. A strong bot.
I would definitely be interested in stronger bots. Sometimes I feel like the bot is trying to lose.
4. Options for timed games
I am nominally interested in this one but there are some games that are going to take longer. Sometimes people are unfamiliar with the cards. Other times the promotional cards are complicated and they take longer. But I think that turns should be timed a little better. Often I get stuck with someone who has disconnected and I don't want to forfeit the match. Can the players be reminded that their turns are taking too long?
5. Options for undo settings
I feel like people abuse the Undo option. A couple of UNDO turns are fine, but sometimes they undo everything. Also toward the end of the game, the undo should be eliminated since the game is already taking forever. I have been yelled at and insulted for refusing to accept an undo. I think that there should be two or three free undos per game (no need to ask) and then no undos until the end.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Not sure i would use it.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Yes. This is interesting.
8. More translations (to what language?)
Not applicable to me.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Not necessary.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
I think it seems ok as long as I know where to look.
10. Option to hide the log
I would not be interested in it. ANd I would not want to have it hid if the other player wanted it that way.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
13. Downloadable game logs
Not interested in any of those. I don't think I want to play Dominion on my phone. I just got an Android this year and every month I'm eating up the memory.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
A little. But I am also fine with just blocking these people. However, with slow players, I do think that an automatic timer asking them to hurry up would improve things.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not applicable to me as a subscriber, but I think that if you want new people to sign up that you should have them.
