1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
-- Would LOVE this idea. I typically play against the bots - more so than against real people. Need to get in and out quickly and Bots provide this setup.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
-- YES. Love the idea. See above.
3. A strong bot.
-- I've noticed that I ALWAYS win against the BOT when Counterfeit is a card in play. The BOT doesn't seem to know how to use it correctly or wisely.
4. Options for timed games
-- I'm fine with tied games. A possible solution would be to award a win for whomever bought the first Prov or victory card.
5. Options for undo settings.
-- No. Shouldn't undo...we're responsible for the cards we play.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
-- Yes, this is a good idea. Especially if the cards are the same. Thus for 4 players you could have a tourney for 1 player vs 1 player, then have another table with the same cards so there is no bias.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
-- Yes. Needed and would be used a lot.
8. More translations (to what language?)
-- I'm fine. English works.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
-- the "end game" still bothers me. It'd be nice to see the final play...before it displays "end game."
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
-- nope. what is seen works really well and is very clear.
10. Option to hide the log.
-- This would be nice...but I do like looking at the log and glad it is there.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
--YES would love to play via a tablet.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
--YES would love to play via a tablet.
13. Downloadable game logs
-- No. I'm not that OCD to need this. Though I can see how others might be.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
-- Yes. Perhaps a "counter" for folks to count down if they are taking too long.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
-- Good idea. I believe the MF had this at a step by step process. Very intuitive.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.[/b]
-- Yes. See above.
Other thoughts...
1) I like the idea of playing "adventures" - against bot with different combination of cards -- going through a "journey" of different levels vs different opponents. I enjoyed that on the MF site.
2) It'd be nice to have a "reminder" of what the cards do. While I recognize about 98% of the cards, sometimes I come across a little known Knight card...and I forget what it does. I always need to jump to a wiki site (e.g. http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Dame_Molly) to determine it's actions. It would be helpful if this was contained within the game so I don't need to jump away from the site.
