TyrantMum here,
thank you for asking us what we want !
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots:
YES !!!! I miss the "kingdoms" where I could play the same game (same cards ) endlessly. It allowed me to not only get familiar with the cards but also to try different strategies to winning.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
A bot with different skill levels ? being able to choose what skill level of the bot you are to compete with would be nice. Happymeeple.com's games have this feature & I like it.
3. A strong bot.
I can't fathom what this would be. A "gentle" Bot for beginners & a ruthless Bot for advanced players ? that's pretty much a skill level thing & would be a good thing to be able to choose, not get by default
4. Options for timed games
Yes. I would like to be able to choose random live/human players by how quickly they play.
I choose to play with Bots more often than humans because they take too long to decide what to do. I would like to play more games with humans & knowing their skill level & preference for quick play would be a great benefit. having a time frame for the game to be done (like a sand timer, or countdown) I am not a fan of
5. Options for undo settings
I'm on the fence about this as I've found myself abusing the undo button (against Bots)
On the other hand I have found that often I play so quickly that I don't realize that I've clicked on the wrong card or option until I'm 1-2 steps away from that play. I'd be very curious to know what the options for the undo settings might be.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Yes, again I refer to happymeeple.com's site which has this feature & I like it.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Yes, definitely !, I would even want a beginner's table and a quick play table as well as moderate & advanced palyer tables
8. More translations (to what language?)
good idea but perhaps determined by the breakdown of which countries/languages are represented by the players/members
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
YES !!!! The past few month or so the animation has been terrible.It's been like a strobe light & so unpleasant that I've pretty much stopped playing on the Dominion site & gone seeking other games on other sites because the animation is so jarring.
I've tried everything to make sure it's not my computer having issues, & it's not my computer.
and somewhat related tot his : I hate that the game ends without complete play through. Can we please have the option to see the game through to the end, & not just when the Bot/computer decides that the game is over ?
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
ah the the way that the knights cards & such are pretty good now, but being able to know what's underneath the Avante & such cards would be nice. That would be a change I would like to see !
10. Option to hide the log
Yes, that would allow for a larger view of the play table.
and in addition to that, I would like to have the option to not see what cards my opponent has played. I'm especially not interested in physically seeing what cards the Bot is playing.
Also along with that: when The Envoy is played I have cards pop up in front of me asking me to choose a card to discard. I would like to see some sort of indication that the cards are mine or my opponent's, as sometimes it is confusing because there are other cards in play that need me to choose which card I wish to discard from a selection of my cards.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
nice feature, but not for me, would not use it, I find it too small to see on my phone
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
same issue, I would not use this feature
13. Downloadable game logs
yes that would be nice, also a Share button so that you can send your end score to different social media
sites
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slow players, ...)
I haven't used this feature, so I don't have a strong opinion, but would think Stronger chat regulations would be a good...encouraging people to keep the chatter down to the play & not the personal, the slow player thing I addressed previously.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Yes, I miss the old version that had the Kingdoms & didn't allow you to play until you went through the tutorial
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Yes I would think you'd get more people playing . again, someone should check out happymeeple.com, their tutorials for their games, while not excellent, are helpful & I especially like that they are animated & require interaction
