Hello! I'm an old MF user. My username is mquander.
General feedback:
- I like your client a lot. It's much better than the MF client. I think it's better than Isotropic, too.
- I was very frustrated at the start when there were no ratings or leaderboards, because I find ratings motivating. Now that's more or less fixed.
- I really like spectating games. I really wish there were an easy way to see the games that strong players are currently playing and join as a spectator.
- Seriously, thanks for such a high-quality client.
On your points. tl;dr: I would like an Android app a lot more than anything else on the list.
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Uninteresting to me. I don't want to play bots.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I still don't want to play bots.
3. A strong bot.
I still don't want to play bots. I like competing against humans.
4. Options for timed games
Seems like a clearly good idea -- it's reasonable to have a timer on any competitive game -- but I don't encounter players slow-playing me so it doesn't seem important to me.
5. Options for undo settings
Sounds reasonable, but all the players I play just graciously allow undos and so do I, so I'm not sure it's important to me or that it would change anything.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Unfortunately I don't know enough friends to care about this feature.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Similarly, I don't know enough friends to care.
8. More translations (to what language?)
I'm an English speaker so I am fine already.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
As an experienced Dominion player and someone who is used to reading the log, I have no difficulty knowing what's going on in the current implementation and I don't think it would make any difference to me.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
This one would be nice. I had a hard time with the split piles before I learned Empires and I always had to go look up what cards were in them.
10. Option to hide the log
I wouldn't use it.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I would use a high-quality Android app with multiplayer, that would be really great.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I have an Android phone, so irrelevant to me.
13. Downloadable game logs
This would be cute but I don't think I would use it.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I haven't experienced anything that bothered me, so this isn't important to me.

I'm an experienced player, so this isn't important to me.
