I've really enjoyed this version of Dominion Online.  Thanks for making it!  I especially enjoyed the Nocturne previews - thank you for those.

To answer your specific questions:

Quote1. 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'm not so fussed about offline play or play against bots.  I'm more interested in asynchronous play with friends, though I do appreciate that that's a very difficult thing to reconcile with some aspects of Dominion (esp. reactions) and with Undo.

Quote4. Options for timed games

Not fussed.

Quote5. Options for undo settings

Not sure what the options would be.  Something like "Automatically grant if no information revealed" might be handy.

One thing I found which isn't directly undo-related, but which causes me to request undo more than I'd like, is that "Autoplay Treasures" plays coppers even when it stops the player from buying Grand Market.  It would be great if it could detect when this would happen and only automatically play your other treasures.

Quote6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.

Sounds interesting but I can't see myself using it.

Quote7. Option to invite specific players to your table

Yes please.

Quote8. More translations (to what language?)

As a native English speaker I wouldn't be using these, but I'd certainly approve of them happening.

Quote9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...

Meh - the existing ones are fine.

Quote10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...

Yes please.

Quote10. Option to hide the log

No thanks.

Quote11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)

Not fussed.

Quote12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

Yes please.  (can you tell what phone I have?  ;) )

In particular, on the iPhone, I find the game almost unplayable in portrait (which I don't mind) but in landscape I find that whenever I try to buy a Province or a Gold I instead end up summoning the browser's toolbar.  So even a wrapper app that just loaded the website without toolbars and disallowed portrait orientations would be an improvement.

Quote13. Downloadable game logs

I wouldn't use these myself, but I do sometimes see analysis on DSF which might benefit from this feature.

Quote14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)

I haven't had a problem here, but definitely one to keep an eye on.
