Up/Down arrow next to ladder rating showing change
Basically to the right of people's ratings you'd show an up or down arrow if their rating changed and perhaps a corresponding +10 or -5 or whatever (perhaps only showing that part in the full ladder list where there is more room). Could do the little symbol by the rank as well. This would give a quick little indication whether each person moved up/down and how much in the last update or two or over the last day or something. Would give a quick indication of who is moving up and who is moving down.
6 votesArrows are now shown!

Use ads instead of paying!
For all of us people that can't pay the 30 dollars we probably wouldn't mind seeing ads on the site if we could play for free. I've seen the blog but I still have doubts I can pay this 30 for an online game. I suggest anyone who had paid to be able to get refunded.
6 votesWarLight now shows ads and lets players access the features that were previously only available to paying players! See the announcement for more info: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2013/07/warlight-2-0-is-coming/

Borders a different colour?
It's more of an inconvenience than anything, but what about making border colours slightly darker or brighter so that if I'm green and I take a green territory I can still see what areas are connected to where without clicking on each one.
8 votesThis is now complete! Territory borders now lighten themselves when the player controlling it has the same color as the border.

Like/Dislike buttons on forums
instead of having to write a post about agreeing with someone you could just hit that you like there idea.It could also let you see popular ideas faster and allow players to see who likes what.Also if say 10 people dislike a post it could be auto deleted and save having to manage the forum somewhat
3 votesWarLight now has like/dislike buttons on forums!

Free games... no pay for 3v3
This use to be so fun but now myself along with many others are boycotting this. Go with ad's to make money. No one wants to pay, donations would be great but 30 bucks? Forget it... It's a simple game... 30 bucks can buy me a highly interactive shooter at best buy. Oh well another one down the drain.
3 votesHey Agamemnom,
You should check out the WarLight blog – WarLight has already been changed to allow 3v3s for free players.
“No one wants to pay” is clearly incorrect, as many players have already paid and even expressed that they would have even paid more.

Make chat real-time
The idea is to make chat real-time. Basically, chat would not be tied to the "Refresh" button, but would be pushed out immediately. The reason is that with the current setup, it is extremely difficult to have a conversation with someone in real-time.
5 votesThe game now refreshes much more quickly while you’re actively chatting. This should significantly reduce the earlier issues that were causing real-time conversations to be painful before.
-
Save battleplan draft
This would allow you to deploy armies, make movements, play cards, then save those plans instead of committing them. This is important because it allows me to create and review my plans over a long period of time without keeping my browser open the whole time.
17 votesIt’s now possible to save orders and come back to them later! Check the announcement here: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2013/09/experimental-feature-orders-are-now-saved/

Add buttons to jump Orders to the top/bottom of the order list
This would be in the window when you click on a specific order. What this would do is shoot an order to the very top or bottom of the order list.
Why this would be helpful; You can save time because you don't have to click the up/down arrow a bunch of times if you have forgotten an order that you want in a specific place. Mostly on big games like single player or a Quad Earth game.
The buttons would be Double arrows up or down like in the history window.
36 votesI’m pleased to announce that WarLight now has new buttons that can move orders directly to the top or bottom of the orders list!

Show time left before boot/auto-boot in games list
A setting to show, on your games list, how much time you have left before you can be booted or more importantly how long you have before you will be autobooted. Perhaps with a little symbol of some sort to distinguish between the two. Perhaps a way to sort games by time left before boot as well so you can bring the games to the top where you have the least time remaining to make your move. As it stands you have to go into a games settings to see which have auto-boot, how much time it is and how…
4 votesThis feature has since been added.
-
Public API
This would allow software developers to extract information, send commands programatically, and all sorts of other fun stuff. Like AI battles.
7 votesWarLight has a rudimentary API that allows you to do some things. You can read about it here:
You can’t yet play games, but you can get game information.

Players able to rejoin a game after theyre booted if the AI takes over
Exactly what the title implies, if the setting is AI takeso ver if player booted, then the player can start playing again as long as their AI hasnt died before they want to rejoin the game.
4 votesPlayers can now re-join a game after the AI takes over for them! Just open a game where you’re an AI and click the new “Take back control from AI” button.
-
Cleverer AI
I'd like to see some more/smarter options for the AI -- perhaps just several difficulty levels, or perhaps also different styles of play. This is useful for playgroups who want to face off against a computer team, but still face a challenge.
94 votesI’m proud to announce that WarLight now has an all-new improved AI! Read more here: https://www.warlight.net/blog/index.php/2016/04/update-3-13-new-ai-custom-single-player-levels-autopilot/

a "paratrooper" or "bomb" card
Many of the games i play have everybody set themselves up with all of their armies on their borders and all of the territories in between with 1 army. I think a para-trooper card where you could drop a select number of armies to take over a territory in the middle of your opponenents land would be good, or a bomb that you could use to reck some havoc in the territories that everyone seems to ignore. Heck call it a "rebellion" card and have it so you can overtake one of your opponents territories
1 voteBomb cards have now been implemented as a member-only feature. It halves the amount of armies on an adjacent territory.

Sort user-created maps by date
Since I mostly play the user-created maps - and I have played just about all of them - it would be helpful to have them sorted. That way, each time I login, I can see, from top-down, which ones have been added or modified most recently.
1 voteIt’s now possible to sort maps by date! Just select “Newest maps first” from the sort

Map rating and commenting system.
This would allow for maps to be rated and commented on.
26 votesI’m pleased to announce that WarLight now has an extensive map rating and reviewing system!
See the announcement for details: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2012/03/announcing-map-ratings-and-reviews/

Allow players to be saved as part of a personalized template
This would allow you to create games with the same players as you had done previously. These could be humans, open seats, or AI players.
This would also allow for exact re-matches, removing the need to add each player from your invite list if you want to create a re-match.
2 votesPlayers can now be saved in templates! This was actually done years ago, but I never updated the item until now.
-
An option to mute a player.
An option to mute a player.
4 votesAny chat by blacklisted players is now hidden. This effectively means that you can blacklist a player to mute them (though you may need to refresh your browser before it takes effect – hopefully this will be fixed soon)

Music
When I play "fast" game and i wait on other players, i I'm getting bored. Why in Warlight is'nt music? Music should improve the game ;) This will be perfect :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTeCXOhF1cs
15 votesWarLight now has music! It defaults on in single-player, but off in multi-player. You can control it in the upper-right corner.

3 votesI’m happy to announce that the new Maps page lets you see all the maps on the website, without going to Create Game!
