Temporary AI
Instead of having to boot someone or wait forever, how about having a limit after which the person is turned into an AI for just one turn. That would let the game continue and olny penalize a slow player moderately but not remove them from the game. A setting may be 2 days and then vote to either boot or temporary AI the player. Also, instead of 1 turn maybe set it so the player could just opt into the game again when they return with the AI just replacing until they do the opt in. That would then be…
6 votesNow that players can come back from being an AI, this essentially gives you what you’re asking for — someone can be an AI for a few turns and then return to being a human. See the blog for the announcement: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2013/03/site-update-1-16/

Change Discriptions after Public
I have made many maps but I've noticed a mistake in my description. I think it would be nice to be able to change the discription after the map has gone public. Or at least add Edits to them
3 votesMap creators can now edit their map descriptions even after they’ve gone public! Simply open your map and click the “Edit Name/Description” button.

Allow a "Show-All" visual -like that seen during the game - during History Review
Right now, you have to scroll through every move or just get a gross overview of the before/after turn by turn. A Show all would be a visual of what happened during that turn
13 votesA show all button has now been added to the history!

Be more colorblind friendly
Ugh I typed this whole thing and then found it I had no votes left and it all got deleted, sorry but I really don't feel like typing that all again...
Basically I need names in the order bar such as "Matts' card wore off" instead of just "card wore off" with a color box because I can not tell the difference between some colors.
12 votesYou now have the ability to change your color in games. This helps colorblind people since they can select colors that are more easy for them to see. Check out the new “Change Color” button that appears when clicking on a player in the lower-right corner.

While it isn’t exactly what you ask for, Tournament pages now load much more quickly than before, so the hang up with your browser should be gone. Additionally, declining tournaments no longer causes a full refresh, so in the end declining tournaments should be much faster.

Please add a feature to mass remove people from invite and black lists
It pisses me off to click single name at a time while I have about 500 added by the auto-feature. How about you?
3 votesIt’s now possible to mass-remove players from your invite list! Visit the Manage Invite List page and click Bulk Remove.
The second part of your request, to mass-remove from black list, isn’t done however. I’m not sure I understand the motivation for this one however – what’s the purpose? Feel free to create a new idea for this if you still want it.

enabeling to report a player without the game having to start. for example right now i am in a game that is named Nigger Land witch i would like to report but i actually have to join this game to report the creator of it witch is an atrocity.

Secondary Colors
It's a little bit annoying to miss out on a game just because you're picking a color.
Having preset secondary and tertiary colors would help to counter this.
Of course, being able to set the priority of all of the colors would be the best solution to this problem but that may be more trouble than it's worth. Two or three should be fine.
115 votesI’m pleased to announce that WarLight now supports secondary colors! Just visit https://www.warlight.net/ChangeColor and you can enter an alternate color that will automatically be used when your primary color is taken.

Chat rooms on Warlight.net
I would like to see chat rooms on Warlight.net, that are not in the game. If the chat rooms were created, then I would think it should be under a sub-heading labeled "Chat" under the Community tab. There would be several chat rooms, ones for free members and some for paid members. I think it will be a great idea and a very poplular idea because on Chess.com, they had Chat rooms like that. Plus, you could have a live Help and Support room, for people with questions that you can answer and/or other members can answer. I am not…

Graph for Visible Armies deployed
a graph showing how many armies each player deployed per turn. during the game it would show what you see, then after the game it could show total armies. or have an option to switch between total or just those visible to you.
29 votesWarLight now has a graph that shows the number of armies you saw each player deploy!
Check the graph section for the new metric “Armies actually deployed each turn”

Variable turn length and 3/n strikes option for boot
Turn length isn't quite flexible enough. I'd like to be able to:
-set a different length for the first turn (especially on team games, where some discussion is needed)
-allow an automatic turn extension where teams inadvertently play the same cards which pushes them over the time
-have a third option for boot, to allow players a specified number of 'strikes' before autoboot. Even reliable players go over time sometimes, and it can ruin a good game if they are booted for one slip.1 voteVariable length turns are now possible! With the improved banking boot feature, you now have lots more flexibility in turn lengths.

Chat window docked and permanently visible..
Have the chat window docked in a permanent position, I find it a bit annoying having to open it and move it around all the time, especially on team play when discussing areas, if you have to keep moving it out of the way.
36 votesIn the new Unity client, the chat window is indeed docked and permanently visible! Thanks for the suggestion!

Select player colors locally
Allow each player to select all players' colors locally. This would help people with impaired color vision a lot, but also other players may find this helpful.
21 votesYou can now update player’s colors locally! Check out the new “Change Color” button that appears after clicking on a player in the lower-right corner.

New Filter for "My Games": Active game or have unread chat messages
Would be nice if we could see all active games and all games were we have unread chat masseges at the same time.

invite by username
Allow the invitation of players by username. I play with a big group of people and sometimes a new player is added to the group, but his email address is only known to 1 other person, but more people know his username.

Setting to disable the window animation
This would add a checkbox under the Settings tab that would allow players to disable the "flyout" animation.
41 votesYou can now disable the “flip up” animation that was added in the previous release. This makes the windows appear and disappear instantly like they used to.
Just visit the Settings tab at the top of the game, and the setting to disable the animations is at the bottom of the page.

Soft boot
There are two main purposes of booting: player doesn't submit orders in given time or leaves the game/WL.
In the first case it's sometimes because he was unable to do so in given time (hardware failure, power cut, whatever) but then he goes back to WL just to see he'd been booted and can't play any more.
So, how about "soft-boot" mode? In soft boot player which doesn't submit his orders is replaced by AI for that one turn only. Then there's another full time turn when player can go back and continue his game. However if player leaves game…118 votesI’m pleased to announce that WarLight now supports soft boot!
To use this, enable the setting “Booted players get turned into an AI.” When a player becomes an AI, they now have a button that allows them to take back control from the AI. This effectively allows an AI to control a player while they’re away, and they can play themselves while they’re there.

Volume control slider
When playing and doing some other things in another tab (for exemple videos from youtube), that beep is annoying but usefull, so volume slider (under "sound: on/off" button) would be great solution for that. thanks...
15 votesWarLight now has a volume control slider! Just hover over the music and volume controls in the upper-right.
