With the latest app update, you no longer need to use a separate browser to view profiles; however, you can't see things like common games vs an opponent of their winning percentages. I don't see a link to open the full profile.

imIf on app, same as browser but go to Profile icon in top right > Settings
Random slots

In games with custom scenarios, it would be nice to not know which one you get. If you would get a random custom scenario slot, it could make games much more interesting and more people would join games

Added in update 5.24.0.
On the "deploy" popup window, add a button that would switch to the "Attack or Transfer" dialog for this territory

So, when deploying troops on a territory, we could immediately prepare attack orders for this territory. Then, on the "Attack or Transfer" dialog, there could be a "go back to deploying mode" button, or something like this.

You can use ctrl+click to deploy using the attacks phase as well as other hotkeys https://www.warzone.com/wiki/Hotkeys.
Allow for multiple transfers, and switching back and forth from attack, transfer, placement.

These rule changes allow for a game mode that I still play on warfish.

The ability to switch from transfer, attack, and placement make gameplay on your turn flexible. There is a limit to 3 transfers, and just X armies in reserve. A limit on max armies on territories, and max in reserve. No card bonus, and an elimination bonus.

The rest should be doable by bonus map structure (as long as bonuses can overlap on the map).

Very fun mode, just didn't see the ability to play this mode... I would like to port the mode over, but just simply can't without these rules in place.

Add ability to filter out tournaments you have lost

There are many tournaments I have joined where I lose in the second or third round but then they keep going for weeks after I lose because other people are still playing. I would love if there was a way to filter out tournaments that I have lost while looking at the tournaments tab

Alliance Card / Game mode

A game mode option or card that allows players to actually form teams/alliances in game in which they would have to break the alliance in order to attack that player again. After breaking the alliance they would have to wait X number of turns (can be customized in the options). When in an alliance they will have the team chat option and will be able to transfer armies and things just like a normal team game.

The Diplomacy Card already exits and there are several diplomacy mods
Receive base number of card pieces regardless of attack success

The current rules state: In order to qualify for receiving cards in a turn, players must capture at least one enemy or neutral territory. It does not matter how many they capture beyond the first - they just need to capture one or more. Players that don't capture any territories or only capture teammate territories do not receive any card pieces that turn.

When you successfully attack and capture an enemy or neutral territory, at the end of that turn you will receive a piece of a card, regardless of whether you lose the territory later that turn. You can't get more, no matter how many territories you take.

I reccomend that other options should be available, such as: successful capture only, and base income per turn.

I want to do this for a duel, with full fog, commerce on, and only 2 territories, so that we can use number of turns to strategically choose between two of four or five cards that have different chances of having a piece received but useful for a duel.

Such as a one turn recon card that is relatively easier to get than saving up a number of turns for a much more expensive or less likely to be received pieces for spy card that lasts 3 turns. Or a cheap reinforcements card vs an expensive sanctions card.

The issue is, because of the "must successfully capture" rule, you can not gain pieces passively like armies, or gold, and so it is useless on a map with only one territory per player. But even in general, this would be a fresh twist up on settings that allow for new game types.

Peace status to solve AI attacks.

I wonder if it would be possible to add a peace status function to the game mainly to solve the problem with players turning AI which then starts to attack players they had a negotiated peace with. I noticed another suggestion about peace treaties but this isn't quite the same.

We all know how much it affects games when somebody turns AI and the AI then begins attacking all over, especially on bigger maps, diplo or ffa doesn't matter. Then a player might come back and borders have to be restored, your diplomatic relations might be affected and so on. I'm thinking being able to set other players to peace status could solve that.

What that would mean is if you set somebody to peace status and later orders an attack on that player you can still do it but you'd get a pop up, one for each player you're about to break the peace with, saying something like: "Are you sure you want to order an attack on "name" whome you have peace status with? This will remove your peace status with "name". Yes or no." That could avoid attacks made by mistake. If only the other player have set peace status with you you'd get a similar pop up saying for example ""name" have set peace status with you. Are you sure you want to order an attack? Yes or no". No would simply cancel your order.

If somebody turns AI this new AI wouldn't attack a player with peace status, perhaps not even deploy armies in that direction but that might be asking for too much though :). But at least we could get an AI that would recognize peace status between players and act like a diplo card has been played vs players with peace status on. No more AI's breaking peaces you've agreed upon in chat.

Another problem with the current system is that it can be abused as an ugly tactic when somebody intentionally turns AI and later takes back control to cause chaos or gain advantages. Peace status can solve that too.

What problems could this addition have?

The AI would still treat all other players as enemies as usual and if you would finish the game alone with a friendly AI I suppose it either gives up if you have the rule AI players surrender when only one human remains set or you get another pop up explaining "You are the only active human player. All active peace statuses are now turned off." Then all the AI controlled players will treat you and each other as enemies again so the games can be finished.

Abuse? It won't completely solve the current problem with using turning AI as a tactic to cause chaos or gain advantages if players skip/forget setting peace status or removes it just before they want to let the AI do damage. But if you don't do it it can be considered intended since if peace status had been set it wouldn't have happened. However it is completely solved if all it takes is that the other player/players set peace status with you and your AI can recognize that. Then it would only be a problem if neither player have set peace status with the new AI and then you can only blaim yourself for not setting peace status on before somebody turned AI. You can not set peace status with an AI but you can end a peace status with an AI with an attack.

I don't want this to be a peace status function where two players both have to set peace for it to be active. This is simply to help yourself not accidently attacking a friend or not causing trouble if you turn AI. You must of course still be able to attack anybody with peace status on if you want to make a backstab or if you have agreed with another player that peace is over. All you have to do is ordering an attack instead of manually cancelling the peace status somewhere.

I don't think it would be a very complicated addition. I find it an easy solution to random AI attacks or AI abuse and it isn't hard to understand or learn. I've discussed this suggestion with some other experienced players who all liked the idea.

You can use a mod called "Host spies on and can eliminate players" to do what the name suggests. While it doesn't disable chat, the host can eliminate players.
Prevent boots by having the turn advance sound play consistently

There is an issue with chrome where tabs are frozen and the sound from those tabs is not played. This bug has caused me to be booted from games hundreds of times. (when browsing in other tabs)

It doesn't seem like a great solution but something like this would likely work in preventing the tab from being frozen:

Relative Speed time

To search for fast opponents what often matters more is not the actual speed time but a relative speed time, compared to the boot time (It is a big difference if you need 8 hours in a 5min boot game or in a 3days boot game) or to the speed time of the other players in the game (e.g. sometimes you talk with your team-mates about a strategy or with enemies about a peace treaty)

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.

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 meaning any moderators. I give this 2 votes!

Seasonal ladder set to 0% luck

The seasonal ladder is played with 3 armies on neutrals. You need to take these with 5 armies each, cause you can't afford one more army on them. The succeed rate however is 94%. If one crucial overtake doesn't succeeds, then you are doomed and will most likely lose the game based on that. 0% luck rate would mean, you take over 0.6*5=3. So you would get 100% succeed rate, like we wanted. The impact of 16% compared to 0% is very minimal, so I would say this would only improve gameplay.

Realistic War Idea

Lately, several players have been creating games with rules such as "no attacking without declaring war" or "creating alliances as you will". The idea is that this game mode should be implemented so players wouldn't have to judge other players and waste their time filling the description.
