Real-time teammate moves
Allow a player to see their teammates' moves in real time. This could allow for more efficient coordination of attacks and prevent duplication or territory selection.
The option could be a player specified setting/checkbox. It could also only take effect once the player commits (since that information already exists), but real-time may be more useful.

Better Forum Software
There is a lot of free forum software, such as FluxBB, PunBB, MyBB and others. They support BBCode, and some software allows you to add BBCode if necessary.
You can also show who's online on the forums, edit posts, make locked topics more obvious, and many more helpful things.
Plus, Matma Rex has a mirror for the current forum so even if you do remove the current forum you can still read posts from it.
5 votesAn important feature of the WarLight forum is that it integrates with WarLight – i.e., it allows you to use the same login, link to your profile, etc.
The forum systems you mention won’t do this out of the box, and the open source ones are licensed under the GPL which prevents me from adding these features to them.
If you want a specific feature added to the forum, you can create an idea for that feature. If you find one that’s licensed under something more permissive like Apache or MIT then you can suggest that, but when I set out to add the forum to WarLight I could not locate any.
Switching to a GPL-licensed forum system is not possible, so I’m closing this idea.

Blacklist info
Must use a dropdown when blacklisting a player maybe 10 reasons like Harrasment, language, cheating, arrogance, excessively slow play, just a jerk, idk... too skilled for me?, whatever typical reasons people blacklist anyone.
Then have a a way to view everyone blacklisted to see why, who, and how many felt compelled to blacklist them.... maybe this might change some players behaviors.
You could even have a toggle option to allow the blacklisted player to message the blacklister to discuss/petition being un-blacklisted.Having played with several hundred unique players I have three blacklisted, two for cheating in a FFA (admittedly) and…

Atomic Bomb card
Similar to the airstrike cards suggestions, but slightly different:
The bomb could of course be launched everywhere, causing for instance:
- half of troups dead on target land
- 4 troups dead on adjacent lands (turning into neutral territories if all troups are killed)
- 1 troup dead on adjacent territories of range +2This could indeed give a great strategical interest to the games. It could be available after like 10 turns by default.

Limited multiattack (host controls attacks per MA)
My playgroup is finding that the multi-attack can really imbalance a game, as it synergizes with the snowball of one player recieving more armies than the other (winners keep winning, losers keep losing). The steamroller tactic with multiattack is very devastating when you have significantly more armies than your enemy.
The solution: Allow the host to set the number of moves per multi-attack. It is a more realistic and balanced approach, in our opinions. It simply doesn't make sense to be able to roll across an entire continent in a single turn.
Proponents of multiattack say that it adds complexity…

"Spoken Languages" in Profile
You can't always see at a Players name, his spoken language.
Sometimes I notice at the end, that my Teammate speaks the same language than me (German).
Because both are thinking that the other speaks English.
Than I always think: "There would have been a better kommunikation, if we had known that".It would be good if there would be an information of "Spoken Language" in Profil.
Like this:
Mothertongue: German
Other spoken Languages: English, French and Spanish.5 votesPlayers should add this information in their bio.

Aid Card
An "Aid Card" could function identically to a "reverse" Sanctions Card, in that it multiplies income rather than divides it.
The reason for having it as a separate card however, would be so that one can have both sanctions and "reverse sanctions" in the same game. Additionally, it could be given unique functionality in that one can only use it on others. (Being able to use it on oneself could also be toggle-able like so many other features).
I think a card like this would have enormous appeal in 'Diplomacy' games, where a player might want to help an ally…
5 votesThere’s no point to have a new card that adds armies when a negative sanctions card could be used.

personal notes box in a game
It would be nice to have a personal notes box in order to store your analysis of a game. It could be similar as a chatbox like there is now, but then only visible to yourself. I think a lot of players would like to have this feature (and it is easily created)

User controlled AI's

No Duplicate Accounts on Warlight.net!
Hello, everyone. I am posting this forum because I want duplicate accounts to be not allowed on Warlight.net. I have been dealing with this problem over the course of this week and a little bit of last week, but I think the person who has created the duplicate account has been banned. So, to prevent duplicate accounts with the same name on Warlight.net, I think that every username on Warlight.net should be unique, and no one else can use that username, or even put spaces at the end or beginning, but they can still use that username, just have it…
4 votesThe issue you ran into to isn’t a problem of duplicate names, it’s a problem of trolls trying to aggravate you. Disallowing duplicate names would not solve this situation, as the trolls would simply choose a different behavior to troll with.
Impersonating other players is already against the rules, and the accounts that did this to you have already been banned. If this happens again, you should send me an e-mail at fizzer@warlight.net with the link to both your profile and the profile of the impersonator and it will be dealt with.

Allow users to make "suggestions" to AI teammates
I Have had the idea of making suggestions to the AI. These would not be binding commands but using whatever decision making process the AI uses, it would get a percentage of application. If the AI "thought" it was reasonable there would be a greater chance that it would follow your suggestion. (Deploy x armies to territory, Attack territory w x armies)
I see the ADMIN'S concern that this would make the game take too long to make choices. Perhaps the response to this would be a limit on suggestions, either maximum per turn (1 per turn for example) or…

Why I blacklisted this user
I blacklisted many user for some reason, but few days later I see same player in different name, I won't remember why I blacklisted that player.
So it would be nice to add a place in user profile where we can add reason why we blacklisted particular user.

Intel Card
A card that allows the player to see another player's total income for X number of turns.
(While there could be many uses for this card in FFA's or diplomacy games, I think the best application would be in local deployment games, where often games continue on much longer than necessary simply because neither player knows if they are winning or losing.)

adjust the ads that are shown--no preaching or politicking
This is a game that all kinds of people from all over the world play for fun, and some of the ads IMO are totally inappropriate. Regardless of ones religious or political views, ads promoting one particular religion or one particular political party or candidate just don't belong in the game.

Add "Recently finished games" to the my games menu.
I am often annoyed when looking for a game that ended recently among my games. And, I have fewer than many.
I know I can search by date created and game name, but it is tedious.
Hving this option seems like an easy fix

Nuber cards to their priority of play
With Cards being played in any give game, any number of cards may be in the game or available. It would be VERY helpful to have all cards numbered as to their priority of play, ie, Airlift #1 because it always happens first , Bomb #2 because it always happens second etc. etc.
4 votesThis page lists them: https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Turn_phases
Or you can just play the cards and look at the sequence in the orders window.

accepting surrender inside a team
i use such settings: surrendered man turn into AI, surrender must be accepted, AI surrender when 1 human remains. i want little change in surrenders accept behavior: accept must be needed only inside a team, no need to opposite team to click "accept". so when all people in opposite team surrendered and turn into AIs these AIs would immediate surrender, without necessity of accept surrender from winning team.
4 votesSame as https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warzone-features/suggestions/43357428-surrender-must-be-accepted-by-teammates-only. Move your votes to there.
