Vacation Status
This would be a temporary status granted to your account that would give you a certain number of days per year to allocate to 'vacation' days. When activated, your account would be unable to be booted from games. This helps those who take vacations with limited internet access, but wish to continue with all their games without being booted.
12 votesWarLight now allows you to put yourself on vacation! See the blog for full details: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2011/07/announcing-warlight-1-5/

Skip watching deployment but watch everything else
When you would like to view the moves but do not want to see where everyone distributes their armies, you can skip the deployment and go straight to the moves. In the larger games it takes forever to go through where everyone deploys there 500 armies but it is crucial to strategy to see how they use them.
12 votesIn the new Unity client, deployments all play at the same time which makes them go really fast. Thanks for the suggestion!

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.

show game url in address bar
It would be great if the actual game url was displayed in the browser's address bar. That way if someone has to reload because of connection (or some other issues) they automatically get to the active game.
It wouldn't be hard to implement using the HTML5 history API, which is supported by all major browsers. (http://caniuse.com/#feat=history)
eg:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("history.pushState({},'',"+game_url+")");
on loading a new game.(One could even listen to the popstate event and make the browser's back button work properly. :)
12 votesWarLight now shows the URL to the game in the address bar! Thanks for the suggestion.

Remember community levels you've played
Add a page where you can see community levels you've played. This would make it easier to remember what levels you've played or resume a level you were playing recently without having to find it in the list again.
12 votesYou can now view recently played levels! Link here: https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer/RecentlyPlayedCommunityLevels

Don't require surrenders to be accepted in Free For All games
I would like it if surrenders would happen automatically and not need to be accepted in Free For All games.
I like to know I can leave a game if I want without getting booted. Another thing that I like is knowing when someone is surrendered so I can base my orders on it. Oftentimes I don't know if someone's surrender is going to go through this turn so I have to use troops and assume it won't, when I could use them elsewhere.
The only reason I can think of not accepting someone else's surrender in a FFA is…
11 votesGame creators have their choice of whether or not surrenders must be accepted.
However, I am pleased to announce that the map-of-the-week games no longer require surrenders to be accepted! Thanks for the suggestion!

For ranked stats on profiles, separate team games from non-team games
Your stats in your profile would break down into Team Games and FFA's. So for a 4 person game win, you would have stats for 2v2's, 1v1v1v1 (FFA), (no need for 3v1). I think a 8 person FFA win is way harder to do than a 4v4 win.
10 votesYour profiles now show team games separate from FFA games!
Note that games with uneven teams (such as 3v1) are no longer included, since there’d be no way to tell if you were on the bigger or smaller side.
Here’s an example:
2 player FFA: 271 / 370 (73%)
3 player FFA: 13 / 24 (54%)
4 player FFA: 16 / 39 (41%)
5 player FFA: 5 / 8 (63%)
6 player FFA: 6 / 20 (30%)
2v2: 138 / 181 (76%)
2v2v2: 2 / 8 (25%)
2v2v2v2: 0 / 1 (0%)
2v2v2v2v2: 1 / 3 (33%)
2v2v2v2v2v2: 0 / 1 (0%)
3v3: 30 / 46 (65%)
3v3v3: 3 / 8 (38%)
3v3v3v3: 2 / 5 (40%)
3v3v3v3v3v3: 1 / 2 (50%)
4v4: 15 / 22 (68%)
4v4v4: 0 / 2 (0%)

It would be nice if there was a button that could automatically remove all inactive accounts from your invite list.

Allow distributing bonus armies only within bonuses
Currently, all of a player's armies can be distributed on any of a player's territories. With this option enabled in a game, a bonus can only be distributed in the territories that comprise the bonus, and must be moved to the frontier using normal means. This makes for games with a more balanced distribution of armies, and reduces the advantage for the player with the most bonuses.
10 votesWarLight now has a feature called Local Deployments that does just that! Armies you get from bonuses can only be deployed in that bonus.

Improved Tournament Settings
(1) Real-time tournament results/rankings.
(2) More advanced tiebreakers.
(3) Rotating Teammates RR Tournaments: Each player plays with every other player at least once. The tournament (2v2 or 3v3) then plays out. The winner is the individual whose teams won the most games. http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/tournaments/individual-pairs/individual-pairs.html
(4) New Round, New Template: Each round in the tournament has a different template.
(5) Host can reduce number of players needed to start (in case the tournament does not start in a reasonable amount of time).
(6) Multiday tournaments are automatically deleted after a fixed period of time (if they don't fill up).
(7) Anonymous tournaments:…10 votes- and #6 are now solved! Tournaments will automatically reduce their size to fit how many players join, and tournaments are always started regardless of how full they become.

Remove inactive players from the ladder
When a ladder player or part of a team has been inactive for 6 full days, they are automatically removed from the ladder, as per the current "remove me from ladder" functionality. This would hopefully include seasonal ladders as well.
After 6 days, the player has been fully autobooted from every ladder game they were in at the time they stopped playing. Having them continue to get games only hurts them and the players that they played against previously. Future games are uneventful and take up game slots for their opponents. There are no positive effects of staying in the…

Sending Troops for Diplo games
This feature would be a setting you could add to a game that would allow transferring of troops to Non team mate players. This would be of great significance to Diplomacy games, as you could send troops to new allies, vassals could give troops to their liege lords, ETC. I feel that this would be a fantastic feature and make Diplomacy games even more intriguing.
9 votesI’m pleased to announce that gifting armies can now be accomplished using the new mod framework!
Check out the mod “Advanced Diplo v2” or the “Gift armies” mods.

Update the warlight Ios app to support iPhone 6/6s resolution
The current ios app only supports older resolutions and does not support iphone 6/6s resolutions. It would be nice to play on the correct resolution for the phone, instead of everything being larger than it is.
9 votesThe new iOS app should now fit itself correctly to the iPhone 6! Thanks for the suggestion.
