    add a ranking for the registered players to maintain the competition flavour in the game.
    if switching quickly between views in the MapStore, a thumb for a Category is the same as one of the maps, so it tries to download both, and save both to cache at the same time, causing a "[yura.net Cache] already has file" error

    for fixed cards mode, the dialog does not show how many armies you will get when you select the cards yo trade
    in statistics add a number of cards graph, so you can see the number of other peoples cards for FlashGUI and SwingGUI
    [Donate] button on main menu needs to say something else [vote/donate for next feature]
    (Flash GUI) Although the position of the game board seems to be saved, it's size is not. Nor is the position of new game, choose game [& size] (which is inevitably too small), stats, cards, battle (select attacking dice), disposition (move armies to captured country).
    make it say u can trade 3 different cards
    MapEditor - when you zoom with the mouse wheel, it should center the map on where the mouse it
    redo graph to use doubles instead of ints for scale
    should let u stop a game if it is in replay mode
    put in a pause finction, maybe when FlashGUI menu is open
    ADD replay to FlashGUI, MAYBE
    After a game is over over, I always wanted to see a time lapsed replay of the game... like a .gif made from still shots after each move so you could see how the game progressed.
    MapEditor - beside a circle brush - it would be nice to have the alternative to draw lines also, because is easier then to follow borders. or draw shape?!
    Checkbox to disable popup-window if others dices are rolling / Checkbox to enable a popup-window if its your turn
    Show Error to user for: in any GUI when u save with the file name "con" it does not save, if text file is being saved, then in prints to the console - This is a resurved file name in windows, so u can not save a file
    make the highlight fade in and out
    3D circles on map

Desktop Lobby:

    the SwingGUI and FlashGUI do not have a resign button for online games (maybe could replace the save button, as there is no need to save in lobby mode)
    Lobby GameSetup make the spinners force correct entry by 1 going down when another goes up
    on Mac OS in the lobby GameSetup screen timeout wrapps onto second line, sometimes??

Desktop P2P:

    after everyone has left server after a game, u should be able to rejoin the same server
    when people select a capital in network game other ppl can see when they select it in the console
    should be able to join a game at any stage and it should be fast

Android:

BlackBerry:

    the BB build is a debug build, it should be a release build
    i still dont have push token, and even though i've filled in the form many time online, they still do not send it to me

Website/General:

    add pay for feature to website
    bitcoin, where are they???

New Game Option Ideas:

    badges and reward system - for every number of wins you move up from rookie to general and 5 star general etc
    15 army limit per country
    unlimited reinforce moves
    defender can retreat to an adjacent country
    In army displacement phase after the battle phase, you can shift your troups how you want. But you con only shift troups between countries wich have a connection. Either they lies direct side by side or the countries have a contact over own land.
    option: If a new round starts each player who holds his own capital get's 1 or x additional armie(s) -> (fix placed at the capital) If you hold a capital of another player you get additional armies too -> (fix placed at the capital)
    Connected Empire Bonus Each player receives a extra bonus of armies equal to largest connected empire divided by 3.
    a limit to reinforcements for each territory Max reinforcement armies for each territory, every round, is equal to 2 plus 1 for each friend neighbour state a player has. Example: if I have South Africa, Madagascar and Congo (isolated by enemy territories) I can put max 4 (2+2) reinforcement armies in South Africa, 3 (2+1) in Congo and 3 (2+1) in Madagascar.
    In the same round, from every territory I can attack only one single enemy territory. I can't continue to attack from the territory just conquered. I can attack from others territories of mine. Example: from the Ural I attack and conquer Siberia, but from here I can't continue to attack China or others territories (i.e. Yakutsk). Obviously I can attack China from others territories of mine (i.e. from Mongolia).
    If a opponent has lost his last country, the attacker don't get the cards from the defeded player. The released cards will be removed from the game
    After winning a battle you can shift only three armies into the conquered land. In this way you can attack the next land with only two armies. This decrease the distributionvelocity.
    [checkbox] only make 3 attacks per turn
    Same time Risk - inovation (maybe)
    anytime card trading - a player can trade cards if the player still has armies to place at the start of the turn.
    If the task, you have to fulfill, is coincidentally solved by another player, then you had luck and nevertheless won

    -distribute extra units option - not really needed, but other risk has it
    Naeem - in 2 player mode let the player put 2 armies down at a time
    -let the first player not be random
    -let the number of troops for a cards trade not increase or be fixed or be none
    -let u NOT get the captured cards
    -do not limmmit supply lines/no supply lines
    -support missions were u need to conquer and hold countries
    -optimise defending dice by not throwing many if the attacker has all 6
    -wait untill next go to win mission risk
    put in some sort of campagn system where u get through diferent maps with diferent set up problems that get harder and harder.
    nutral player gets reinforcments
    a option that will restrict you from rolling 2 dice if you have only 2 armies in that country (you must have 3 or more to roll 2 when defending)
    i saw that in some risk rules you get reinforcements as seen on your card (e.g. for 3 artillery you get 3 artillery units)

    Easter egg - cheat for good dice
    Easter egg - when u select sertain names - things happen
    Easter egg - funny cards - NO TRADE CARD

Command Line:

    add command line options like "Domination.jar -server"

    should let you use country names in the console
    make it not case sensitive in the console
    Add Stats to the text console
    add a 'history' command like in unix
    somehow show trade cap and when u MUST trade - "New player selected: ELMEEEEEEEEER3. You have +number_of_cards+ cards, you must trade until you possess under 5 cards"
    Rolled dice... 1 armies defeated, 1 armies lost. 13 armies remain on +defendercountry 23 armies available +attackercountry+ for attack
