The only thing I'd really like to see added is an option for the player to select the orders during turn-based tactical combat when playing a single-player game. Shouldn't be too hard to add this for single-player if you just let the user select "attack" "fire" "hold" or a specific spell for each combat turn when the AI commander would normally generate that.

Actually that would be very hard. And basically that would be their first game (called Conquest of Ellysium and still available from their site)
MAYBE if it were started as a turn-by-turn single player game and then formulas were added for decisions by the AI players, but that would make the hosting run a real long time making it not very desireable as a solo-play game. And maybe if you only played against one race but I would hate to see a game with 15 or more races where each move was decided one at a time. (I know thats not what you asked but you cant have a game where all the AIs moves are made and only yours are asked)
MAYBE it could be done if there were no AI players at all, only human players doing their turns, but that would still be awfully slow.
As for gaining more players, Im not sure that being one of the best possible in a smaller field (PBEM games) is worth messing with to try to gain some people who play games in such a large field. Maybe they will try something like that for Dom3 but Im not eager to ask for it even though I do prefer solo play.
