The following options would be nice to see:
1) Number of players
2) Which players(s) to watch
3) Type/Difficulty of computer players
4) Size of map
5) Default resolution to current screen resolution
6) Install to game directory (and support the plugins)
7) Show overall map and city ownership bar
8) Don't exit when the match is won, just start another match
9) Keep a running total win/losses/scores
10) Option to slowly pan camera around map, move camera to where the most action is, always follow strongest guy, always follow oldest guy, always follow random guy, or randomly change between these every x turns.

1 - 5 and 7 are all being worked on right now and will be in the next release.
6 - it cant install to the pocket war game directory for various reasons but it does already support plug-ins. If you create a mod directory under the pocket war directory you can install all of the plugins for pocket war. The problem is the current AIs don't use most of the existing plugins. That problem is being worked on both for Pocket War and for the screen saver.
8 - it already should keep going. It shows the X is out screen and then after two seconds generates another map and keeps going. However it still shows the options button on that screen and if you try and click it then it can exit out.
9 - nice idea I will add that to the list
10 - this is already going into the next release. The reason that the mouse does not exit like hitting a key does, is I am working on tieing the mouse to the pan code so that while the game is running you can use the mouse to move around the map
Keep them coming they are all good ideas.
What do you think about what is there so far?

Off the top of my head....
1) Ability to scroll map up, down, left, right with mouse.
2) Score for current selected player.
If I think of anything else I will let you know. :)

You can scroll the map with the mouse, just let it hover over the colored borders near the edges and it will scroll.
You score is always at the top left. If you want to see stats for everyone choose the save an upload from the save menu and upload the file to your account. There you can get a stats breakdown including scores for all players. The computer does not get a score.
For 1.0 I am looking at moving the stats into the game. It will become one of the lists like the lists of cities, lists of units, etc.
