1. Dedicated refresh button
2. Dedicated "games button" so I dont have to hit menu --> main menu --> my current games --> choose game, when I'm in a game already and want to view another game that's not my turn.
3. Easier map scroll or drop down menu
4. Ability to play vs or with multiple bots offline
5. The ability to play 8 hour games OR have an option to make games from 3 min, 10, min, 1 hour and then 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, 24, 72 hours.
6. Ability to view the map before joining a game
7. Search for games with certain characteristics
8. Map editor anyone???
9. UNDO button - ability to undo a move even after its finished ONLY if you have not made another move already, attacked with that unit, or used a special damaging ability.

I will edit this if I find more.

Upgrades are not on this list because of balance issues at the moment.
New race is not in this list due to balance issues at the moment.

the problem with that kind of undo button would be the issues that it would create with fog of war. example: you move a unit forwards and see the enemy has a bunch of units just outside of your visibility. you quickly hit undo so your unit does not get eaten next turn.

You could work around Brainac's objection by only lifting the Fog of War after the move is confirmed.

Re: #5. I would also like to see a "Pause" button, so I could play a 10 minute game, but if it goes too long into the night we could pause the game for 8-12 hours to get some sleep, then pick up in the morning.

Yes, this would be optimal.

To your other comment, a pause button might be hard to coordinate with 4 or more players. Not sure how that could work. Especially with people in different timezones, abuse potentials, etc..

-> Great idea, I also would like this one

6. Ability to view the map before joining a game

-> this makes life definitive easier before joining a game without knowing how the particular map is looking like.

7. Search for games with certain characteristics

-> some filters would really be helpful, like map and time per round
