I just reached 10,000 idols and wanted to give my 2 cents.

First, every update since I started playing 900 hours ago has been a huge improvement! Keep doing what you're doing.

However, a few minor things I would like to see are:

1. Improved Free Play rewards. Especially with 37/46 achievements, i do not have many objectives left to choose from. I end up grinding Free Play between special events to strengthen up for Mischief at Mugwarts.
Maybe something like 5 rubies per 100 levels or a daily quest unlock at the end of each Free Play where the difficulty/reward of the quest scales with how far you ran.

2. More Movement Speed. A buff that increases Movement Speed for 30sec/1min with a 5 or 10 minute cooldown would be great! Preferably on the Sasha/Groklok slot to unlock it early on. ("Down Hill Charge!"?)
Static Movement Speed would also be very helpful. The easy answer is a Talent. Another idea would be to change the Ring items into Boots. At 10,000 idols/900 hours played, I have 348% increase from rings. My bonus from rings is about 1% of my bonus from idols - not significant. If rings were boots that gave .1% Movement Speed per instead I would have a set 35.8% Movement Speed increase. I would much prefer the Movement Speed.

3. The 'Storm Rider' buff seems under powered. I have Thalia's rare amulet and max cooldown. With 'Magnify', every 4 hours I can increase my dps by 22.5%. Compared to experience points where every active crusader gets a 100% increase every 5 hours, this seems irrelevant.
It would definitely be more useful if it was a stacking buff (i.e. with no enhancements, +10% dps the first use, +20% the second, +30% the third, etc.)
With no cooldown or item enhancements, that would mean to receive a 100% dps increase from 'Storm Rider' (same as 5 hours of idle run time for crusaders), it would take 4 uses {first use +24 hours, if used every 8 hours}. It may scale too high after a few days off use (or with timewarps), especially with max cooldown and Thalia items, so it may need to be adjusted with this current formula. However, as it stands now, I don't get the point of it.

4. Buffing Utility Crusaders. With the recent progress towards improving certain crusaders utility (changing items from dps increase to ability increase/buff cooldown and releasing event crusaders that have less flat dps increases and more formation based buffs, and more utility overall), it would be awesome if some crusader's final ability was a scaling buff or utility instead of a dps increase per 25 levels.
For example, Gold Panda could increase gold gained by 1% for every 100 levels, Sasha could increase Movement Speed by 1% for every 100 levels, Princess 1% dps for every 100, Atraxes 1% crit chance for every 100 levels, etc.

5. Hotkeys. Attaching buffs to hotkeys (default numbers 1-8) would be great, especially to activate other buffs while using 'Click-o-rama'.
Also, hotkeys for scrolling through achievements (default left/right arrow or page up/page down) would be very helpful. It feels like it takes forever for me to scroll to the end to check the event specific achievements. If I have to click back to the crusaders to read the specific abilities required for the achievements, like with Kyle's 6 formation specific requirements, then check the achievement again, it's a pain.

Anyways, thanks for the great game!

for number 5, for any 'list' either vertical or horizontal in any codename entertainment game one can click an arrow to move 1 place in that direction, click shift arrow (or possibly control arrow) to move several positions in that direction (in this game for achievements that is one 'screen' which is 11 positions with that one click) and control shift arrow to go all the way to the end in thagt direction with that one click.
not really useful when trying to perhaps find one specific achievement, but helps.

" At 10,000 idols/900 hours played, I have 348% increase from rings. My bonus from rings is about 1% of my bonus from idols - not significant."

Different buff categories are multiplicative. 30k% idol buff plus 300% rings boost does not mean 30.3k buff but 120k% buff.

Same goes for Thalia. You take 20 hours to get his buff to 100%; during the same time XP buffs go up to 400%, total increase is not 500% but 800%.
(although he still is pretty weak)

Crusader skills (click-o-rama, etc) are already mapped to 1-8

i was going to say that but figured he meant something else.
p.s. almost all softkeys are explained in the in-game guidebook.
