By "automatic promotions," are you referring to immediate promotion on entering a promotion zone, on the piece in question making a capture, or on another piece being captured? The Prince promotion in Vanguard Chess is an example of the latter, but I've also occasionally seen rules like, "The Pawn promotes to any piece that's been captured; if there are none, then the Pawn stays where it is until one's available, at which time the Pawn promotes immediately and automatically."
The Wizard/Sorcerer/Thaumaturge relationship in Short Sliders is also something that I'd like to see available, though if it's too complex I totally understand.
It'd also be good if certain pieces that can take a turn without actually moving (such as the Zero or the Bomb) could, when clicked, bring up a button asking if that's what the player wants to do (possibly as a spell or something similar).
