Loved the first game and I love this one too. I think the battle animations were a nice touch and adding some features to each province also adds a bit more strategy to the game. I wish you kept the ports, but it seems like too many people were confused by them. So getting rid of them makes sense. I wish there was a feature that allowed you to form alliances with other clans. However, this only a flash game. So maybe I am asking for too much.
