i think it would be nice if the game's backstory was better incorporated into the actual gameplay a little more. you could play this game for years and never even know what the backstory is, and since that's the case, what is the point of it? it adds nothing to the game as is, so if you are going to keep it you may as well make it mean something. it could give the game a little more flavor.
maybe actual backstory for where each kingdom originated would be nice too
just for some concrete history.
