I have mixed feelings

I think this definately will encourage role-playing, but the vast overworld that 2k2 has will still make it almost impossible to have kingdom wars. You don't expect everyone in your kingdom to come far and wide to get together for a big battle. It's so difficult to travel from island to island and meet others in a large atmosphere that big battles will probably never happen.
