upsides:
-definitive version of Kingdom.
-more content to explore than "new lands"
-kingdom, the concept, is very good
-three keyed, one handed gameplay
*(except for a single mount, which requires shift for it's ability)
-the seasons change in this version
-each island is revisit-able with all it's upgrades

downsides:
-the features added are not worth the increase in price, especially for pre-existing users.
-plenty of bugs and hacky implementations
*walls are drawn beneath bridges before appearing above ground.
*leaf texture looks glitchy under rare conditions
*knights can fail to enter a ship if you leave before every unit has arrived at the boat
*etc
-winter is "do nothing and hope to live"
*winter does pass in this version
-making mistakes on an island like removing too many trees or losing diamonds can only be fixed by restarting the campaign.
