I'm wondering if the removal of the "war" aspect has something to do with the much closer relationship with Facebook.
One of the most brutal (and, of course, most successful) players on my old Age I server was always telling those he conquered to "go back to Farmville" if they complained. Back then it was just something to say... but now on Age II, a lot of the new players may really be Farmville devotees looking for a diversion. These folks are not quite ready for the prolonged, heated, epic battles of Age I, so perhaps they are being eased into it gradually to keep them from getting discouraged and leaving the minute they get attacked.
